This is Kiss Alive 2, a record I probably played more than any other in my life. I seriously wore out side 4 of my copy and looked at the cover so much, it is soft like a pillow now – but that is not the one we are talking about here. This one, is still in the shrink, and from all indications looks like it is has rarely, if ever been played.
The Shrink is opened, and hype stickers and price tag on front – the gatefold of this has NEVER been opened. The booklet inside should be great, but some kind of moisture-kinda-thing got under the shrink a bit and into the opening -I did not try to clean it out, because I don’t want to tear the shrink.
I did see, the original inners were not here (I know them very well indeed) so I put the records in plain white paper inners, and will keep them out of the sleeve – I put them in a plastic 3ml outer.
This is in rare shape for this record – I am tempted to replace mine, but I don’t mind all the misuse and marks mine has, because I have had this record since it was released, and played it like it was my job for about 4 years, growing up. I don’t care what anyone says about this record, it is one my faves – and this copy, is weird, but cool and preserved in a starge way that should give you a lot of the original stuff I loved so much. At $4.99 and corner cut, you can guess this was from the later times when it was easy to hate them…not that I EVER got there myself.
Let me know if you need to see more – click any image to zoom. I show the covers, a look at the inner stuff (it is all there), and the label – trust me, all of the labels are perfect, and have zero indication of ever being on a turntable.
