LP collection: No Prayer For The Dying 1990 studio album. Red vinyl, 10 tracks. USA, Epic pressing.

This is the USA, Epic, edition for the No Prayer For The Dying 1990 studio album. This album was released in 01/10/1990 and reached the number 2 in the UK top chart.
This one is much different from the other world editions, the inner sleeve is all black and white ( the Mexican issue also has the inner sleeve in black and white). The vinyl is in a red wine colour. The songs are the same, no extras , and the back sleeve is also the same with the band photo. So, there's a lot of reasons to have this marvelous LP.

Fear Of The Dark was released in 11/05/1992 and entered straight to number one in the UK top chart, this was their third time doing this!!
The LP, for the first time, features an Eddie not made by long time illustrator Derek Rigs but by Melvyn Grant. Inside the gatefold cover there are some promo photos as well as the lyrics. The inner sleeves are just white.
This edition comes with a two sided merchandise sheet and a promo sticker on the front cover saying: " 2 LP set for enhanced sound quality. EMD 1032"
I have to say that this UK pressing was really a bargain because it cost me just 20 pounds more 6.50 pounds for shipping, and its practically in new condition, so, lucky me again, eheheheh!!!!

LP collection: Live At Donington 1992 triple vinyl in black colour. 20 tracks. UK pressing.

Live At Donington was released in 08/11/1993.
Having this vinyl is such a pleasure, my particular copy is the UK press, the most valuable and worth to have, forget the Italy , Brazil and Korea editions, this is the only one!! I'm saying this because the Donington show is in England, our boys home, so to me it has that special meaning.
The sleeve was the second time without Eddie and first without the Boys, and the inner sleeves are just white, no lyrics, nothing! It was a special limited edition, this copy is number 0963.

LP collection: The X Factor 1995 studio album. Gatefold sleeve, two clear vinyls. 11 tracks. UK pressing.

WOW!!! Is what we have to say about this edition. Its well worth the money we pay for it.
The vinyl has a gatefold cover, inside we can see a promo photo of Eddie on the electric chair. The inner sleeves are just white but there is a kind of poster that folds out and brings all the credits information as well as promo band photos and the lyrics. The vinyls itself of course are clear.

There is a Brazilian edition in black vinyl but I don't know if its actually official, since almost everything in Brazil is bootleg.

This is the colossal 1996 Best Of The Beast 4 LP vinyl box set.
In my modest opinion probably the best edition ever made for Maiden.It has 8 sleeves, each vinyl comes with two sleeves with promo and live photos on front and back and also photos and Eddie artwork on the labels, a marvelous colour book, with all the tour dates, lyrics, pics, single and album discography, list of bands that toured with Maiden, list of bands that Maiden tour with , Eddie artwork, all this packed in a marvelous kind of archive cardboard box.There are many reasons to have this item. First, it brings all the original 4 Sound House Tapes songs, Prowler, Strange World, Iron Maiden and Invasion. Second , has a new song called Virus. Third, a live recording with Blaze for Afraid To Shoot Strangers, which is not included in any single. And finally, of course the obvious reasons, its a great item from our beloved band, GET ONE NOW!!!Its really tremendous, a must have item.Please see the photos.

LP collection: Virtual XI 1998 studio album in gatefold sleeve. 8 tracks, two discs. UK pressing.

Virtual XI was the last album with singer Blaze Bayley, Blaze constant problems with is voice and always making mistakes, forgetting the lyrics etc was the perfect excuse to bring back the only man who can sing to Maiden, Bruce, but this was just in 1999.

This vinyl is so beautiful, you have to have this in your hands to believe, GRAB IT!!
