KISS - "Creatures of the Night - 1982 Vinyl LP "I Love it Loud" -First Press-

$

80

In 1982, at the tender age of 11, I was hired for my first official job at a local cemetery where I mowed the grass and dug graves.  I recall my parents getting MTV on cable that same year.  I relaxed after a  long day working by watching the new video music channel.  The "I love it loud" video rolled out one afternoon and I immediately asked my Mom to drive me to the local Caldor, at the Fairfield Mall in Chicopee, to buy this record.  With some of my first earnings, at that visit, I purchased:  "Creatures of the Night", Olivia Newton John's "Greatest Hits Volume 2", and Pat Benatar's "Get Nervous".  I have struggled to list this record because it brings back so many memories.  I actually still listen to it, but it is time to find it a new home.  I really need to scale down.  Besides, every time I am blasting that record my wife just stares at me with utter disappointment.  My guess...she is not a Kiss fan.

LP = "VG+" Sleeve = "VG+" Inner Sleeve is split at all seams.

When differences occur I will do my best to resolve any differences in opinion.  

M (Mint): Never been played or item still sealed. Cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster (ie contents) are in perfect condition.

Nm (Near Mint): In brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and contents nearly perfect.

Ex (Excellent): Shows some signs of being played, light marks, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Better than Very Good: Obviously been played but no significant deterioration in sound quality despite some surface marks and light scratches. Some wear and tear on cover and contents, as in corner/edge/ring wear, without any major defects though.

VG (Very Good): Obviously been played many times but no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear and tear on cover or contents, without any major defects.

Gd+ (Good Plus): Better than Good: Sound quality has deteriorated but with no distortion. Some scratches and occasional more noticeable scratches that can be felt. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges but not spine splits or discolouration.

Gd (Good): Sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion. Mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.

F (Fair): Still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise - it may even jump. Cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

P (Poor): Will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. Cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Records are thoughtfully shipped in LP shipping boxes with cardboard inserts.  LP will be removed from cover and placed in a polyethylene outer sleeve before shipping for best protection.
