Dressed to Kill is the third studio album by American hard rock band Kiss, released in 1975. It was produced by Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart, as the label's financial situation at the time did not permit the hiring of a professional producer.

Dressed to Kill peaked at #32 in the US and was certified gold by the RIAA on February 28, 1977. "C'mon and Love Me" and "Rock and Roll All Nite" were released as singles but failed to rise up the charts.

GRADING KEY

Near Mint

·      Vinyl -  Shows no obvious signs of wear. Looks and sounds new but has been played.

·      Sleeve -  Has no creases, folds, cuts, seam splits or other similar defects. Looks as if you just removed the shrink wrap.

Excellent

·      Vinyl - May have faint scuffs on the surface only. No noise from scuffs will be heard unless from the pressing itself.

·      Sleeve -  Any wear would be considered normal for its age. May show minimal signs of ring wear or wear on edges and corners.

Very Good Plus

·      Vinyl – Surface may show some slight signs of wear or have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Besides light normal background noise, the record should have no loud pops nor skips.

·      Sleeve -  May have noticeable signs of ring wear  and wear on spine, edges and corners.

Very Good

·      Vinyl - The typical defects found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced. Surface noise may be evident upon playing, but will not overpower the music.

·      Sleeve - May be marred by writing, small tears, wrinkles, or by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

Good

·      Vinyl – Will play through without skipping. It may have some surface noise, minor scratches or some visible groove wear.

·      Sleeve - May have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects are visible and obvious.
