Killers

Iron Maiden’s Killers, presented here as an unofficial 2008 picture-disc LP issue on EMI, catalog EMC 3357-P, revisits the band’s 1981 album in a collectible visual format. This is a single 33 1/3 RPM vinyl record, not a first pressing, with the record graded very good in the provided condition notes.

The front of the picture disc carries the classic Killers imagery: the red-and-white Iron Maiden logo above Eddie in a rain-dark urban scene, axe in hand, with the album title rendered in jagged red script. The reverse side shifts into a fiery concert montage, with stage lights, crowd silhouettes, band photos, credits, EMI Records Ltd. markings, and the printed track list including “The Ides of March,” “Wrathchild,” “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “Another Life,” “Genghis Khan,” “Innocent Exile,” “Killers,” “Prodigal Son,” “Purgatory,” and “Drifter.”

The disc is shown against a vivid red sleeve or backer, which displays visible handling wear, including rubbing along edges and a small area of paper loss near the upper-left corner. Produced by Martin Birch, Killers stands as a key early document of Iron Maiden’s Paul Di’Anno-era sound, here preserved in an unofficial picture-disc form suited to collectors of heavy metal variants and display-focused pressings.
