77 Love Gun

file under: nearly impossible to find

rare original aucoin mgt. kiss iron-on tee 
year: 1977
tag: too faded to read
material: 50/50 cotton-polyester blend
condition: worn
value: $300.00 (not for sale)
*note: this is from the love gun era. so many great songs, "i stole your love", "shock me", & "hooligan". it was also the first album to feature a lead vocal by ace frehley. kiss was still reputable at this time and had become a worldwide sensation. we'd come home from school, play this record a few times and then go skate. think logan earth ski boards and road rider 4's! the 70's were a great time to grow up.
