Iron Maiden - Live after Death - Back Patch 1985 (Yellow Version - Upper Copyright)

I have found yet another version of a Maiden back patch 🤘😄🤘 I didn't knew about this one, so I'm very happy to have found it. Especially because this is one of my all time favorite Maiden back patches 🤘😍🤘
This is what I would call the 'yellow 🍌' version. Eddie has much more yellow in his hair, face and body compared to the previous 'blue' version I already have. The blue version seem to be somewhat more common I think.
In the final two pictures you can see the comparison between the versions I have. So far I have a 'yellow' and two 'blue' (upper and bottom copyright) versions. Of these three, the bottom copyright blue versions is much less common.

🤘😁🤘 If there was only one version it would have also been easier for me collecting them 😅 However, I'm happy there are three versions of this one since this is one of my all time favorites 🤘😍🤘

Recently I also made a photo of my Maiden collection so far. That is even more Maiden 🤘😄🤘
You should ask Voidcrew to do the same 😉 That will give you a Maiden overload 🤪

Ik zie het verschil bijna niet xD maar wel sick!

In het echt is het altijd beter natuurlijk 😅, maar er zijn toch zeker verschillen 🧐:
1) Verschill in gele kleur (zie grafsteen)
2) Geel in Eddies gezicht (zie jukbeen en haar)
3) Vlammen in de gele versie hebben geen geel, maar zijn nagenoeg puur oranje.

Vet! Zijn het allemaal verschillende uitgaves uit verschillende jaaren?

Ik durf niet te zeggen of ze uit verschillende jaren komen, maar er zijn zeker verschillende batches gedrukt. Ik kan me voorstellen dat de kleuren van batch tot batch verschillen.
Dit is trouwens nog extremer voor de Killers back patch (zie laatste 3 foto's: https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/iron-maiden-killers-back-patch-1981-versi...). Ik weet niet wat daar gebeurd is, maar daar zijn ze helemaal gek gaan doen 😄😅

Thanks mate! As far as I know this is it regarding the official Live after Death back patches, but who knows...maybe there is a misprint somewhere waiting for me 🤘🤪🤘
