Description
Collectible original US first-year pressing of Kiss’s legendary multi-platinum double-live album, Alive II. Released in 1977 under the iconic Casablanca Records (Catalog No. NBLP-7076-2), this release features the historic original $11.98 price code printed directly on the spine, denoting a true, un-reissued first pressing run.
This specific copy is a verified Columbia Records Santa Maria Pressing, identifiable by the highly sought-after "-SM" deadwax matrix etchings: • Record 1 / Side A: NBLP-7076-AS-SM2 • Record 1 / Side B: NBLP-7076-BS-SM2 • Record 2 / Side C: NBLP-7076-CS-SM3 • Record 2 / Side D: NBLP-7076-DS-SM4
The SM2, SM3, and SM4 master designations prove these records were pressed using early-generation stampers derived from the original analog soundboard and studio master tapes. This ensures the maximum possible low-end punch, roaring crowd depth, and crisp guitar transients. Crucially, this copy includes the rare, original 8-page color "Kiss Evolution" merchandise booklet completely intact.
