Mine has no thumb, unfortunately, but it was only $2.99 for a decent copy WB green label. I used to have the uncensored cover, but you know how that goes... Rolling Eyes

It's a good thing they removed that wretched thumb. It is now safe for the youth of America to go out at night. Suspect

This is true! I remember having an irrational fear of penises secretly being on display right in front of my eyes when I was 3 years old back in 1971 when this came out - until they censored that vile cover, that is. Now I'm fine.

You forgot that sweet collector's gem Both Sides - Strings n Things!

KISS - Ace Frehley (picture disc)
I've always wanted this record, but it usually always sells for STUPID amounts of money. There are two copies on Ebay currently, both above $30 with several days still left to bid. Usually they sell for around $50 or more. There was a copy on Ebay last week for $100. Didn't see if it actually sold for that much or not. Anyhow, this is just a cool collectible. It will probably never see a turntable, but rather a frame on my wall!

KISS - Best of the Solos (German pressing)
This is another one that I have never owned and have always wanted. Thanks Trog for snagging this one for me. Best of the Solos has never officially been pressed to CD. This record has also been released with several different covers in different countries. I dig this version because it has the backwards ZZ's in the logo. The last two letters of the original Kiss logo resembled the SS symbol, and sensitive German officials insisted the band change the logo, since these nazi symbols are outlawed.

Also scored on vinyl:
KISS - s/t (original pressing w/o Kissin' Time)
FRANK MARINO - Juggernaut
FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSH - Tales of the Unexpected
AEROSMITH - Dude (Looks Like a Lady) (promo 12" single)
NEKTAR - Recycled (American gatefold version)
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery (with insert)
JUDAS PRIEST - British Steel
KROKUS - Hardware
UFO - Obsession
UFO - Strangers in the Night
WISHBONE ASH - Pilgrimage
YES - Yesterdays
Y&T - Black Tiger

I used to own them both. I even had a cool collectors box, with all the solo discs as picture disc.

Trog Dawn has nice places to get all of these rarities. I once saw an ALICE COOPER LP that had a panty inside, and some rare stuff, I didn't have money to get that, I think it was from the SCHOOLS OUT album

I am going to 2 record stores today, I am defenitly getting at least 2 lp's.
