In honor of Adrian Smith's birthday I bring you an offering of Smith's pre-Iron Maiden material. It's funny to think that Smith had a musical career before forming such a legendary band. Urchin was Smith's band before Maiden. This band rules. This 7" came out in 1978 and could definitely fit into Maidens early catalogue. 'Black Leather Fantasy' even has moments where it sounds a bit like early Priest, before going into the classic Maiden hyperdrive we all love.
(Special thanks to the Cosmic Hearse for turning me on to this gem)
