PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


MEGA RARE early Killers-era original first UK pressing on EMI from March 2, 1981 on CLEAR VINYL with four-prong push-out center, no title on the front sleeve and DOUBLE A-SIDE on the rear!!!  Vinyl is a beautiful VG++/NM-.  Sleeve is VG+ with a tiny seam at the bottom middle.  Oh so hard to find in this condition, particularly here in the States, so don't sleep headbangers.  Wrathchild is still my favorite Maiden song ever but I'm 55 so that's when I was introduced after I spotted an advert for Killers in Hit Parader and bought it based solely on that album cover image and was hooked line and sinker.  I have finally made peace with parting with this 45 by reminding myself that I still have said LP and can hear it that way.  


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
