Description

This listing is for all 4 original Kiss Solo Albums from 1978. Overall, this is a very nice set of the 4 vinyl albums.
US print:
CASABLANCA
NBLP7120.  GENE SIMMONS NBLP7121.  ACE FREHLEY NBLP7122.  PETER CRISS  NBLP7123.  PAUL STANLEY

Each of the 4 albums include the original poster that was included inside that band members album. The posters are unused, and in excellent condition. They were only unfolded when i purchased the album just to quickly view, but then folded right back up and stored inside the jacket for over 40 years  (Until now when I took them out to take photos for this listing)
Each of the jackets are a perfect square. There are no cut corners, no saw marks, no drill holes. The inner sleeves on 3 of them have a very small cut on a corner (please see all photos)
Each of the 4 jackets still has a nice gloss to it. For the most part these covers look really good! There is some edge wear and some light creases. Paul's has a small crease at the bottom as you can see in the photo. Looking directly at the covers, I'd say they are over 95% excellent condition, with the wear and light creasing being mainly around the edges.
The inner sleeves are super glossy, and overall good condition. The negative is that all 4 have seam splits where the record splits the end of the sleeve (please see photo). One has a folded corner crease. 
Peters album came with an insert sheet, and Ace and Gene's albums included a merchandise form as well. These are all in excellent condition. (See photos).  My Paul and Peter albums did not include the merchandise forms. I bought them a couple years after they were released, so maybe Casablanca didn't include them after the initial batches. 
Each of the 4 records plays perfectly. There are no skips, and these records play very quiet, barely any surface noise. I havent played them in approximately 40 years. I did take them out to test them and played the quiet parts between songs and they sound good. The spindle holes do not show signs of wear.  I took care of my records. Usually playing them when I purchased them, and then recording them onto the TDK or Maxell cassettes to listen to in my boom box, at work, or later in my car. I still have my Pioneer turntable from 1980.  I first installed a Pickering cartridge and stylus in the 80's, and nowadays use an Audio Technica cartridge.
Visually, each of the records is still glossy. But for collectors I will add this. I am not a professional grader, and what's EX- to some might be VG+ to others, so I choose not to attempt. I see all these grading and its so hard to compare. Whats VG+++ anyway??? So I take pictures, and I try to describe the best I can. 
All 4 of these records have light surface scuffs, from sliding the record in and out of the inner sleeve. None of the scuffs affect the play in any way. It is light scuffing. It doesn't look great, but plays fine.There is a scratch over the last 2 tracks on side one of Aces album, that also does not affect play. 
If you are looking for a set of all 4 solo albums, that play great, have uncut corner covers in good condition, include all 4 posters unused in perfect condition, and also include a few other inserts, this is a good listing for you.
If you have any questions at all please ask before you bid. This is a final sale for these vinyl albums, and I will be happy to answer any questions that you have. Please review my feedback as well. 
These will be shipped out using USPS. 
Thank you for viewing my auctions, and have a great day!
