KISS - Destroyer

 

Kiss debut previously unheard acoustic mix of hit ballad "Beth"

Destroyer 45th Anniversary Super Deluxe 4CD + Blu-ray box set!

First-ever Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Blu-ray audio disc mixed by Steven Wilson!

73 total tracks, including 48 never-before-released!

Rock superstars Kiss celebrate the 45th anniversary of their historic Destroyer album with a new super deluxe edition box set. Destroyer 45th Super Deluxe annihilates your senses with 4CDs, a first-ever Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Blu-ray Audio disc mixed by Steven Wilson, plus a 68-page hardcover book with unreleased photos and extensive liner notes. Featuring 73 total tracks — with 48 tracks unreleased — Destroyer has been newly remastered at Abbey Road Mastering Studios.

The bonus audio includes the brand-new "Beth (Acoustic Mix)." This version of the hit ballad with lead vocals by drummer Peter Criss, is lead by an acoustic guitar and the sweeping cinematic orchestration has been largely stripped away, letting piano melodies occupy most of the space with some gentle acoustic strumming throughout.

There are loads of single edits, demos, early versions and outtakes such as "Ain't None Of Your Business" plus the 5/22/76 L'Olympia in Paris concert.

A wealth of exclusive collectibles include...Replica 1976 Kiss Army Kit complete with the original folder and many more featured items.

Destroyer is one of the most famous albums of Kiss' career. The classic record includes famous songs like "Shout It Out Loud," "Detroit Rock City," and "Beth." "Beth" reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of the biggest hits of the band's career. It remained on the chart for 21 weeks. Destroyer became a major hit as well, rising to No. 11 on the Billboard 200, and staying on the chart for 83 weeks.
