KISS : THE ORIGINALS (NBLP 7032) FIRST 1976 PRESSING

First 1976 US pressing on blue and tan Casablanca labels. No "Records and Filmworks" below Casablanca title on labels. All original album cover sleeves included. Comes with original multi-page booklet but no stickers or cards.

The jacket is very worn and soft but still intact. Plenty of ringwear. All of spine writing is worn off. The spine is not split though except at top. Bottom seams of jacket are well worn but intact. The inner sleeves and booklet are in very good condition. The records have been placed into new paper sleeves to keep them clean (LPs were professionally cleaned). Booklet has some wrinkling but no rips, stains, etc.

The following describes the albums in the set

Disc 1 (KISS): VG++ with a few very light scuffs. Nothing significant.
Disc 2 (Hotter Than Hell): VG+ with several very light scratches. It plays well.
Disc 3 (Dressed To Kill): VG++ with a few light marks. Nothing significant.

Someone wrote their name in pencil or light pen in very small letters on one side of each LP.

No marks or scratches on the LPs can be felt with fingernail so no loud repeating ticks or skips/sticks, etc. There is expected to be some surface noise in quiet parts but nothing distracting.
