I managed to get my hands on the 2nd version of the ugliest Maiden back patch...the infamous X-factor 🤘🤢🤘. Also this version is ugly as hell 🤘🤮🤘 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.

Thanks mate! I put them safely in my patch portfolios so that nobody has to see these atrocities 🤪

I remember when I first got in to Maiden, I went through every album they released, I remember seeing this artwork and thinking “Who in the hell thought of this ugly ass artwork?” 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 🤘😫🤘 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.

Thanks Frank 🤘 I'm sure that one day you will get yourself one. Not so easy to find as you know.
You now told us your second favorite Maiden album, but what is your favorite Maiden album?😉

Love the record but yeah the album artwork is not the best .
The " man on the edge " artwork is much better i think.

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.
