Guide to: UK Vinyl Singles
|
Having released nearly 30 singles in their career, Maiden have never failed to give the fan value for money on the collecting front. However this can also lead to major headaches trying to pin down all the various formats a single was released in. From day one Maiden where a step ahead of other bands in issuing more than one format of a single to give the fans something a bit more special. So even away back in 1981 the band had released three colours of a single, which hardly made a dent in the charts but to this day still commands a healthy market price. Of course the advent of Compact Disc has almost replaced the need for vinyl singles but which format is always the first to go when the band release a new song? Yeah, you guessed the old vinyl record and even though Maiden presses the odd vinyl 7 now and again they are still very much prized by the fans. The list will be the
record and the current market price and nothing else. This is just meant
to be a quick reference guide and only includes the rare and harder to
get vinyls from Maiden's career. |

| Notes:
-
The vinyl singles
released in the late1980's and early 1990's are all still fairly easy
to get so prices are rather low but expect to pay around the £5-
£8 for the majority of them. Since Maiden chart very high in the
UK Charts it is no surprise that there is a healthy amount of old singles
still doing the rounds and in very good condition. values compiled January 2003 Please get in touch
