Iron Maiden The Soundhouse Tapes - EX UK 7" vinyl single genuine rigina;    

IRON MAIDEN The Soundhouse Tapes - Mega rare genuine original UK 3-track Rock Hard Records label 7" vinyl EP, released on the 9th November 1979 and features three songs taken from the 'Spaceward' demo tape. 

Genuine original top opening heavy card flipback picture sleeve with a curve cut out on the back ROK1 and LYN etchings on vinyl runout.

The songs were recorded by the band on New Year's Eve 1978/79 and includes Iron Maiden, Invasion and Prowler. This was also the only recording to feature the band as a four piece, with Paul Di'Anno on Vocals, Dave Murray guitar, Steve Harris bass guitar and Doug Sampson drums.

This particular EP is one of the most sought after NWOBHM items, and this is the genuine article.

The sleeve is made from a heavy smooth card, with orange-coloured background with the name "Iron Maiden" on top, a picture of Steve Harris and Paul Di'Anno taken during a concert, and the title "The Sound house Tapes" below, with all three aligned at the center of the cover. It also has flipback's to the left & right with a curved cut-out on the top rear, just touching the photo.

The matrix details are etched into the run-out groove as follow:

Matrix Side 1
*EG* SA LYN 7627-IT ROK-1-A - hand etched

Matrix Side 2
ROK-1-B LYN 7628-IT *EG* SA - hand etched

Condition
The sleeve is in great condition is clean and crisp, with only light general wear with a couple of light creases.

The labels are clean with very little signs of usage.

The vinyl is EX and has only a few very light cosmetic surface scuffs and plays cleanly without any problems and still sounds amazing.

Overall an excellent copy of this legendary item.
