As an avid eBay user I often come across cool stuff on eBay. The find today is the original picture for the Dynasty poster. The starting bid is $600.
The description from the seller is; “KISS dye-transfer print produced in 1976(Red.????), originally planned for a KISS album cover. However, another band had issued an album featuring the same fundamental concept (of the band members bound in straitjackets); therefore, the print was never utilized. This is the only such picture of the album cover in existence. Image moderately blemished by mildew stains from protracted storage in humid conditions.”
A really cool little part of Kisstory. Check it out on eBay.

This is the Kiss article I probably read most times during the early 80′s. Anders Tengners article about the Scandinavian part of the European tour in 1980. Anders have graciously give me permission to post a English version of the article (translated by me). Be sure to check out Anders book “Access All Areas – Mitt liv med hårdrockens giganter”.
”You wanted the best, you got he best the hardest band in the world KISS”. Bombene går av og 1977 hitten “Love Gun” øser ut av de gigantiske høytalerne. Så står jeg der igjen for 4 gang på 5 dager. Fremst foran scenen, med blikket mot verdens største rocke ikoner. Igjen er KISS på turne i USA og 1000 vis av fans er samlet for å hylle sine helter denne kvelden.
During the winther, you could find many rumours on the internet or in the newspapers about KISS quitting the game. And finally the news came, KISS was going to do a last tour, the Farewell Tour. But the impossible was going to happen; The tour was supposed to just be in America, they were not coming to Norway and Europe!! The thought of never seeing them live one more time was heartbreaking, and I can imagine that we weren`t the only ones sitting late one night drinking some cold beers, dreaming about a last Kiss in America… In this case, it was more than just some foolish talk forgotten next day. It was real for us.
We decided to travel to New York and see KISS at Madison Square Guarden (MSG) the 10th and 11th of july. These dates were not confirmed, but we took the chance. After many hours of work, tickets to the flight was arranged, and a hotel on Manhattan was booked for six persons. The company who was going besides myself and my girlfriend Mari Sandnes, were Lars Petter Strand, Henrik Engebretsen, Gry Thorsen and Håkon Glenne.
