Description
Iron Maiden
The Number of the Beast
EMI 1982
Earliest UK pressing with A2 B2 matrix codes.
The outer sleeve is close to Excellent with barely any evidence of handling or storage, just a little rubbing on the spine remains strong and readable nonetheless. Has a manufacturers sticker on the rear.
The original lyric inner would be Excellent but for a small seam split.
The vinyl is difficult to grade. It looks VG due to quite a few easily visible marks, one of which is quite alarming, but is one of those records that plays A LOT better than it looks. Yes there is a little background here and there between tracks and the intro to the title track has background noise but the audio is near Excellent overall and I really enjoyed listening to it. The labels are very clean and suggest that despite the marks it hasn’t been played much.
The postcard is an original Reflex card from the 80s and shows the image from the picture sleeve of the title track 7” single. A nice addition here but not an original component of the album.
