There are a number of different pressings of the album. The first being a white label, promotional copy (NB-9001)without the song "Kissin' Time" (the band had not yet recorded the song at the time of the album's release). This promo was never sold to the public. It was only sent to radio stations for airplay. Next was the commercial release of NB-9001 with a blue "Bogart" label. This was exactly like the promo with the exception of the label change. (***********THIS IS THE COPY UP FOR AUCTION >>>>>>******) Two months later Neil Bogart heard about a kissing contest being promoted by a local radio station in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. KISS was booked to play there so Neil (looking to cash in on the publicity) hastily sent the band back into the studio to record "Kissin' Time" to release as a single. The song was then added to the track listing for the album giving us yet a third version. NB-9001 began to be pressed with "Kissin' Time" as track one on side two of the album. The cover however, was not changed. The only mention of the song on the new cover was in the form of a STICKER placed in the upper font left corner of the cover. The fourth & most common version of this album was NBLP-7001. After Warner Bros. broke their contract with Casablanca for distributing their records, Casablanca Records became completely independent. They now manufactured & distributed their own records. This is why the catalog number changed. The tracks include "Kissin' Time" & for the first time, the song was printed in the track listing on the back cover.* SO ... this makes for a very rare record. It has all the makings of the original released cover with the addition of a sticker on the front. Plus the makings of a reissue record with the addition of the Original call letters NB9001 and Warner brothers listed on the labels. If you've got the first pressing and the reissue NB7001, then you really need THIS pressing that seems to be a mixture of both. VALUE: Upon my google search ... I have seen this issue of this album go for anywhere from $100 to $300. CONDITION: The COVER is in good condition with ring wear pictured. The PAPER SLEEVE is yellowed but in good condition. The record has no chips or cracks of any kind
