TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Information
Very little details are available for this rarity, we do know that it has been bootleged and they sell for stupid amounts of money. However this is a genuine original, pressed on black vinyl with factory stamped matrices, the unofficial pressing have been pressed on coloured vinyl and do not have matrices machine stamped.
This was possibly produced to help promote the albums from both artists [The Michael Schenker Group, Iron Maiden & Killers], with both group's touring in Japan the very same year. The first side features material from the first MSG album whilst the second side has two songs from the first two Iron Maiden albums
This has custom printed black on white labels, with the perimted text clearly states 'MFD By Toshiba-EMI LTD' and also has the Chrysalis & EMI logos present & tracklisting in English, the sleeve is manufactured from heavy card and is also white with black text with the logo for each band on either side with all text in Japanese, also includes the catalogue numbers for the three albums along with MSG tour dates. The Iron Maiden side of the sleeve also has Japanese text which translates to 'Big Success from their 1st concert in Japan! New Super Band from Heavy Metal Music'.
Condition
Due to the sleeve being white it does show up signs of age easily, however this copy is not too bad with only some light general signs of storage & age, with only a few light signs of wear.
The labels are clean with nice crisp print and only a couple of very light spindle marks, however the vinyl is showing hardly any signs of being played.
An amazing copy of this very hard to find and sought after pressing, the first copy we have ever seen.
