Spectacular this shaped disc for the Fear Of The Dark Live single released in 1993. Its one of my favourite items.This particular copy is miss pressed, on the B side instead of Hooks In You recorded live at Wembley Arena December 17th 1990, we can hear Tail Gunner recorded also at that same date.

Picture discs: The Number Of The Beast 1982 LP picture disc in plastic sleeve.

This was the very first picture disc that Maiden produced. Don't you guys let be wrong by bootleg pictures discs that are making the rounds on Ebay and other several web record shops, they are fake although some even have the EMI logo.In this year they also produced the first 7' vinyl in picture disc format for Run To The Hills single.This picture is the UK pressing but there is also a USA official release with the same colours and probably , I risk to say, with an extra track for Total Eclipse, since it was a tradition in the eighties the USA Maiden albums have a extra song.

Picture discs: Run To The Hills 7' inch picture disc single in plastic sleeve.

A great item to have in our collection this Run To The Hills 1982 single in 7' picture disc, the first one ever made in this format.On the B side there is a photo which was the first ever photo shooting with the new kid on the block, Bruce Dickinson.
On the B side there is the Total Eclipse song, a wrong decision, in my modest opinion, should have been Gangland instead.

Songs are:

Side A: Run To The Hills, album version .
Side B: Total eclipse.

Picture discs: 2 Minutes To Midnight 12' inch picture disc single in plastic sleeve.
