Kiss Alive III on 180g 2LP

This year marks the 40th anniversary of rock and roll giants Kiss and, in true Kiss fashion, the band plan to make 2014 the biggest and loudest, non-stop rock and roll party of the century. Millions of people around the world originally discovered Kiss when they brought home an album and put it on their turntable for the first time. Those original Kiss albums are now remastered and will be available on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl. 

Kiss was the first signing to Neil Bogart’s Casablanca Records in 1973, offering them a contract on the spot after seeing them perform in New York City. Their self-titled debut would propel the band to the top of the rock and roll hierarchy where they have reigned for the past four decades, selling over 100 million albums worldwide. Kiss will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in April 2014, proof of the unparalleled devotion and loyalty of the Kiss Army to the “Hottest Band in the World.”

Producer Eddie Kramer returned to the fold to help deliver yet another classic live Kiss album with 1993's Alive III - the band's first live record since 1977's Alive II - captured during their Revenge Tour. Kiss warhorses, "Lick it Up" and "Heaven's on Fire" seem to hold up best when thrown in the company of "Detroit Rock City" and "Deuce" while the 17-song set also includes an inspired reworking of the "Star Spangled Banner" and a somewhat radical reworking of the old Argent chestnut "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" for good measure.
