Running Free/ Sanctuary

This great Iron Maiden tune, as was the case for all this U.K. metal band's 45s, was not released on 45 rpm in the U.S. until this 2014 "reissue." The studio version was the band's first U.K. release, but this 1985 live version was an even bigger hit over there. The group were wildly popular in the U.K. but never gained a significant radio presence in the U.S. As the sticker on these brand new copies indicates, this is a part of a "Limited Edition 7" Series" (2,500 copies) that features the "Original 7" Art and Audio Masters... 1st Time Officially Available in the U.S." Like the U.K. release, this U.S. 7-inch has a small spindle hole.
