The Lyric Jacket

About Me

What Is The Lyric Jacket? The Lyric Jacket is a 1980s standard issue faded blue cut-off denim jacket in personalised NWOBHM livery. Inside it has been inserted, by means of a needle and thread, a black and white photocopy of the inner lyric sleeve of Iron Maiden's 1982 album The Number Of The Beast. To protect the lyrics from NWOBHM sweat they have been covered with a layer of transparent sticky-back-plastic (Fablon).Where Is The Lyric Jacket? The Lyric Jacket was last seen in Dicko's hands at the Cornwall Coliseum, St Austell on October 4th 1986 at about 10pm. Its current whereabouts are unknown. MyGen Profile Generator

Dave Murray's A Cunt

"Dave Murray's a cunt", said Browning suddenly one morning as we walked up the school drive. "What?" I said, a bit surprised. Murray was my favourite member of Maiden, not least because of his cherubi...
