Condition: Used Media Condition: Very Good (VG) (Light scuffs in both sides. Strong VG) Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG) (Some edge wear no aplits) Unmasked by Kiss . By 1980, Kiss had already conquered arena rock, which makes this particular pressing an intriguing curiosity in any collection. What sets this copy apart is a small but telling detail prized by serious collectors: while the label carries the "18" plant identifier, the runout etchings tell a different story, revealing an Indianapolis pressing. It's exactly the kind of quiet discrepancy that turns an ordinary record into a documented variant worth seeking out. Beyond the label intrigue, the record rewards close listening. The playing has a directness and confidence that comes from a band that knew how to build a groove and hold it, with performances that stay tight without losing their swagger. There's a real sense of ensemble here—instruments locking together, dynamics rising and falling with purpose—so that even familiar material takes on fresh texture when you drop the needle and let the sides play through end to end. For the collector, the appeal is twofold. You get a well-known name from a landmark year, and you get a pressing whose runout tells you something the label alone won't. That combination of listenability and documented pressing detail is precisely what makes a copy like this worth owning, shelving alongside your favorites, and returning to whenever you want a record that carries a little extra story in the grooves.
