Description

Condition: NM

This auction is for a Super Rare, Mis-Pressed, Picture Disc, UK Import, Promo of Iron Maiden's Piece Of Mind LP that actually plays Iron Maiden's Killers LP. 

How Totally Awesome is this??!!!  First of, it's a picture disc for Iron Maiden's 4th album Piece Of Mind!  Second, it's imported from the UK.  Third, it's a Promo copy.  And best of all, it's a mistake!  The front and back would lead you to believe that the record plays Piece Of Mind, but when you start to play it, the first song on side 1 is The Ides Of March instead of Where Eagles Dare!  The record goes on to play Maiden's entire 2nd record - Killers!  I have no idea how the pressing plant messed this up, but it created a super rare collectible!  This is NOT a bootleg, it was put out by EMI in 1983.  This would be great for any fan of Iron Maiden or of rare vinyl!  Very Super Sweet!!!

Grading:

Mint (M) - I rarely use this rating. Nothing is ever mint unless I was the first person to touch the wax or sleeve from the factory or it is sealed with no obvious marring or bending.

Near Mint (NM) - The wax has little to no surface scratches or imperfections and should play with no problems. The sleeve has no tears, smears, sticky stuff from removed price tags or ring or edge wear. You may see NM+ every now and then for records that I feel are in exceptional condition.

Very Good (VG) - The wax may have some obvious signs of prior play (minor surface scratches) or imperfections that don't effect play (like a ragged outer edge). The sleeve may have some wear but still looks good and functions well overall.

Good (G) - The wax has been played a lot and has much wear but looks like it is still playable. The sleeve has more wear than VG but is not completely falling apart.

Generally G is the lowest I go, but every now and then I will list items that are in worse condition. If I do, I promise to use colorful euphemisms to describe the record's condition.

Also, my grading system is meant to describe the quality of the product as it refers to age/wear/use, NOT as it relates to quality of the original material. For instance, I have many records that have nice, full color sleeves on heavy card stock. I also have records that have sleeves made on very thin paper and are only 2 colors (the color of the paper and one other ink). Obviously the former will look nicer than the latter even if both are labeled NM. You get the idea.
