12' collection: Live + One 1980 live EP released in Japan. 3 live and one studio track.





Live Plus one was a EP released in 1980 in the Japanese market.
Consists in a 3 live tracks recorded at Marquee Club, London in July 1980, plus the Women In Uniform song, studio version, not live, I think Maiden never played this last track live.
The front sleeve is a photo from a gig in Marquee Club and comes with a special Japanese sheet, in one side is the Women In Uniform single artwork with lyrics in Japanese and English and we also have the Maiden album photo discography, the other side of the sheet is Japanese information and a live photo.
The back sleeve is awesome!!
In Greece, they released this EP in 1984 or 1985, I'm not sure, but its a shit edition. The photo on the front sleeve is a bit fainted and extra songs included are just taken from Maiden Japan EP plus Prowler from the first studio album. And more, on the Drifter song they faded it in the end, avoid that edition , it has nothing of interest.
Songs are:
Side 1: Sanctuary and Phantom Of The Opera live
Side 2: Driter live and Women In Uniform, single version.
