WITH EMI BOX, AND EMI RECORDS LTD ON THE BACK OF COVER BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER !!!!
ALSO HAS, 'MANUFACTURED IN THE UK BY EMI RECORDS Ltd' RIM TEXT ON THE LABELS !!!!
WITH SUPERB EX/EX+ METAL AUDIO !!!!
HERE IS SOME MORE IRON MAIDEN, AND THEIR AMAZING 3rd ALBUM RELEASED ON MARCH 22nd 1982, AND THE FIRST TO FEATURE, 'BRUCE DICKINSON' AND THE REST IS METAL HISTORY !!!!
THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST LIVE BANDS YOU WILL EVER SEE !!!! THEY WERE FORMED IN LEYTON, IN EAST LONDON IN 1975, AND THIS DOUBLE LIVE METAL MONSTER COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1982 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  EMC 3400  A-2  'GIVE IT SOME HEADBUTTS'  ::  EMC 3400  B-2  'NICKZ' .
ON THE EMI LABELS  :: EMC 3400 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL UK 1st PRESS, WITH EMI BOX, AND EMI RECORDS LTD ON THE BACK BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH  ONLY A TINY RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND A SMALL RUB IN THE MIDDLE ON THE TOP EDGE, WITH THE OPENING EDGES STILL SHARP. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE ::  EX- .

VINYL :: PLAY SUPERB, BUT THERE IS A SLIGHT ISSUE AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, WHICH WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, AND CERTAINLY NO JUMPS, SKIPS, OR STICKS, AND ALL I HEARD WAS .....

ON SIDE 1 :: BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, BUT AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 1, ON THE TALKING INTRO BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS, THERE IS IS ONE LIGHT HISS, TWO LIGHT TICKS, AND BIT OF FAINT CRACKLE, A LIGHT POP AND ANOTHER LIGHT HISS. ALL SOUNDS BAD, BUT NOT THAT BAD AND IS QUICKLY GONE SO SOON FORGOTTEN .

ON SIDE 2 :: BEAUTIFUL AUDIO WITH NOTHING TO REPORT .

VISUALLY, LOVELY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW TINY COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A LONGER COSMETIC HAIRLINE ON SIDE BUT, BUT AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE !!!!

SO WITH THE START OF TRACK 1, BEING THE ONLY AUDIO ISSUE, THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE AUDIO IS.....

THE VERY START OF TRACK 1, ON THE TALKING INTRO, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  VG .

THE REST OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, AND THE REST OF SIDE 1, AND ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX+ .

LABELS ::  WITH NO WRITING, AND JUST A FEW VERY FAINT SPINDLE LINES SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS LYRIC INNER  ::  WITH NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLITS, AND DIE CUT OPENING EDGE, AND ROUNDED CORNERS, WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT HANDLING MARKS, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN NEW POLYLINED INNERS, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL DESCRIBED ABOVE :: EX- .

SO LOVELY AUDIO, JUST THE START OF TRACK 1, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND LOVELY COVER AND LYRIC INNER, SO ONE TO PUT ON YOUR WATCH LIST, AND CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO FORGET ABOUT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
