I managed to get my hands on the 2nd version of the ugliest Maiden back patch...the infamous X-factor ๐ค๐คข๐ค. Also this version is ugly as hell ๐ค๐คฎ๐ค The back patch is unused but has a 2 cm cut in the bottom part. Despite it ugliness it deserves a place in my collection.

I remember when I first got in to Maiden, I went through every album they released, I remember seeing this artwork and thinking โWho in the hell thought of this ugly ass artwork?โ It turned out being not to bad to listen too and is probably one of my favorite Iron Maiden album cover artwork now! Very nice back patch bro, wish I had one...

Thanks mate. I find this Eddie the ugliest of all, but the album is very nice! Most notably, The Sign of the Cross ๐ค๐ซ๐ค what an absolute banger that is for me. The first time I heard it on Rock in Rio is was amazed and two years ago I saw the song during the Legacy of the Beast tour. Such an awesome concert that was, with an incredible setlist.

Love the record but yeah the album artwork is not the best .
The " man on the edge " artwork is much better i think.
Heavy Metal Chemist on
I agree that Man on the Edge would be better, but I would have loved Derek Riggs artwork for the Sign of the Cross. I'm sure he would have made something iconic out of that.
