In 1990, Maiden signed with Epic Records in the US.
Uber rare in-house promo shirt from the time.
The artwork was originally drawn back in 85/86 for a flyer during the PMRC debate/debacle, which resulted in the now legendary senate hearing in which Dee Snider and Frank Zappa defended their rights as musicians and lyricists.
It depicts the main protagonists; US senators Tipper Gore and Paula Hawkins being blasted from the White House by Eddie.
Epic have simply changed Eddie's shirt.
Attached is another in-house sketch drawn to celebrate to deal being inked, also showing Eddie wearing an Epic Records shirt.
