First Japanese edition of the iconic "The Number Of The Beast" by Iron Maiden, here in the sought-after variant with matte OBI ("Matte Obi") without poster indication, but with telephone number on the top of the back of the OBI and UK fanclub information in the insert.

Released in 1982 by Toshiba EMI (catalog EMS-91034), this specific version is one of four known variants of the first Japanese pressing and is particularly interesting for collectors attentive to pressing and packaging differences.

Includes:

  • Original "Matte" OBI (no poster indication, with telephone number on the back)
