I have a damaged copy of Maiden Japan on vinyl, and have been looking
for it on CD since the days CD's were invented. I have not found any
US release, are there any others? English, German, Japan ?

It's available as the Bonus CD of the *US* (not European/japanese)
re-edition of Killers.

You can find the Maiden Japan tracks on the "First Ten Years"
collection, disc 3. Unfortunately, these are also quite
difficult to find.

Disc 7 has some live stuff from the Live After Death concerts too,
including Phantom Of The Opera

The bonus cd on the Castle re-release has Maiden Japan as well as the tracks
from the Women in Uniform E.P.!! It's a great score if you can find it,
it's the only 2 disc Castle re-release that I was able to acquire. I have
several of the the Castle Single disc releases with the picture cd's but no
bonus cd's.

"Maiden Japan" was also released on CD as part of the "Purgatory" single
from "The First Ten Years" collection. It's missing "Wrathchild" though.
Nicko gives some insight on the release in the "Listening With Nicko"
section.

Yes,Maiden in Japan is on the bonus disc of Castles re-release of
Killers. Tracks 4,5,7,8 and track 6 was on the U.S. release of Maiden in
Japan. And by the way I have Iron Maiden, Killers, Powerslave, Seventh
Son of A Seventh Son and No Prayer For The Dying, with bonus discs. Does
anyone have a clue as to where I could get the rest. I think it only
went up to Fear of the Dark, CD. Any information would be helpful.

You can purchase a copy on Ebay. I purchased a brand new sealed copy that sounds incredible.

There is also a bootleg version that has the entire concert, although I
think it might actually be the different night from the one that Maiden
Japan was taken from.

I've got that bootleg. Purports to be a promo release for Japanese fans. Sounds gets bad at a couple of points, completely dropping out at least once. But from memory it's pretty good overall other than a couple of songs. Nice to have something full length from that era even if it is a less than perfect bootleg. But definitely not any sort of official release or fan club release.

The 1995 US bonus disc on Killers had several of the tracks on it
