KISS The Originals 2nd Printing 1976 All Inserts

$

31

Very rare 2nd printing in 1976 of the infamous 3-record compilation package of "THE ORIGINALS - KISS" on Casablanca Record and Filmworks label.  Contains debut "KISS" album, the 2nd "Hotter Than Hell" and the 3rd "Dressed to Kill".  All 3 vinyls in very good condition, although the 1st one has some kind of distress mark over one song on both sides that makes those 2 songs unplayable.  A blemish of some kind, I have no idea how it got there.  This record (NBLP 7032) can easily be replaced with another so it really doesn't affect the whole package's worth.  All 3 are in the shinier paper sleeve covers than the 1st printing, as most are, but clean and NO tape marks anywhere.  The foldout flame cover is in good to very good condition with the average edge wear of a 33-year old classic.  Now for the inserts, they are all in SPECTACULAR condition!  The card set is perfect, looks brand new, the album-sized booklet is perfect.  The KISS Army sticker is all there and as perfect as it can get although the outer yellow part of the "Army" logo has lost its "stickiness".  The 2003 Rockin' Records Price Guide says "The Originals" with all inserts is worth $75 - $80!  6 years later it should be worth more, but I'm selling my (overall B-grade) set at a super low starting bid with no reserve.

ATTENTION POTENTIAL BIDDERS: NikkeDiamondzzz has been a very reputable seller on eBay since 2000 and buying since 1999.  We are not a company but a very busy couple who've been doing this on the side for almost 10 years.  We're far out in the hills of Tennessee and get to the Post Office maybe once every week or 2, depending on the package load.   So, PLEASE ALLOW US 2-3 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY.  It'll get there, packed very well and all.  However, we have no control over the United States Post Office like many of you think.  Our feedback rating and comments say it all.  Of course we will get the eventual problem child.  There are very impatient and trouble making people out there and there is no reasoning with these people.  If that's you, then please don't bid on our items.  Go someplace else.  Don't hassle it.  We want PEACE.  If a problem arises let's try to work it out.  Communication is the key.  Don't give us negative feedback before we get a chance to talk!  (as a couple have before).  E-mail us and we'll give you the status of an item.  Patience people.  Sometimes it might get to you earlier than 2 weeks.  It just depends on everything from weather and flat tires to sickness and family matters.  Let's all just try to get along.  Patience, communication and most of all BE COOL.  Let's all be Little Fonzies.

There is a mistake in the description.  A line was left out regarding the album sleeves.  The line that says "All 3 are in the shinier paper sleeve covers than the 1st printing, as most are, but clean and NO tape marks anywhere." It should say:

All 3 are in the shinier paper sleeve covers than the 1st printing.  The sleeves are split a bit at the seams as most are but clean and NO tape marks anywhere.

Thank you!
