KISS – Alive II (1977) – Version 3 UNION FLAG – DOUBLE MISPRINT – NM Vinyl – COMPLETE Inserts – Ultra Rare Variant

Up for sale is an absolute grail-level KISS collectible: a true Version 3 DOUBLE MISPRINT Alive II featuring the super-rare Union Flag back cover, full original inserts, and near mint vinyl.

This is one of the hardest-to-find Alive II variants, combining BOTH major misprints and the international union flag manufacturing error — only found on a very limited run. These almost never show up complete and in this condition.

🔥 RARE VERSION / MISPRINT DETAILS

This is the Version 3 misprint, which includes:

   •   Double Misprint Sequence

      •   Back cover shows erroneous titles and incorrect live track sequence

      •   Inner gatefold also shows incorrect title ordering

      •   Only produced briefly before corrections were made

   •   UNION FLAG Back Cover Variant

      •   Extremely rare; the U.S. distribution version mistakenly printed with the UK/International “Union Flag” icon

      •   Highly sought after by serious Alive II & misprint collectors

This combination makes it one of the top-tier Alive II rarities, far above standard misprints.
