I need help.

have a signed Fear Of The Dark Live 7" single with 3 signatures on the front of the sleeve.

I can recognize the signatures of Dave Murray and Steve Harris.

But I can't decipher the third one for the life of me (the one on the left side of Eddie's head).

I have a few Dickinson's autographs, and I don't think it's him. It seems like he always uses two separate lines for name and surname.

Considering it was probably signed very fast, I think Adrian Smith could be the best candidate:

When he signed my copy of Powerslave, he just wrote "Adrian".

When was this signed @Cosmiceddie ?

Fond memories, indeed!

I got it in 1998. Steve Harris and Nicko McBrain were being interviewed at a radio station not far from my parent's place. My brother burst into my room to tell me about it. We started fantasizing about going over and saying hi to them. I said "let's just do it! And take our records too!".

So off we went, carrying about 15 records—mostly vinyl, and even a couple of live bootlegs. We were soo naive. On our way to the radio station, full of excitement, we spoke about how crowded it was surely going to be. We didn't think we stood a chance. But we got there... and there was no one waiting! Zero. Just their Spanish driver —very nice bloke. When they got out, Steve and Nicko smiled at us, chatted for a while and signed every single record. Steve even asked us about the live bootlegs and told us he actually collects them—such a sweet fella. They then invited us to the next day's soccer game, where Maiden FC was playing against the Spanish music press, and to an event with the band and media. We went and brought a cassette for Steve containing the bootleg he had asked about (this one). He was really cool, and said he would listen to it on the tour bus. We also got to meet Dave Murray and Blaze. All of them top dudes! We were over the moon...
