NOTES:

 Ace Frehley designed the original KISS logo after joining the group in 1973.  He drewthe two S’s on KISS with lightning bolt-style S’s.  Making it one of the most iconic and recognizable band logo’s in the biz.

The logo worked well in every county except Germany.  The problem being that Nazi Germany’s Schutzstaffel otherwise known as the “SS” used a similar lightning bolt logo stylized with the Armanen Sig runes.

The similarity between the “SS” logo and KISS’ wasn’t an issue until around 1980, when the Nazi “SS” logo was used in a political ad in West Germany.  KISS decided to modify it prior to a September 1980 tour of West Germany by rounding the edges.

Since then all of their German-issued albums and marketing materials have used this modified KISS logo.

Tracklist

BRONCO GALLERY GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) ~ Perfect in every way and never played. Sealed.

Near Mint(NM) - A mint piece of vinyl, this would be our highest grading used for any open record, still has original luster with only the slightest of use (no noticeable scuffs or scratching and will play with no distractions). Cover: Almost perfect without any flaws, almost always in shrink-wrap.

Excellent (EX) - This record would fall between NM- and VG, it’s not quite NM- but is better than VG. This would be only slightly less visually than NM- but still should play almost flawlessly. Cover: Slight wear may be displayed.

Very Good (plus) (VG +) - A very nice record that has been played a little and handled very carefully. Starting to show signs of use such as hairline scratching and scuffing but is still a well-cared-for album and may have some slight discernible imperfection in the audio. Cover: Will have minimal marks and wear.

Very Good (VG) - A nice record which has been played and handled, discs have scratches, and Surface scuffing . Noticeable but minimal surface noise. Groove wear will have started. Cover: Will have seam wear, slight ring wear, or slight corner rounding.

GOOD (G) - Record shows visible sign of play with scratches and scuffs, may have slight surface noise. Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split
