Notes

Original copies with cardboard sleeve that opens on top.

Pre-release copies came without a sleeve due to printing delays.

Some copies came with a small insert offering a T-shirt.

A very small number came with the labels on the wrong sides (there are around 5 copies known among Maiden collectors, see last picture for A-side label with B-side grooves).

℗1979 Rock Hard Records Ltd. Sanctuary Music Ltd.

            I bought this at the Civic Theatre in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire when I went to see Iron Maiden on the Metal for Muthas Tour, 11th February 1980.

                My copy was bought without a sleeve - however the sleeve was mailed out at a later date, in an envelop just over 7 X 3.5, therefore the sleeve has a vertical crease through it

                    My copy (original) comes with the insert but it is different from the one pictured as there is no message about the missing sleeves and no merry xmas, just the ep, t-shirt & badge offers.

                      I got my copy in the early/mid 1990's. I have confirmed that the copy is original and not counterfeit according to all 11 criteria points listed with this release on DIscogs. Everything matches. However the labels are reversed. Side 1 has matrix/runout ROK-1-B LYN 7628-IT *EG* SA and Side 2 has matrix/runout ROK-1-A *EG* SA LYN 7627-IT. Has anyone ever come across a copy with reversed labels?
