A dive into the many US vinyl variations of the Debut LP, and the 45 rpm singles that were released in support of it. Facebook Page USKISSVinylReference Instagram us_kiss_vinyl_reference
After watching this video, I was able to date my blue label #2 copy with black text I bought many moons ago. I've always thought it was missing the original inner sleeve, now you've showed it came with a generic one. Thanks, Mike!
With the way information like this is not indexed in any single place with a comprehensive picture guide to variations of pressings of a bands discography, this video is a nice guide to original KISS pressings. Usually I learn by accumulating memories of every variant misprint etc being listed on eBay but with KISS they have more freaking details to their different pressings than the Beatles the stones zeppelin sabbath combined. Thanks buddy. Btw I met a KISS army lieutenant on record store day he was assistant stage manager for the KISS reunion era. He also has a magnificent collection. At ease soldier
Just subscribed. Loved the video. I was brought here after the comments in KISS Army Things latest video. I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. I just love all the tiny details of the different versions of these records. You have quite an awesome collection there! Thanks for sharing them and your knowledge. I think I have seen you on KISS My Wax, another great channel. I dig your channel, no small talk just straight into the records!
I was watching the video again. I saw that you have published many others videos that I will look at shortly. Congratulations again. I thought your narration was a little slow, but it's the right pace. Detailed information that gives the possibility to understand the differences and gives the collector the opportunity to verify his copies. I have all the 9001 and 7001 copies with all the variations and I never realized that, as you say, there are no 9001 covers with Kissin' time and there are no 7001 copies without Kissin' time. I've had them for more than 30 years, Yesterday night I checked mine watching the video and I had never noticed this detail. Good job!
I've always spoke at a slow/medium pace. I start to stutter when I get to talking fast. My goal was to give folks time to check their copies out along with me
I have everything up to Alive II published now. From here, I will drop a new episode every Friday night/Saturday morning. I was going to do that to begin with, but I had so many episodes in the can that I didn't want that far of a lead on myself. I still have 2 episodes that are unpublished that I will keep as a lead.
Lots of variation with Casablanca artists. I don't really collect anyone else on vinyl, but I would think that almost everyone that sold a lot back in the golden age of vinyl would have some variations in their releases
There are only US picture sleeves for: Flaming Youth/God Of Thunder I Love It Loud/Danger Tears Are Falling/Any Way You Slice It Crazy Crazy Nights/No, No, No Reason To Live/Thief In The Night Turn On The Night/Hell Or High Water Let's Put The X In Sex/Calling Dr. Love
Yep. Every Polygram reissue will have that. There is also a Sunset Blvd Filmworks label that has it. It's the one I showed with the logo to the right of the hole and a 206 on the cover
Love your videos, Mike. Rob here from Charlotte, NC. I've been collecting KISS vinyl and memorabilia since 1976. I have multiples of the debut like you (missing one promo and #2 blue label). So my question.. I do have a Blue Label #3 with the Sunset Blvd address, obviously Kissin' Time is there but on my Side II there are literally 6 songs! The last cut on side two is a repeat of "Deuce" from Side II. No misprint on label - it references all 5 songs correctly.. left justified. I just have an extra or duplicate of Deuce on Side II. Have you ever come across an anomaly like this? The only other LP I have with a duplicate cut is one of my Frampton Comes Alive albums. Invite your expertise / perspective here.

There are books that cover the different aspects of KISS vinyl out there....
Congratulations for the video. Very interesting indeed.

Yep. I've been on Wax a couple times, and have been in the FB group since almost the beginning
Amazing video. It clarifies many things with the different variations. Thanks Mike!
My pleasure!

Thank you so very much for taking time to do that. Very much appreciated 👏
Very Very Very Very Very Very Good👍
Thanks brother! Very informative. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for watching!
Loved this Mike, thank you so much for always being willing to share your knowledge on the US catalog!
Yessir
KISS are the only band where this level of minutiae fascinates me. Excellent information and incredible collection buddy. Cheers 🍻

Awesome!
Thanks!
@56:23 "most of the US 45's do not have picture sleeves" ... woaw, i didn't know about that. thx 4 the video.
There are only US picture sleeves for:
Flaming Youth/God Of Thunder
I Love It Loud/Danger
Tears Are Falling/Any Way You Slice It
Crazy Crazy Nights/No, No, No
Reason To Live/Thief In The Night
Turn On The Night/Hell Or High Water
Let's Put The X In Sex/Calling Dr. Love
The weird thing about the version i bought in the mid 80"s with the barcode...is the inclusion of the live version of Nothin' to Lose
Yep. Every Polygram reissue will have that. There is also a Sunset Blvd Filmworks label that has it. It's the one I showed with the logo to the right of the hole and a 206 on the cover

Never heard... It's after Black Diamond, or is it just repeated twice in a row?
@@uskissvinylreferencepage3388 It's the full Side II ending with Black Diamond. Then Deuce repeats as final track closest to blue label itself.
Where do ya buy the stckers that ya have on the sleves covering the lp's. That shows the label of album in the jacket? Thats awesome.
I find them at Walmart. 2" round labels

Question.
Have you seen the 83/84 series of the self titled with a bar code sticker?
I've seen every title except for Paul, Peter and Ace's solo LP's
