I HAVE FOR AUCTION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAY THE COMPLETE 4 LP SET OF KISS SOLO ALBUMS. EACH ONE COMES COMPLETE IN EVERY WAY, AND ALL OF THE POSTERS AND MERCHANDISE INSERTS ARE IN MINT CONDITION, AS ARE THE INNER SLEEVES

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS SET IS THAT THE SLEEVE CORNERS ARE UNCLIPPED. USUALLY EXPORTS FROM THE USA OF THESE ALBUMS HAVE THE CORNERS CLIPPED ACROSS THE TOP. BUT HERE WE HAVE ALL FOUR IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE SET OF KISS SOLO ALBUMS

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LABELS ARE THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS DESERT SCENE LABELS.

THE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NONE OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RUBBED AWAY, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH COMPLETELY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES, AND THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 2 VERY TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE IS ONE NON SOUNDING LIGHT SCUFF ON SIDE ONE , SI IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE NEAR FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS DISC SOUNDS.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

VINYL IN THE MID SEVENTIES WAS NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THAT OF THE SIXTIES AND EARLY SEVENTIES BECAUSE THE WORLDWIDE OIL SHORTAGE CAUSED MANUFACTURERS TO COST CUT, AND RECORDS BECAME THINNER AND IN SOME CASES SUBSTITUTE VINYL WAS USED LIKE DYNAFLEX. THE RESULT OF THIS WAS THAT MANY COPIES OF ALBUMS OF THIS ERA HAD SOME INBUILT VINYL NOISE

THIS ALBUM HAS ESCAPED VIRTUALLY ALL OF THAT AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. NOTES HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS. THERE IS THE VERY ODD BIT OF VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY DURING THE QUIETEST MOMENTS, AND A FEW TINY DUST POPS HERE AND THERE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN AND STILL HAS A LOVELY SHEEN TO THE SEMI GLOSSY SURFACE. ALL OF THE BLACK HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL AS IT WEARS VERY EASILY. THE IMAGE OF ACE FREHLEY IS ABSOLUTELY UNBLEMISHED

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO BENDS OR FOLDS, AND AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED NONE OF THE CORNERS HAVE BEEN CLIPPED

THERE ARE JUST 2 OF THE MOST MINUSCULE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND ONE TINY DING TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN SIGNS OF RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN SUPERB NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS SHOWING THROUGH

THE SPINE IS VIRTUALLY IMMACULATE. FLAT AND ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED, WITH JUST ONE TINY TINY WHITE FLECK NEAR THE BOTTOM, AND SOME VERY LIGHT WEAR TO THE BOTTOM TIP. ALL OF THE BLUE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT.

THE SUPERB PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE SEAMS ARE ALL PERFECT. NO SPLITS WHATSOEVER. THE SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH BARELY A WRINKLE.

THE POSTER WHICH IS ONE PART OF A 4 PIECE MURAL WHEN ADDED TO THE OTHER THREE, IS IN MINT CONDITION. NOT A BLEMISH ON IT ANYWHERE, AND IT HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE BEST YOU WILL EVER SEE, AND THE MERCHANDISE FLYER IS IN THE SAME STAGGERING CONDITION

A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
