180-gram LP

First U.S. vinyl pressing since 1985

Kiss celebrates its 40th anniversary and its induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with a series of individual 180-gram vinyl reissues from the band's celebrated catalog, including their 1998 effort Psycho Circus on vinyl for the very first time! 

Among the titles returning to record store shelves are the band's self-titled debut and sophomore Hotter Than Hell albums (both from 1974) as well as their double-live 1975 breakthrough album Alive! — which was already reissued back in 2008. Also arriving are 1976's Destroyer, 1979's Dynasty, 1980's Unmasked, 1983's Lick it Up, 1984's Animalize and 1992's Revenge

Face paint and fake blood aside, Kiss proved they had the hooks and the raw rock power to rule the world right from the word "go." Their amazing 1974 debut features the hit "Kissin' Time" and fan faves "Cold Gin," "Deuce," and "Strutter."

"Kiss's self-titled debut manages to simultaneously represent what rock & roll in the 1970s was all about, and stand up as a classic recording without sounding dated. That's a rare trick, even for Kiss ... and one that should be appreciated even as listening to the album brings back misty-eyed visions of high school. (It doesn't matter if you were in high school in the '70s, something about this album just screams late adolescence.) Kiss is, of course, crammed full of songs that would become concert favorites (most of this album appears on Alive!) and classics — who hasn't heard 'Strutter' or 'Deuce'? It's a slab of pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll. While this isn't especially thought-provoking stuff, it's arguable that rock ever should be." — Amazon.com
