Japanese Promotional 7'' Vinyls

A Maiden record collection is not really complete without the addition of the 5 Japanese promo vinyls issued in the 1980's. These records are amongst the most rare and most regarded collectables in the Maiden catalogue and, not surprisingly, will cost a few pounds and dollars to accquire.
Of course finding these records is not an easy task with one in particular being the rarest Maiden record in the world. However a bit of searching and a bit of good fortune can always turn up the goods. So for those that have nearly a full set (I am one of those) and for those who are looking to get there, Trooper Sounds in proud to present a run down of these most precious vinyls.
