aflycon Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 From USA Today: "How does a band celebrate the 40th anniversary of its recording career? With more recordings. Kiss, which released its self-titled debut and Hotter Than Hell in 1974, will kick off a year of anniversary festivities with the April 1 arrival of 10 remastered Kiss albums on vinyl. Another 18 titles will be unleashed by mid-2014. In May, the band delivers the two-CD Kiss 40 compilation containing one track from every major album, plus live cuts and an unreleased demo from 1977. The set includes such Kiss classics as Detroit Rock City, Love Gun, Beth, Rock And Roll All Nite, Psycho Circus, I Was Made For Lovin' You and Lick It Up. And today, the foursome serves up Kissteria — The Ultimate Vinyl Road Case, a vinyl box set holding 34 Kiss LPs including titles never previously issued on vinyl. The limited-edition mother lode of Kiss music boasts 19 studio albums, all five Alivereleases, the four original Kiss solo albums and six exclusive vinyl discs that will not be sold individually. Among the extras are 11 posters (including the band's first promo poster), a Kiss vinyl cleaning cloth, a Kiss turntable mat, Kiss dominos and four band lithographs. The box can be pre-ordered here. Visit KissOnline.com for details on all things Kiss. The band will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame April 10. The group is announcing a tour with Def Leppard today." I think it's weird that these guys are getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with those new guys. This box set is pretty cool though. turbobrando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnstypls Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 This is fucking nuts. Will buy if $500 or less, which is doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I am betting on 999,99 excl. sales tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnstypls Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I am betting on 999,99 excl. sales tax. Probably right. The road case alone is a $200 value, easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmikeX13 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I want the really bad but the price tag is going to be ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxv Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would love one of these as Kiss was a huge part of my youth in the '70s (yes I'm a dinosaur). I bet it is at least 1000 dollars which means there is no way in hell I will ever own one. I do have that Japanese vinyl box set that has the first 9 albums (I think it is 9, everything from the beginning to Dynasty) on colored vinyl, it's an amazing set. That will have to suffice, especially since I hate all the records they did without the makeup. Kiss without the makeup and gimmicks is not Kiss. I think they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame but they damn well better include Ace and Peter since they were there from the start and played on most of those classic records. bluessinger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I wonder what the 6 exclusive will be. I see Carnival of Souls in there and Im betting that doesnt get pressed elsewhere. Also limited to 1000 total so I bet they will go fast, and then be even more jacked in price, but yeah, Im banking on over $1000 dollars for this.

Guest mastenator Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Simmons insatiable lust for wealth means this will be $500-$1,000 easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 $500 would be reasonable, too reasonable. I'd buy it for that. No way it would be that low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hmmm... Simmons and Stanley with another opportunity to milk their long-suffering fans yet again?? Shocker. I wonder if all those KISS albums and the KISS road case will fit inside my KISS Koffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollyronnie Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Love it. Finding another way to sell this to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersdown Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 They should put out a slimmed down version of this box set. Only the good songs on one piece of vinyl. Kiss 7" inch, $5 bucks. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I wonder if this is going to clog up the pressing plants like the Beatles box did a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only based on the picture, but you should be able to tell from this article http://theseconddisc.com/2014/03/18/kiss-prep-smashes-thrashes-hits-everything-else-for-vinyl-mega-box/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 That still doesnt say what the 6 that will be only for the boxset though. It just reiterates that what is in it (though I do see Smashes Thrashes Hits twice in that picture) and that some of them have individual release dates.

billynomates Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 34 LPs plus posters. Bet it's a min of £1000 more likely £1200. And why miss one LP all together (Sonic Boom)? Would be nice to have but sure it's outside my price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I assumed it could be backed into if one had the full list of titles based on this: "19 studio albums, all five Alivereleases, the four original Kiss solo albums and six exclusive vinyl discs " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Justin Maheiny Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was a pretty big KISS fan back in the day but 34 records is about 28 more than I could imagine needing to listen to again. Unless you have KISS tattooed on your forehead, I don't see why you would want/need to own this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all six "exclusive" titles are just greatest hits albums that regurgitate the same songs you already have on all the OTHER 28 records. Well done, Simmons & Stanley. FYI I picked up one of those "exclusive" titles a few months back: Double Platinum. Same embossed cover. Same "platinum" certificate. All-analog mastering > digital remastering. All the KISS most people will ever need. $7 used. (Or about $993 less than this box.) niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piky0032 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Can we all agree this is going to be on PopMarket at a heavy discount in the not too distant future? i want to say that with all the Kiss Freaks out there, this will go 10x Quicker than the AOF box /1000.....this shouldn't get to pop market..........shouldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 This will sell out. No question. tkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
