Ultra Rare Iron Maiden 1979 limited edition of only 5,000 pressings. This is a genuine original bought in 1979 and has the following features which distinguish it from fake copies (according to Discogs).

1) 7" black vinyl record with a square picture sleeve measuring just a shade over 7 1/8 inches across and 7 1/4 inches vertically. 
2) The picture sleeve is made of heavy paper identical to the sleeve of the UK version of the 'Running Free' release. 
3) The picture sleeve has the opening from the top. The cutout on the back of the sleeve and at the opening is exactly 3 11/16 inches long. The cutout is curved and has diagonal cuts on either end.  
4) The picture sleeve inside paper is off white in colour. An aged look, almost beige colour is seen at the cutout on the top of the back of the sleeve. 
5) The picture sleeve is orange in colour. In original copies, the colour varies very little and only because of exposure to light. 
6) The picture sleeve back has flaps that extend from the front cover that fold and wrap around to the back of the sleeve where they are glued. The wrap around flap has diagonal cuts which are approximately 22 degrees on all four corners of the back sleeve. 
7) The cutout on the back sleeve at the opening has a curved shape extending downward. There is usually a small hit of orange gap between the lowest point of the cutout and Paul DiAnno's photo. 
8) The black vinyl record paper label's orange colour is darker than the picture sleeve. While the sleeve is orange the paper labels are almost a light red in colour. 
9) The black vinyl record side 1 and side 2 have markings in the run off grooves. 
10) The black vinyl record side 1 markings in the runoff grooves are 
*EG* SA LYN 7627 - IT ROK - 1 - A 
While most of the markings are quite easy to see, the LYN 7627 - IT is not. By having very good light and turning the record into the light is the only way to catch the markings with the bare eye. 
11) The black vinyl record side 2 markings in the runoff grooves are 
ROK - 1 - B LYN 7628 - IT *EG* SA
Again, the LYN markings are difficult to see with the bare eye without turning the record to catch the light of these markings.
