IRON MAIDEN - Maiden Tokyo 1981 (2LP) - FRA Verne Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

In my opinion this is the best concert of Iron Maiden's career! I am from the old school, which values Paul Di'Anno more than Bruce Dickinson, and the first two albums will never be beaten by the later titles... Limited to 500 copies and released in a beautiful, laminated sleeve, the double vinyl contains a recording of the full, 75-minute show (almost all the tracks from the first two albums) that took place in Tokyo in May 1981, during the tour promoting the band's second LP "Killers". During this short tour Japanese EMI recorded several concerts (the band played two shows a day), of which only this Tokyo one (the evening show) happily reached fans a few years ago (what is more, in EXCELLENT QUALITY), professionally mixed and... as if ready for release! And since only five tracks from the concert in Nagoya (recorded a day earlier) appeared in summer 1981 on the official maxi single "Maiden Japan" (EMI) - it is certainly a great treat for fans of old Maiden and the NWOBHM! On the fourth side, as a bonus, there is a 25-minute (recorded from the audience, good-sounding) portion of the said Nagoya show (including "Prowler"), from which four tracks ended up on the official maxi single "Maiden Japan"! An absolute must! New, sealed.
