Offered here is an authentic early 1974 U.S. Casablanca NB 9001 pressing of the legendary KISS debut LP.
Highlights:
• Original NB 9001 pressing
• NO “KISSIN’ TIME” on the cover or labels
• Side 1 Matrix: NB 9001-60001-1A Bell Sound JOE
• Side 2 Matrix: NB 9001-60002-1AX Bell Sound JOE
• Original Warner Bros. distributed Casablanca labels
• Early Bell Sound mastering with JOE etching
• Original Aucoin-era pressing
Condition:

Vinyl: EX+ visually with outstanding gloss.
Playback:
The record plays beautifully overall. There is one very brief micro-skip lasting only a fraction of a second at one point during playback. I cannot find any visible mark responsible for it, so it may be equipment related, but I want to disclose it for complete transparency. Please purchase with that understanding.
This is a highly collectible early Bell Sound/JOE matrix combination sought after by serious KISS collectors. Copies with the original “No Kissin’ Time” configuration remain among the most desirable U.S. pressings, especially with these early stampers. Matrix information matches documented early Bell Sound/Joe examples discussed by KISS collectors. 
The record will be professionally packed in a premium LP mailer with additional reinforcement to ensure it arrives safely. Buy with confidence from Hail the Grails Records.
