As with most of these 2014 Kiss reissues, this one was done very well. The mastering was comparable to the original pressing. Didn't seem enhanced a bunch, but it definitely didn't sound squashed or muddy at all by no means. My copy is dead quite with almost zero surface noise, which was almost shocking to me when playing the first few I bought. Most of these reissues have been extremely clean, centered, flat, and all around well pressed. Which was a relief, considering I've had a few "new" other albums (different artists) that were somewhat noisey, had vocal sibilance problems, out of center, and even slightly warped! I've even opened up a couple new albums that literally had finger prints on the play surface! But none of that with these New Kiss albums! The packaging is almost dead on to the original pressings, complete with proper inner sleeve reproductions, inserts, tattoos, posters etc....(with the exception of the original order forms). The only complaint I can give, is some of the original Kiss album covers had glossy sheens (this being one of them), but ALL of these reissues have a matte finish to them. With the shrinkwrap still on, it's almost unnoticeable. But, with the gatefold covers (like with this album) I usually remove the shrinkwrap to gaze apon the cover while listening. Then when done, put a clear plastic protective slipcover over it while it is on the shelf. This really only matters to the most picky, nostalgic collectors like myself. All in all, these 2014 reissues are a long hoped for wish come true for me! They did a great job both with the remastering and packaging! They obviously took the time to make each album as close as they could to the original pressing experience with some upgrading in some instances, such as the vinyl thickness and remastering. Two thumbs up all the way!!!Read full review

I loved this album as a kid, so when I found this one still in the plastic it was a no brainier! We recently bought a new record player and we are excited to build our collection! It brings back those memories of being a kid and opening the record for the first time!
