ozzy osbourne - prince of darkness

another superb japanese compilation of b-sides and singles. the song 'slow down' was of special interest to me. it's part of the u.s.-release of 'bark at the moon' but not so of the european releases in the 80's. there we have the song 'spiders' instead. strange little detail to which i can't find an explanation. anyway, my copy is missing the postcards and the sticker but comes with the insert and, most important of all, the obi-strip. jet records under liscence from cbs. 1984.

iron maiden - killers

i prefer the dickinson 80's era of maiden over the di'anno material but with the passing of paul in 2024, i really wanted to make an effort and add a copy of 'killers' to the collection. it took me a few months but this summer the search ended. bought this great german first press locally. emi records. 1981.

iron maiden - powerslave

had a parlophone re-issue of that album in my collection for quite some years. i upgraded with that german og pressing complete with tour sticker on the cover. the record has a bit wear but you can't beat the original feeling. emi records. 1984.
