KISS - Alive! - 2xLP Album (double album) - Japanese pressing - 1975

The essence of Rock ’n’ Roll in its most prestigious form: the Japanese First Pressing SJET-9569~70 from 1975. This is not merely a record. It embodies the exact moment the KISS transitioned into legendary status, immortalized through the unmatched sound quality of Japanese lacquer pressings from the mid-70s. This isn’t just any used copy; it’s a carefully preserved archival piece, originally housed for radio stations and tailored to meet the exacting standards of audiophiles and the most discerning collectors. *Alive!* is widely regarded as one of the greatest live albums in rock history. Produced by Eddie Kramer, celebrated for his work with Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, this album catapulted KISS from a struggling "cult" act to international superstars, swiftly earning gold status in the United States and leaving a profound impact in the Japanese market. It’s historically noted for its extensive post-production and overdubbing, serving not so much as an unfiltered live recording but rather as a curated "document" of what the KISS experience embodied at that pivotal time. As their fourth album and a defining bridge between their early era and their mid-70s peak (soon followed by *Destroyer*), this release captures a transformational period like no other. To ensure a flawless auditory experience, both LPs have undergone ultrasonic cleaning to eliminate bothersome background noise. What’s being offered here isn’t just an LP—it’s a piece of history, the moment KISS became legends.
