Winning Bid: $360.00
Fixed Price
Seller’s Comments: For sale is a new, rare, and never opened copy of Iron Maiden’s Best of the Beast 4LP Box Set. This was released by Castle records, as can be seen via the UPC sticker on the back. Some of the the shrink wrap has been torn, but that is the condition it was in when I bought this years ago. The photos will show how much has been torn, and they do shown that there is a seal still intact, indicating that it has never been opened. Information on the track listings can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_of_the_Beast Included with this set is a hard cover book, “Best of the Beast.” The book contains fantastic photos of the band, cover and tour art, tour notes, lyrics and many other interesting features.
