Maiden's first official tour shirt. The Metal for Muthas tour in February 1980 featured a number of artists who recorded tracks for the compilation album of the same name.
Also available as a black sweatshirt:
Keith Wilfort in Feb 1980 debating whether to work for Maiden full time or stay at British Telecom - many thanks to Keith for permission to use this photo :)
Band pin up from UK mag 'Jackie' early 1980.
1980 phot shoot.
Top of the Pops appearance 1980.
On the UK tour.
ah, that's so awesome.... too bad most of those old shirts are so small; even if you can get your hands on some these days, fat bastards like me can't wear them hahaha 666 flames of course !!!!
That shirt must be the rarest one I ve ever seen.
Really a piece of heavy metal history.
For those who don't know Metal for Muthas was a 1980 NWOBHM compilation with early recordings of Iron Maiden (released 3 months before the Iron Maiden album), Praying Mantis, Sledgehammer, Angel Witch, Samson etc reaching no12 on UK charts. Now u take a look at the charts in the UK and u wanna kill yourself and all those who promote that crap.
