The Holy Grail of NWOBHM History.

Own the definitive 1980 debut that ignited the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. This is the original UK first pressing (EMI EMC 3330), a must-have for serious collectors and "Up the Irons" purists. Unlike later reissues, this pressing delivers the raw, ferocious energy of the Paul Di'Anno era exactly as it was meant to be heard.

Why This Pressing is Essential:

The Full "Phantom Of The Opera": This rare first press includes the complete 7:20 version of the track, featuring a unique coda/reprise separated by seconds of silence - a detail missing from almost every other vinyl version.
Authentic A1/B1 Matrices: To verify its pedigree, look for the EMC 3330 A-1 / B-1 stamped matrix numbers in the runout, signifying the earliest possible cut from the original master tapes.
Original Label & Sleeve: Features the classic picture labels with credits on two lines and no ℗ symbol on the bottom of the labels - the hallmark of the true first batch.
Exclusive Tracklist: This original UK release features the tight, 8-track sequence (opening with "Prowler") before "Sanctuary" was added to later North American versions.
Don't settle for a remaster. Secure the raw power of Eddie's first appearance on wax.
