Another one was issued in limited numbers for some copies, which shows “the album discography of Kiss” and “album covers of other artists belonging to Casablanca Japan in those days”. Enclosed postcard is for promotional use only. It’s hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX+/NM- ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, top & lightly other outer edges. Light ring-wear is in part on the front, back & inside gate-fold. Some white stain-marks are on the rims of outside, as usual with foil cover. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC 1: Disc 1 is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A tiny “bump” like a dot is on Side B-2 which doesn’t affect the sound. It seems as “misprint”, which was made in the factory when pressed. There are a few to several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". No flaw on the groove of Side A and mostly on Side A…clean disc, we guarantee you.

DISC 2: Disc 2 is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few to several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being stained with brown spots on the surface of back side.

INSERT: EX- ( white ) / EX- ( white & blue ), being slightly tanned on the surface of each side.

POSTCARD: VG, being slightly tanned on the surface of each side, while being creased along upper right-rim.
