Soundboard 9.2 - What more can one ask? Heavenly bliss. -
Audience 7.2 - A very desirable early Maiden show because it is one of the better sounding audience recordings. Very few early Maiden shows are well recorded. This one suffers from lack of bottom end but it is rather clear and thus it is sought out by collectors. -
Audience 5.0 - Low fi, but so few good recordings from the early days. The lead work is the clearest sound on this, vocals non-existent. Can appreciate the dual guitars on this even though it is low-fi. -
Audience 7.0 - It is one of the better early Audience recordings. Nice and clear, lots of small club atmosphere. Not too bad ! -
Audience 6.3 - There is music here, buried under time and dust. Understanding that we have a limited number of pre-Bruce era tapes, and that most of those sound horrid, it is suggested one must hunt down the ones that have been mastered like this one. -
Audience 6.0 - Poor recording but it’s all we have. For collectors only. -
Audience 7.0 - Kind of like the Rainbow show, it is clear and one of the other decent early shows from an audience source. Again, not much bottom end here, but you can hear all instruments clearly. -
Volume One: Audience 7.4 - Thankful for these Japanese tapers who had the best gear at the time. Reasonably clear if a little squashed, it nevertheless is way better than 85% of the early Maiden audience recordings. -
Volume Two: Audience 7.6 - Just a touch better than Volume one, suffers from the same limitations but has a slightly more open sound. -
Volume Three: Audience 8.4 - This is best of the tour by far. A great early audience recording it’s clear and open sounding. Yes! -
Iron Maiden - Tour of Japan 1982: (complete set) Volume One: Audience 7.4 - Thankful for these Japanese tapers who had the best gear at the time. Reasonably clear if a little squashed, it nevertheless is way better than 85% of the early Maiden audience recordings. Volume Two: Audience 7.6 - Just a touch better than Volume one, suffers from the same limitations but has a slightly more open sound. Volume Three: Audience 8.4 - This is best of the tour by far. A great early audience recording...it’s clear and open sounding. Yes! -
Audiece 7.0 - Loud and noisy, but Maiden fans know all too well the kind of lo-fi muddy sound most of the early recordings suffer from, that’s why this is welcome. It is not nearly as horrid as most, in fact in places this is actually pretty decent. You do get a great feel of the hall, and the energy level, and even though it is a tad crunchy you do get most of the band. -
Demos 1980: Pro recording 8.2 - Some generations down, loss of bandwidth, but this is just fine and a welcomed bit of Iron Maiden history. Live Friday Rock Show Broadcast 1979: Pro recordings 9.4 - Crisp and bright, excellent! -
Audience 7.0 - Indispensable for the Iron Maiden collector. Is it perfect? No, far from it. This is one of the earliest recorded gigs that you can possibly HEAR. -
Soundboard 9.6 - Darn is this great! ... the mix let’s you hear the lead work in fine detail.
