THIS IS THE VERY RARE FIRST ISSUE WITH “ESCAPE FROM THE ISLAND” LISTED ON THE BACK COVER. THIS IS A GREAT COPY WITH NO WRITING ON THE JACKET OR LABELS AND THE VINYL IS VERY CLEAN. CLEAN SPINDLE HOLES SHOW HOW LITTLE IT WAS PLAYED AND THAT IT WAS HANDLED WITH CARE. AS A WORK OF ART THIS IS A GREAT RECORD. LOU REED WORKED WITH THEM ON IT AND HAS THREE SONGWRITING CREDITS.
From a review.....
“A funny thing has happened in the years since The Elder was first dismissed as a bomb... it began to cultivate a small but dedicated cult following. There are even some fans who consider it KISS' best album. Throughout the '80s and into the '90s the band perpetually ignored The Elder in live sets and preferred not to discuss it in interviews (if pressed, they'd call it "an OK album," but stress that it was "not classic KISS"), but in 1995 they finally threw Elder fans a bone by performing "A World Without Heroes" during their historic MTV Unplugged set - the first time the album had ever been acknowledged in a concert setting.
The album's small but dedicated Star Trek style following has only grown over the years, and their love for The Elder has manifested itself in a 1998 comic book adaptation, in fan fiction and maybe, just maybe... on the silver screen. In 2011, a British KISS fan, author and musician named Seb Hunter announced that he had written a screenplay based on the album's story and set up a web site to solicit donations from fans in the hopes of producing a film version. Hunter has apparently finished the first draft of the film's script and he's looking for a producer to turn it into reality. Time will tell if Seb's ambitious idea ever makes it to the multiplex, but it proves that even three decades after its release, Music From "The Elder" continues to intrigue, fascinate and divide the loyal members of the KISS Army.”
