This was actually a mistake made at EMI. By the time they realised it and stopped the pressing, 3 to 6 records (depending on the source) had been made.
It is probably the rarest -- and most expensive for collectors! -- single Maiden ever made. Its usual price is around GBP 1,400 [!--emo&

could anyone confirm this? [/quote]
yes, it is right - that is one of the most rarest items from maiden. it has been sold on ebay for 1200 british pounds a few weeks ago.
nobody really knows how many there are exactly out. the brown ones exist due to mistake while pressing the clear one.
this single was official released in clear and red vinyl. and after changing the press from red to clear they just forgot to clean the color tanks. so a few came out with mixed colors as brown vinyl. machine was stopped after a few seconds.
so who can how many singles exactly have been pressed during this time ?

that's taking collecting a little too far isn't it?
what's the big deal if there's a few slightly off in colour......it's still the same single.

A rare dye run of something like the original Soundhouse Tapes I could appreciate but I'm sure I could buy more worthy stuff with $6000 than a common clear vinyl record record with a bit of red dye in it.
Sorry....just my $6000 opinion on it.

The amount of these that were made determine its value. Seeing as there were only about 6 (Some say) Then that means it is going to make it worth more. If only 6 of the soundhouse tapes were made, it would fetch the same price, and would you not buy it then?
