💡 Collector’s Note

The Columbia Pitman “P” press is universally recognized as the definitive East Coast first pressing of Alive II.

The mastering has slightly hotter top-end EQ and tighter low-end response compared to Keel or PRC copies, and pressing quality was cleaner.

Combine that with original shrink, hype sticker, store tag, and NM condition, and you’ve got what serious collectors call a museum-grade retail survivor — one of the finest examples of Alive II still in existence.

DESCRIPTION:

🔥 KISS – ALIVE II (1977 Original Casablanca NBLP 7076)

✅ KISS Army envelope

✅ Combat Gear order form

✅ Unused tattoo sheet (complete – nearly impossible to find this clean!)

🎸 About This Pressing

Released October 1977, Alive II captured KISS at their peak on the Love Gun tour and included five new studio tracks on Side 4:

“All American Man,” “Rockin’ in the USA,” “Larger Than Life,” “Rocket Ride,” and “Any Way You Want It.”

Copies in this condition — still in shrink with both stickers and every insert intact — rarely survive. Most were opened decades ago.
