We’ve got a new shirt coming for you. It’s been a while, and this design has sat in the Black City archive for some time with many a request for it to adorn a shirt… well, here it is.

We have a preorder for them up now, with longsleeve, tote bag and die hard variants strictly limited again to preorder as per standard. If you want any of those versions make sure you preorder, as no additional will be made!

As it’s all about this week as Iron Maiden take on Knebworth Park, take a look at this gem which made its way through our hands. Bought as part of a collection this original copy of ‘The Soundhouse Tapes’ was signed sometime around mid-1980.
