Why this grade
UK EMI double pack, part X of The First Ten Years. The back sleeve carries IRN 10 over 79 4006 1 with barcode 0 077779 400416, and its print block reads Sleeve printed in England / Manufactured in England SP9004JU; the two records' labels read IRN 101 / IRN 101A / IRN 101B (The Clairvoyant disc) and IRN 102 / IRN 102A / IRN 102B (Infinite Dreams disc), each with the EMI box and EMI Records Ltd copyright lines. Of the four vinyl rows on the master only 2251476 carries IRN 10, 79 4006 1, IRN 101, IRN 102; the European row 4206523 is a 198-7-94004 1 45 RPM maxi-single number that appears nowhere on this copy, the Italian row 4524326 is 2-52 7940041, and the South Korean IRN 10 row 10409405 is an unofficial pressing listed with no label, which the EMI-logo labels and the Manufactured in England print block rule out. All four run-outs were photographed and read IRN 101 A-1-1-1 / IRN 101 B-1-1-1 / IRN 102 XXX A-1-1-1 / IRN 102 B-1-1-1, with a stamped Penthouse photographed on three of the four sides (record two side B has no Penthouse frame). The XXX on record two side A is a scratched-out group of three characters ahead of A-1-1-1, and the stroke through the 1 of 101 on record one side B is a cutting-lathe correction, not a different number. The grade stops at Probable rather than Confirmed because no release JSON for 2251476 is cached, so the photographed run-outs could not be compared with the matrix Discogs records for it; the catalogue number and country match one row, and nothing else was cross-checked. The owner's note agrees with the photographs on the barcode, the sleeve number and all four run-outs (its A1(xxx) is the scratched-out group read here as XXX) and decided nothing the photographs did not already show. The version list is never complete, so an uncatalogued UK variant cannot be ruled out.

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

Double pack sleeve with The Clairvoyant on the front and Infinite Dreams on the back, The First Ten Years roundel on the front and a red MAIDEN ENGLAND stamp on the back. Light corner and edge wear; the top edge shows a small nick near the right corner.
Two black vinyl 12" records, one per single, each with the grey Eddie-under-the-streetlamp labels, red Iron Maiden logo and orange EMI box.
No inner sleeves, inserts or stickers are visible in the photographs.

What distinguishes this pressing

Labels numbered IRN 101 and IRN 102 with the EMI box: the only vinyl row on the master carrying those numbers is the UK 2251476.
Manufactured in England SP9004JU on the back sleeve, against the unofficial South Korean IRN 10 row 10409405, which is listed with no label.
No 198-7-94004 1 family number anywhere on sleeve or labels, which is what the European 45 RPM row 4206523 carries; the labels and sleeve name no speed, and the Italian row 4524326 is 2-52 7940041.
Stamped run-outs IRN 101 A-1-1-1 / IRN 101 B-1-1-1 / IRN 102 XXX A-1-1-1 / IRN 102 B-1-1-1 with Penthouse on three photographed sides, recorded here for comparison once 2251476's matrix fields are to hand.

D3Listen With Nicko! Part X

The Clairvoyant, The Prisoner and Heaven Can Wait were recorded live at the Monsters Of Rock festival, Donington Park, on 20 August 1988, produced by Martin Birch and Tony Wilson for the BBC, engineered by Dave Dade. Infinite Dreams, Killers and Still Life were recorded live at the Birmingham NEC on 27 and 28 November 1988, produced, mixed and engineered by Martin Birch. Discogs lists no producer for Listen With Nicko! Part X on this release.

Credits are sourced from Discogs release 383871, the UK CD IRN 10, and apply to the recording rather than to this pressing; the UK double 12" is release 2251476 (IRN 10). Where this copy's own packaging carries the producer, 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.
Vinyl: light surface marks and handling sheen catch the light. No visible deep scratches, warping or edge damage in these photographs. The labels are clean and unmarked.

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

One UK row fits and nothing contradicts it, but the run-out was never compared with what Discogs records for 2251476 because that release's JSON is not cached. Fetching release 2251476 and checking its Matrix / Runout fields against IRN 101 A-1-1-1 Penthouse and the other three sides is what would lift this from Probable to Confirmed. Standing caveat: the method cannot exclude a pressing absent from Discogs.
