EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. ** WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DESCRIPTION ** Up for auction from my own personal collection is a fully signed CREATURES OF THE NIGHT album! Some 28 years ago the band made a very rare European promotional tour to lauch their then brand new album. At the time no one knew that this would be the last makeup event with guitarist Ace Frehley up until the reunion 1996. KISS flew in from New York City to Stockholm, Sweden on Nov 21, 1982 to do TV and radioshows to promote their new album and upcoming tour. The band stayed at the local Sheraton Hotel and very few fans knew about their visit. On the following day (Monday, Nov 22) Gene Simmons taped an interview with Swedish televison, Paul Stanley did an radio interview along with some photosessions for national press and Swedens biggest rockmagazine OKEJ. On this tight schedule the band visited the headquarters of PolyGram Records (located at the time in Solna) and signed a limited number of albums to be given away in contest and so on. According to Robert Hultman (back then mainman for KISS in Sweden) less than 25 copies were signed .As a diehard KISS collector since the early 80Â´s IÂ´ve only come across 3 copies (apart from my own) from this signing session and none of them were for sale. And none of them were as good looking as this one.On this 10 day promotional tour the band visited Sweden, UK, Holland, Spain, Germany and Italy . What make this signed album even rarer - apart from itÂ´s vintage feel - is that on the flight from Italy back to New York - it is said according to Simmons himself - that Ace decided to leave the band. These were the last appearences KISS made with Ace Frehley until the Unplugged gig in 1995 and the reunion tour that came after. About the sleeve : Fully sined by Gene Simmons, Eric Carr, Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley . Date of signatures: Nov 22, 1982 . Location of session: PolyGram Records, MariehÃ¤llsvÃ¤gen in Solna, Stockholm. The album has been kept in a smokefree inviroment since I obtained the record in 1984. It has always been protected in a plastic outer sleeve and kept away from unnecessary handling. All four signatures are almost PERFECT (no smudges as I have seen on other copies) and done with a medium thin white marker pen apart from Eric Carr who used a medium thin silver marker pen. None what so ever wear to the cover itself and the vinyl unplayed. I would confident rate this a Nm according to RC grading scale. This is the REAL DEAL , make no misstake about that. This is a one time offer to lay your lay your hands on a genuine true piece of vintage KISSTORY . No COA will be provided since IÂ´m the original owner and the album is sold under these terms. I have been an ebayer far too long to bomb my reputation and feedback by listing fake items. About me: IÂ´ve been active as a reporter/photographer for a number of Swedish music magazines (OKEJ magazine being the most established) since the late 80`s to present day . From 1988 - 1990 I ran the Swedish KISS ARMY SWEDEN . Currently IÂ´m working as a promo... read more
