In 1980 the Japanese guys released the first iron Maiden live EP. Its called, Live Plus One and it was recorded live at Marquee Club, London, in July 1980. The live tracks are: Sanctuary, Phantom Of The Opera and Drifter, it comes also with the single Women In Uniform, this one is not live.The sleeve is awesome, its a photo taken at one those early shows at Marquee, probably from this show ( Maiden in 1980 gave several shows at Marquee Club along the year).The back sleeve is so marvelous, its a very coloured Eddie from the first Maiden album artwork. The vinyl comes also with the Japanese lyric and credits sheet. The artwork on the label its the same on both sides.
My particular copy is missing the OBI strip but I don't care, it would had cost much more money, and I'm not into that OBI stuff, its not important if it doesn't brings that.
For the ones who don't know there is a Greek version of this vinyl released instead in 1985 , but is so poor and without any interest...The photo is fading, the contents is just a poor compilation of Maiden Japan live EP from 1981 and Live Plus one. Brings nine tracks, all the Maiden Japan show, all the songs from Live Plus One and Prowler taken from Iron Maiden first album. The Drifter song ends, imagine, FADING... !! Brings also a sticker with the names of the songs in Greek. In my opinion its not worth to have this Greek edition, I had one and sold it on Ebay, to me is crap! The only one worth to have is this one you guys are seeing here, THE JAPANESE ONE, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
