Kiss MTV Unplugged 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 discoveredKiss when they brought home an album and put it on their turntable for the first time. Those original Kiss albums are nowremastered 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.”

Kiss set down their electric guitars for this special live show taped for MTV Unplugged in 1995, which featured the first reunion in nearly 20 years of the original Kiss lineup: Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. However, the song selection here goes well beyond the perfunctory greatest-hits album made with acoustic guitars.

As enthusiastic as the crowd was during the performance, their ardor overflowed when Frehley and Criss appeared. For their first two songs – Ace’s take on the Stones’ “2,000 Man” and Criss’ ballad, “Beth” – only the original members of Kissare heard playing together. And on all-time Kiss classic “Rock And Roll All Nite,” each of the original members even takes a verse.
