KISS Alive! 2-LP — eBay DescriptionKISS – Alive! 2-LP Vinyl Record Set – 1976 U.S. Casablanca NBLP 7020 – Camel Labels – Original BookletOffered here is a vintage KISS Alive! 2-record set, the landmark 1975 live album originally released by Casablanca Records.

These booklets are an important part of the original package and are often missing from used copies.Track ListingRecord 1 – Side 1* Deuce* Strutter* Got to Choose* Hotter Than Hell* FirehouseSide 2* Nothin’ to Lose* C’mon and Love Me* Parasite* She* Watchin’ YouRecord 2 – Side 3* 100,000 Years* Black DiamondSide 4* Rock and Roll All Nite* Let Me Go, Rock ’N RollConditionVinyl: VG+ visually – both records have glossy surfaces with some fine hairlines/light surface marks visible under strong lighting from normal handling and storage. I have not represented these records as play-graded, so please consider the photos carefully.Gatefold Jacket: Vintage condition with expected edge, corner and surface wear consistent with its age. Still displays the classic Alive! artwork very well.Booklet: Included and appears complete, with vintage handling/storage wear.Please examine all photographs carefully as they are an important part of the condition description.Collector NotesThis is a great example of the classic Casablanca-era KISS Alive! package, complete with the original booklet and Camel/Desert Casablanca labels. The album itself dates to the original 1975 KISS Alive! release, while this particular Camel-label configuration is associated with the 1976 U.S. pressing.Please note: I am not calling this a 1975 first pressing because the visible Camel labels distinguish it from the earlier blue Bogart-label copies. The exact pressing plant/mastering variant would require clear examination of all four runout/matrix inscriptions.A desirable vintage KISS collectible for KISS fans, classic-rock collectors, vinyl enthusiasts, and collectors of original Casablanca Records releases. Condition: Used. Category: Music › Vinyl Records.
