Tell your family, tell your friends... you have been warned! I have my entire vinyl collection of nearly 70 mostly gem mint and rare Iron Maiden pieces going up! So keep an eye on my listings, ask as many questions as needed, and Good Luck!

Info: This auction item you are looking at is a RARE U.S. vinyl pressing of an album by Iron Maiden called "Powerslave" released on EMI/Capitol Records (SJ-12321) in 1984. Look closely at the picture as the gold-framed border on the cover says it all: "Special Limited Edition" on the top and "Virgin Maiden Vinyl Pressing" on the bottom. Also on the bottom in super-tiny print is, "Promotional Copy/Not For Sale." The reverse side is the same as the original BUT has NO SKU (bar code)! The thin inner sleeve has a full color band pic on one side and lyrics/liner notes on the other side. Both the record and sleeve are like the standard US release.

ALWAYS a low-starting bid and NO Sales Tax!

Condition: The vinyl is MINT. The jacket has minor handling but a good noticeable ding on the lower left. It also has a few tiny specks on the cover where the price tag once was. The thin inner sleeve has a small split on the bottom and 2" split on one side.

Track Listing:

Side 1: Aces High / 2 Minutes to Midnight / Losfer Words (Big 'Orra) / Flash of the Blade / The Duellists

Side 2: Back in the Village / Powerslave / Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Keep an eye on my listings as I am posting lots of records here over the next several months!

Quality and Storage: Having played these records in my past (or not at all!), I don’t recall any of these records having issues such as being warped or having skips. I never loaned them out, never touched the actual vinyl and have always been a mint-condition freak. In the early days, to cut down on vinyl usage, I used to make and play an audio cassette version made from the vinyl.

As I cannot take an hour to list each item with every possible detail (but will do my best!), I will gladly answer any questions if there is anything specific information you need to know about the listing that I did not cover.

I have only lived in two places over the last 25 years and the records have been living in their own custom-made cabinets inside a non-smoking household. They have never been in storage or abused in any way.

If you are looking for something specific and I have it, I will list it for you upon request.

About Me & My Collection: I was the guitar player/writer in the progressive metal band, CASSLE. (You can find out more on our website.)  Being a huge music fan, I spent many years working in and around the record business in Los Angeles. The famed record chain, Amoeba Records, has been virtually frothing at the mouth to purchase my collection. Since I and a lot of the working world are between jobs right now, I thought it best to sell to the general public.

What the collection offers is lots of old records that were out of print and in decent shape to cut-outs and promo stamped versions, white label promos to immaculate records in store-bought condition to picture discs, colored vinyl, bootlegs and lots of imports from all over the world such as the high quality releases from Germany and Japan. Lots of titles with their original cover art and/or original labels, some in their original unopened shrink wrap! If I bought it new and it had any additional inserts... they will still be there.
