Notes

Initial Japanese first pressing. Comes with an obi with a vertical white box in the lower left hand side with text 初回のみポスター付!!which loosely translates to English as "Includes a poster only available in this Initial 1st Pressing!!" essentially meaning only this initial first pressing poster inside. Also comes with 4 page insert/booklet with color outer pages parallel to the inner sleeve bags of releases from rest of the world but with liner notes and Japanese lyrics transcriptions and photo discography on the inner pages as well as the large giant color poster. Outer sleeve has unique texture.

Subsequent issue(same catalog number and everything else the same) had an obi without this indication as well as no poster inside.

Recorded at Com Point, Nassau, Bahamas.
Mixed at Electric Ladyland, New York.
Mastered at Sterling Sound, New York.

    A really good mastering . The gatefold quality , the music , the dynamics is just driving . I gain up +1 db on my phono preamp . I don't have the UK or USA pressing but this japan is a keeper .

      I am blown away by how good this pressing sounds. So dynamic and heavy. Beautiful textured sleeve as well. One of Maiden’s best records got the royal treatment here.

        This is the best version I have heard of this LP, the pressing sounds bloody fantastic. Make sure you get the version with the poster...well worth the hunt.
