Description

Iron Maiden - The Soundhouse Tapes 7" EP

This is what I believe to be the genuine article. I've owned it for over 15 years, having paid a fair price for it all those years ago, believing it to be genuine at the time (in fact, at the time I didn't realise there were so many fakes of them about otherwise I might have thought twice about it!) In that time, I've never played it - I daren't in case I scratched it! I've come to realise that as I don't play it, and I am so scared of damaging it, I'm not really appreciating the record any more: I'd rather somebody owned it who did.

I've looked at websites for details on how to tell real ones from fakes, and from what I can tell, it ticks all the boxes for being the genuine article. Even down to the fullstops (either normal or light) being in the right places. The two websites I used were:

It also has the correct run out etchings of 

  • ROK-1-A *EG* SA LYN 7627-IT
  • ROK-1-B LYN 7628-IT *EG* SA

The vinyl looks to be in good condition, there's a partial fingerprint on it near the label on one side that I haven't tried to clean off (again, scared of causing damage to it). As I've already stated, I've never played it, and I'm not planning to now for the same reason.

UK Postage I will pay for myself, including insurance - if I sent it without insurance I wouldn't be able to sleep until I knew it had arrived safely! If you are bidding from outside the UK, I will still meet the costs if they are reasonable, best to ask me before you bid but unless you want it posting to somewhere with outrageous costs (like the Antartic, the moon etc), it should be OK.

I do believe that this is one of the original copies, hence all the photos, so if you are going to bid on it please do not try to claim afterwards I have sold you a fake - I have the photos to prove what I'm posting out, from what I've seen on the websites listed above for it to be a fake, it would have to be a whole new one they haven't got listed.

PLEASE NOTE: this is an AUCTION, not an attempt to solicit private offers for the item. Sending me a message offering to buy it outright is against Ebay policy, and yes I am reporting all of the people who do it. What is wrong you, do you not understand how Ebay works?! Play fair or not at all!

 New photo added January 23 of the card sleeve - hopefully this one gives a better idea of the actual colour.
