Favorite Vinyl Boot?
Dave
old vinyl boots. I was just wondering what favorites people have out
there.
One of my favorites is called "Drifter". It's a 2 record set from the
Piece of Mind tour. It includes the whole concert and a killer live
version of To Tame A Land. The cover looks like the Number of the Beast
single.
I'd love to hear what people have out there.

My three most memorable ones are:
Killers(double lp) Tokyo 5-24-81 - very good, sounds better than the
Maiden Japan EP which was taped on the same tour. Bizarrely it has a
red sleeve with a silver running free cover on the front and a silver
band pic(w/Bruce) on the back.
Live Concert(double lp) Manchester 4-3-82 - this is the most bizarre
of all the ones I own. Supposedly it's a Bruce audition(all songs are
Di'anno era). The problem is the speed of the pressing is way off and
it sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks on speed, I've yet to find a
turntable adjustable enough to slow it down enough but I listened to
it quite a few times.
World Piece Tour '83(double lp) London 5-26-83 - my favorite of all of
mine, very good quality. Only downside is that To Tame a Land is not
on it(sort of like Rainbow's On Stage did not include Stargazer).
This used one of the tour shirt designs(Eddie opening the Earth
exposing a brain) that was also used on a double CD bootleg - 10 years
old Eddie's Boys World Piece tour '83 which has the same recording
date(and includes To Tame a Land on volume 1 which is don't have).
I wasn't able to get my hands on the Dortmund show(green vinyl 10")
for the only pressings I've seen which had great sound(I did get a
tape of it from someone who got one).

Wow, I love that one. Don't have it though. A friend of mine bought that at
a record convention about 12 years ago. He and I both still collect Maiden
and we have a friendly competition. That's one he really has over on me. As
long as he has it, at least I have a tape.

Yeah, this one's real cool if you can slow it down to the right speed.
Dickinson doing all Di'anno songs, real cool!

I haven't played that one in a long time, I'll give it a spin.
