Description
*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the late 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

Iron Maiden
Somewhere in Time
EMI 1986 - EMC 3512
Fantastic 1986 pressing of Maiden’s 6th studio album.
The sleeve is in Excellent condition showing some fading to the spine but very little wear - a really glossy and vibrant example.
The inner is Near Mint with no handling wear.
The playing surface retains a great sheen. There are some hairlines - potentially sleeve removal related - here and there which stand out mainly as the rest of the surface is so clean. They don’t affect playback.
The audio on this copy is amazing. Great clarity and robust playback. I listened on headphones and could barely hear any background interference at all, even between tracks. I’ve always liked the production on this album - maybe something to do with the Direct Metal Mastering - and this format really lets it shine through.
Here is the pressing info:
1st variant pressing
Release is Direct Metal Mastered.
Semi-glossy cover.
Inner sleeve with lyrics and picture.
