9. Iron Maiden – Best of the Beast LP box set
21 bids
Sold: $301.00
Seller’s comments: This is the long out-of-print and extremely rare 1996 EMI Records (UK) FOUR VINYL LP pressing of Iron Maiden’s legendary “greatest hits” box set, Best of the Beast ! Includes a massive hard-cover book! — The vinyl is unplayed and this set is brand new! This box set is the UK version. It was never shrinkwrapped. They just don’t usually do that in the UK/Europe. The only time I ever took anything out of the box was to take the photos for this auction. There are very minor flaws on the top seams of a couple of the inner sleeves (each LP is in both an inner and outer sleeve). Don’t miss your chance to own this awesome box set!
