Description
The cover art shows the band's mascot, Eddie having just murdered the Prime Minister of the time, Margaret Thatcher. This image, though intended as a lighthearted play on her nickname as the "Iron Lady", managed to cause a minor stir in local newspapers (though this was nothing compared with the reaction to one of their future albums). On most copies of the original single, Thatcher's eyes were covered by a black box because the image was considered offensive. Copies without this box are extremely rare, however are not to be confused with The First Ten Years 12" rerelease, which no longer features the black box. IRON MAIDEN SANCTUARY / DRIFTER / I'VE GOT THE FIRE ORIGINAL UK 7" VINYL 45 in WITHDRAWN UNCENSORED PICTURE SLEEVE. RARE WITHDRAWN ISSUE FROM 1980. THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. BOTH LABELS ARE PERFECTLY CLEAN. THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Original UK single from 1980 This item is now 41 years old !!!!!!
I try to send out all orders within 24 to 48 hours. Due to varying work patterns and post office opening hours it is not always possible to do this. But please be assured that your order will be sent as soon as possible.
I am happy to offer a postage discount on multiple orders. You will pay just one single charge for postage of £3.50 and you can order as many items as you like. If your order is for 2 or more items you will only pay one postage charge.
PayPal and eBay now only allow orders to be sent with a valid tracking number so I have no option but to send items by ROYAL MAIL 1st Class RECORDED DELIVERY. This service actually costs £3.23 just to send and both eBay and PayPal charge me a fee on top of the seller fees. So although I ask for £3.50 I only actually receive £2.80 which doesn't even cover the basic postage charge let alone the actual packing charges incurred for the cost of Parcel Tape, cardboard envelopes and card packing etc.
I'm perfectly happy to absorb the extra postage costs myself. I try and recycle all packaging. I use a strong card outer envelope and use extra card inside for added protection. I always remove the record from the sleeve and add a plain sleeve for transit. This ensures that both the record and the cover will reach you in exactly the same condition as when I pack it.
