Yet Another Rare Maiden Record Sold
After last week's sale of the famous 'Twilight Zone' brown vinyl, another highly sought-after item for collectors was settled for yet another record price.The '2 Minutes to Midnight' Japanese 7'' promo is considered by some the ultimate collector item to possess and maybe the rarest one. It has been sold on eBay for the price of 4050 USD !
Troopersounds.com says it's the rarest Maiden record in the world. Of the five Japanese vinyl promo 7’’ this is by far the most sought after. Only issued as a promo this will easily set you back over £1000. Pressed in a very strict run, there are not many copies in existence.

Does everyone think these were originals? After all whats the chances of owning both unless you're a mad collector?
Had the same doubts (I thought they were NO sleeves for the brown vinyls for instance). Thing is the seller has a good reputation on eBay, so...
Cheers
