ARTIST:  KISS

TITLE:   "Dressed To Kill" vinyl LP.

DESCRIPTION:   This is the third album from New York's glammest band released in April 1975, peaking at No. 32 on the Billboard charts, and is the CANADIAN issue.  It is still SEALED and UNOPENED.  By the release of their third album, 1975's Dressed to Kill, Kiss were fast becoming America's top rock concert attraction, yet their record sales up to this point did not reflect their ticket sales. Casablanca label head Neil Bogart decided to take matters into his own hands, and produced the new record along with the band. The result is more vibrant sounding than its predecessor, 1974's sludgefest Hotter Than Hell, and the songs have more of an obvious pop edge to them. The best-known song on the album by far is the party anthem "Rock and Roll All Nite," but it was the track "C'Mon and Love Me" that became a regional hit in the Detroit area, giving the band their first taste of radio success. Since the band was on the road for a year straight, songs such as "Room Service" and "Ladies in Waiting" dealt with life on the road (i.e., groupies), and a pair of songs were reworked from Kiss' precursor band, Wicked Lester ("Love Her All I Can" and "She"). With Dressed to Kill's Top 40 showing on the Billboard charts, the stage was now set for Kiss' big commercial breakthrough with their next release.

EXCELLENT:  The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD:  The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.  Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items , without any major defects, is acceptable.
