Description
IRON MAIDEN - SANCTUARY
THE RARE UNSENCORED MAGGIE THATCHER PICTURE SLEEVE.
THE THIRD RAREST MAIDEN SINGLE, AND DEFINITELY THE RAREST SLEEVE.
THIS WAS VERY QUICKLY WITHDRAWN BY EMI IN THE UK AS FOR SOME REASON MRS THATCHER OBJECTED TO THE SLEEVE. CAN'T THINK WHY.
IN THE UK THIS WAS RELEASED ON 7 INCH SINGLE IN THIS FORMAT. THE COMMON 12" SINGLE WITH THE UNSENCORED SLEEVE WAS MADE IN HOLLAND AND IS FREELY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET.
THIS HOWEVER IS NOT FREELY AVAILABLE.
A REAL MAIDEN COLLECTIBLE AND AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR THE COMPLETISTS, PARTICULARLY AS IT IS IN THE MOST FANTASTIC CONDITION.
CATALOGUE NUMBER : EMI 5065
MATRIX NUMBERS: EMI 5065-A1 / EMI 5065-B2
THIS IS FIRST PRESSING MARKERS
THE SLEEVE
WELL THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT, AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS COVER WHICH IS IS SUPERB CONDITION.
PERFECTLY FLAT AND PERFECT FLIPBACKS. NO WRITING OR TORN PAPER OR ANY MARKS AT ALL.
THE SEAMS ARE PERFECT AND THE OPENING EDGE IS AS SHARP AS A RAZOR.
THE ONLY SLIGHT BLEMISH IS A TINY CREASE ON THE VERY TOP RIGHT CORNER, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THE SCAN
THE RECORD
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS 1980 PRESSING. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING AS INDICATED BY THE MATRIX NUMBERS.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS NO WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND I AM ONLY ABLE TO MAKE OUT A COUPLE OF SMALL SPIDER LINES WHICH INDICATE THAT THIS SINGLE HAS ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS IN ITS 24 YEARS.
IT PLAYS JUST SUPERBLY WELL.
THIS EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
