Iron Maiden, Manchester 2023: the physical release in hand

My rating what's this?

Step 1 of 4. What you're looking at

This is a bootleg, not the official live album. The actual night itself, recorded from inside the crowd, with the mistakes and the roar left in. This is the concert as it really sounded, before anyone cleaned it up.

The rating

The rating is mine, and it is the only quality mark here. The number from 1 to 10 next to a recording is my own listening judgement: how much I enjoy putting it on, everything weighed together.

I do not hand out an "objective" grade, because nobody can grade a live recording objectively. One collector's ears are not another's.

A tape can be clean and still rate lower if it leaves me cold, or rate high in spite of its flaws because it captures the night. Higher means I reach for it more often.

Take it as one ear, then trust your own.

About these releases

The disc you see in these photos is burned by me and the cover is printed by me, by hand. Each one is a single copy for my own shelf, put together while I catalogue the collection.

This is not a label, and nothing here is a product. Nothing is for sale and nothing is for trade.

If a release looks finished, that is just the fun of the craft. Please do not write asking for a copy. I make them for no one but myself.
