idreamofpunk Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I gotta say, I'm somewhat interested in this reissue. Kind of in the same way I was interested in the Remastered cd for Music From The Elder, where the tracks are rearranged to how they were SUPPOSED to be sequenced in the first place.

kingnikko5 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Got mine today too. Gave it to my dad and he wet his panties haha. Keeping it sealed unless we get a chance to get signatures. He's going to see Peter Criss at his last signing and most likely will open it then for the sig. Let me know how it sounds when you spin it and send me some pics of everything if you wouldn't mind Perm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFuckingPowers Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Dude I went to J&R in downtown NYC and they were sold out! LP and CD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Sounds GREAT! I'll post pics of everything tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 See, I didn't even check Bleecker when I was in there. Lack of real spending money, and I'm much further removed from the Kiss fanaticism of my youth. What cds do you still need? Ill have to check when I go home this weekend. Less than 10 though. I was working one day and this dude stold like 20 to FYE and they had this buy 3 get 1 free used deal, so I pounced. All remasters too! For like 54 in total. Thats including the limited edition digipack of Alive IV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanos27 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Got my copy today. "New" cover is awesome. And the booklet inside has the "original" (as we knew it) cover, so you can look at them side by side and check out the differences. Maybe I'm a nerd, but that alone made this worth it to me. I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's on 180-gram vinyl. I don't remember that being mentioned in the release info. Will be spinning it tomorrow.

selfreliable Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Man, 22.48 at my local store for this and they usually are under MSRP on their stuff. I cant justify paying that much for a single lp that has sold over 2 million copies world wide before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanos27 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Finally got to spin it today. I agree with permafaust - it sounds great. Haven't listened to this album on vinyl since I was a kid. Took me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 its Kiss. they sell t shirts for 30 bucks, lunch boxes for 50, sell out a convention in las vegas that the band doesnt even attend 24 bucks for an lp is not much for most kiss fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 This convention must've been recent. An old friend of mine organized one a long time ago, and he figured the band would be stoked about it. The only interaction he got with them was their lawyers contacting him saying "if you use (insert crazy obscure bullshit he wanted to use to advertise for it or get printed in a program), we'll sue you into the stone age." He did all of the legwork, and a bunch of us over at the old Kiss Asylum board had his back the whole time, even flying out to Vegas to attend and such. he actually got Mark St. John to be a guest. Maybe Eric Singer made an appearance, I can't remember. He ended up losing a lot of money, and being really disenfranchised with Kiss as a whole. He ended up selling the leftover programs on the Kiss Asylum board and basically gave a lot of his Kiss stuff away to people who bought those. He had a sizable collection (ebayed the really good stuff), and some people got really big surprises in the mail with their order of multiple programs to help him out. Sorry to be a buzzkill on the band. It just sucked that something that was supposed to be a celebration of a band that meant so much to him turned out to be what drove him to completely disown them. This is the buy who, when I turned 13, sent me my first Kiss bootleg VHS concert tapes. I still have that shit. I wouldn't have seen the Tom Snyder interview until years later if it weren't for him. Shit just sucks that things turned out that way. Also, 30 for a Kiss shirt is cheap as hell. When I saw 'em last in '10 with The Academy Is... (which was probably the weirdest choice for main support I've seen with them), the shirts were $40, minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
