UK

Cassette label design -- the NOT FOR RENTAL / Castle Communications label is the one Discogs shows for 3980903; 13614495's label is a different, typewriter-style design. This is what separates the two.

Why this grade

CMV 1136 and PAL COLOUR are printed on the spine and the cassette label, and the owner's typed note (CMV 1136) says the same. Two UK releases in the version list carry that number, 13614495 and 3980903, both CMV (2), PAL, 1989, with identical list fields. Their cassette labels on Discogs are different, and that decides it. This copy's label (IMG_3915) reads CMV1136 IRON MAIDEN - MAIDEN ENGLAND, (c) 1989 EMI RECORDS LIMITED, FOR PRIVATE AND DOMESTIC USE ONLY, NOT FOR RENTAL and A CASTLE COMMUNICATIONS PLC RELEASE -- the label in the Discogs image for 3980903, line for line. The label in the Discogs image for 13614495 is a different design: typewriter-style text, 96 Mins Approx., a copyright paragraph and no NOT FOR RENTAL line. The owner made the same comparison on 2026-10-06 and reached the same answer. Standing caveat: the version list is incomplete by construction, so an uncatalogued issue cannot be ruled out.

What the record says

Every line below was read off a native-resolution crop of the photograph named beside it.

Every line of small print, and the photograph it came from — 7 of them

Cassette label against Discogs: the label in the 3980903 image carries the same lines and layout (NOT FOR RENTAL in large type under FOR PRIVATE AND DOMESTIC USE ONLY, CMV and PMI logos on the left); the label in the 13614495 image is a different typewriter-style design with 96 Mins Approx. and no rental line

Cassette shell, back edge: a small scalloped-edge sticker with only faint, unreadable marks. Nothing on it can be read, so it is not used

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Slip case - clear-edged VHS sleeve, standard Iron Maiden Maiden England front artwork, black rear with the track list and a white CMV logo panel at the lower right.
  • Cassette - black shell with a white paper label reading NOT FOR RENTAL; a scalloped sticker on the back edge is too faded to read.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • Cassette label design -- the NOT FOR RENTAL / Castle Communications label is the one Discogs shows for 3980903; 13614495's label is a different, typewriter-style design. This is what separates the two.
  • CMV 1136 is the catalogue number on the spine and the cassette label, and matches the two UK CMV (2) rows in the version list (13614495 and 3980903).
  • PAL COLOUR on the spine agrees with the PAL standard listed for both candidates and rules out the NTSC and SECAM rows.
  • The sleeve credits A Picture Music International Release and the label A CASTLE COMMUNICATIONS PLC RELEASE; the list's own CMV (2) label is consistent with that but is not a discriminator, because both candidates carry it.

Filmed at Birmingham N.E.C. on 27 and 28 November 1988, during the Seventh Tour Of A Seventh Tour -- Iron Maiden's own back-sleeve text calls it "a personal fans-eye view of Maiden at their bombastic best". Running time 95 minutes. The release credits no performing line-up.

Production credits are sourced from Discogs release 871017, the UK VHS and this master's main release, and apply to the film rather than to this copy. Where this copy's own sleeve or shell carries the publisher or copyright lines, they are quoted in the evidence above.

Condition, from the photographs

A photograph cannot grade a record - this is a description of what is visible, not a grade.

  • Sleeve: general handling wear with some edge and corner softening; no splits or seam separation visible in these shots.
  • Shell/tape: the cassette shell shows light handling wear. No visible cracking, warping or tape spillage in these photographs. The tape has not been played through in these shots, so its condition past the visible shell is unverified.

Nothing on this page comes from playing the record. No Goldmine grade is claimed for it, or any other. I have no record of where this copy came from.

What is settled, and what is not

Confirmed as 3980903. Both UK CMV 1136 rows share every field in the version list, but not their cassette label: this copy's label matches the one Discogs shows for 3980903 (NOT FOR RENTAL, Castle Communications), not the typewriter-style label shown for 13614495.
