Description
Description:
Up for sale is an authentic factory-sealed first pressing of KISS – Destroyer (Casablanca Records, catalog NBLP 7025), released March 15, 1976. This is not a reissue or reseal—this is the real deal: an untouched, 100% original 1976 shrink wrap with the rare original FEDCO $3.37 price sticker still affixed on the shrink, exactly as it would have been found on the shelves during the album’s chart run in mid-1976.
The sticker itself is a key piece of provenance—FEDCO was a regional department store chain that routinely applied price labels at the time of release. The “$3.37” price aligns perfectly with mid-1976 new-release LP retail pricing, further confirming this as a true period-sealed copy likely purchased right when the album was riding high on the charts with singles like Detroit Rock City and Beth.
Condition:
• Vinyl: MINT (unopened)
• Cover: MINT in original shrink, no corner dings or ring wear visible through wrap
• Shrink wrap: Original 1976 style—tight fit, proper seams, breathing hole pattern consistent with Casablanca’s mid-’70s sealing methods
• Sticker: FEDCO $3.37, clean, unfaded, firmly attached under the shrink
Track listing:
Side One:
1. Detroit Rock City
2. King of the Night Time World
3. God of Thunder
4. Great Expectations
Side Two:
5. Flaming Youth
6. Sweet Pain
7. Shout It Out Loud
8. Beth
9. Do You Love Me
Matrix / Pressing Info:
• First pressing, catalog NBLP 7025, Casablanca blue label expected inside (unverified due to seal)
• Likely pressed at Bell Sound (CTH) based on period distribution
Collector Notes:
• Sealed ’76 copies are extremely rare, especially with retail provenance stickers from the album’s original sales window.
• Most surviving sealed copies show shrink aging—this one is clean, tight, and free from shelf wear.
• Destroyer is one of the most iconic rock albums of the ’70s and a must-own centerpiece for any serious KISS collection.
• This is a museum-quality piece that has survived nearly 50 years in untouched condition.
Valuation:
• Recent sales for similar sealed first pressings without price stickers: $850–$1,050.
• The original FEDCO sticker + pristine condition justifies the $1,299.99 OBO asking price.
Shipping:
• Will be packed in an oversized, reinforced box with corner protection, poly-sleeved, and insured for full value.
