I have the five track [International] 12" vinyl version of this live Iron 
Maiden EP... it does have great sound - from a Maiden gig in Japan in May 
1981 - and it's one of the best metal records of all time. The official 
versions are easy enough to find, the promo CD maybe not so much so. As 
CD's were not around when "Maiden Japan" was originally released in 1981 
so your CD was a much later release.
