Killer Eddie pic from the back cover of Powerslave LP.
Available in European stores and mail order.
Looks like it was imported to Japan for mail order sales over there as well.
Merch sheet from Japanese BURRN! magazine 1985.
Photo from Euro record store.
Still from Jim'll Fix It TV show, where winner Dom Lawson won the chance to hang with the Maiden road crew at Hammersmith 86. Dom went on to be a well-respected music and newspaper journalist.
Actually, looking at this again, the one I have is the picture of him in the sarcophagus, at an angle. Not straight on like this one. I like this design much better. And my poor shirt was bought back then, and worn all the time. I didnt think back then to preserve it, I was just a fan that wore it all the time lol
I agree, awesome for a tattoo. Maiden ink has been on my to do list for a long time, only what do you choose?? I've seen so many Maiden tatts that just miss the mark somehow, you gotta nail the Eddie expression perfectly with the original pic, otherwise it loses the punch IMO. There's a stack of pics in the Maiden fan club threads of Eddie ink - some crazy good, some not so..
Aside from that, my fave Derek Riggs pic would have to be Live After Death \m/
