Description This is the definitive self-titled debut studio album from the pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Iron Maiden.

The album captures the raw, punk-infused energy of the band's early years with Paul Di'Anno on vocals.

The cassette is presented in a clear/black shell with white text and includes the "Price Busters" branding. 3. Condition This item is professionally graded and encapsulated by REWIND. Seal Rating: 8.5 Certification: REWIND Certified Grading Notes: The reverse label specifies a "crack in case top," which is factored into the final grade. Seal Integrity: The factory seal is intact, though the "Price Busters" hype sticker is applied directly to the case/seal. 4. Notes for collectors Please note that this is a later reissue and NOT a first edition. While the album originally debuted in 1980, this specific version belongs to Capitol’s "Price Busters" budget line, likely manufactured in the late 1980s. This is evidenced by the "C4" catalog prefix and the presence of the Dolby HX Pro logo on the tape shell, which was not standard technology in 1980. Despite being a reissue, it remains a highly collectible piece due to its high-grade professional preservation and the inclusion of the vintage retail hype sticker. 5.
