Hi,
announced on the famous japanese Tarantura label, the first Maiden gig in Tokyo, May 21, 1981 on 2CDs.
For newbies and others, Tarantura is mainly known for ultra high expensive releases on silver CDs, limited to 50 to 250 copies, sometimes in various editions. After focussing on Led Zeppelin bootlegs, they seemed to have recently purchased a lot of old tapes of japanese shows since the 70's. Sometimes this is not from the master, but from a low generation tape.
This is the first Iron Maiden release on that label, and this is called "Maiden Japan Vol 1".
In the past Tarantura made a few dating errors, but i'm pretty sure that this is really the first japanese gig (and the first Tokyo show), still unsurfaced (at least i don't know any known trader/taper with it).
In the last years, Langley (japanese CDR label) released a 2CDR of the common Tokyo (second gig, May 24) radiobroadcast, BUT with the missing last encore from an audience recording.
Maybe the "Maiden Japan Vol 2" will be the complete audience recording of May 24 gig (the radiobroadcast is edited, and missing the intro).

I will receive the Tarantura set from Japan when it will be released, and will probably torrent it (or Sousourn will do it) on dimeadozen.
If anyone has any news about the japanese recordings, don't hesitate to inform us
See You
