KISS KOLLECTIBLES – Wanna See My KISS / Gene Simmons Phone Card From 1996?

KISS – Back in 1996, I received this very cool KISS Kollectable PrePaid Phone Card as a Christmas gift. This phone card is the Gene Simmons version. As you can see from the top photo, I never opened the packaging to use it. I did have a cell phone back in ’96, therefore, this card was more valuable to me as a KISS Kollectible than anything else.

This is the only KISS phone card I have from this particular series. If I remember correctly, one of the large book seller chains was selling these KISS phone cards back then. I can’t recall if any record store chain was selling them or not. This phone card set commemorated the 1996 KISS reunion of the original four. Creative Communications is the company that appears to have released these phone cards.

Check out the back of the packaging:

It appears from the photos on this flip-side of the packaging, that there were 10 different KISS phone cards to kollect in all. It would be cool to own the entire set of these KISS phone cards. For now, I’m content to have just this Gene Simmons phone card in my KISS Kollection. Metal be thy name.

Hometown Record Release Show Confirmed

_______________________________

Philadelphia’s Thrashbastards RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER are preparing to unload Ghostmaker, their belligerent third album, and first for Candlelight Records, onto North American ‘bangers on June 19th.

Formed by current members of Absu, Woe, Azure Emote, Ashencult, Fucked Forever, Total Fucking Destruction, Smoker & the Rollers and more, RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER‘s hard-partying Death-Thrash surges with more intensity than ever on Ghostmaker, resulting in a maniacal forty-five minute whirlwind that will surely require neck braces for unseasoned and weak metallers. The album was produced by the band and bears cover art by gore artist Mike Hrubovcak (Sinister, Grave, Hate Eternal, Cattle Decapitation, etc.) as with several of the band’s previous releases.

Today the title track to Ghostmaker has been set loose upon the masses via RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER‘s diehard neighbors at Stereokiller RIGHT HERE.

Just days before the album is officially in stores across the continent, RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER have confirmed a hometown release show for Ghostmaker at Philly’s M Room on June 15th alongside an arsenal of additional riotous acts.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER Ghostmaker Record Release Show:

6/15/2012 M Room – Philadelphia, PA w/ Scaphism, Eat The Turnbuckle, Psychosomatic, Sacrificial Blood, Primitive Ways
