Original 1st US RCA Club Edition factory sealed copy of the Kiss’ 4th studio album released on March 15, 1976 coming with the official unused 1976 vintage Casablanca Records 5” x 5” sticker promoting the album. “Destroyer” was the Kiss’ 2nd album after “Alive!” to be certified gold by the RIAA and the 1st one to be certified platinum. This factory sealed copy manufactured by RCA Music Service, Indianapolis, Ind. under license whose number “R 124001” is indicated in the lower left-hand corner of the back cover. Original 1st print cardboard cover contains an ultra-rare silver-foil 2.5” round hype sticker affixed to the shrink wrap in the top right-hand corner on the front reading "Including the hit singles "SHOUT IT OUT LOUD" "FLAMING YOUTH" NBLP 7025".  I’ll dare to assume that this sticker was affixed to the very early pressings and possibly, this copy contains the 1st print blue Casablanca Records “Bogart” smoking man label. The 1st print cover includes the custom heavy cardboard inner sleeve inside featuring the lyrics to “Detroit Rock City” on one side and the Kiss Army logo and membership information on the other. All of the 1st pressing copies of this issue were mastered by Sterling Sound, New York, NY. 

★

The album is in stunning Mint- condition. The top left corner of the back cover has a couple of small and barely noticeable creases. The shrink wrap with the original breathe holes on the left side of the front cover is fully intact and doesn't have any seam splits, tears or missing pieces having only just some very light shelf wear.  The original "Kiss Destroyer" promo sticker is in great unused vintage condition.
