Customer Reviews

Not That Great
I bought this on tape when it first came out, then gave it away. If you like rock, want ot hear KISS's hits, how the were recorded, buy Double Platinum, and then just buy Creatures of the Night, Lick it Up, Asylum, Crazy Nights, Revenge, Psycho Circus, and then Carnical of Souls.

And Guys, I I have them all, been to see them 6 times, will try and get to Download (was at the front last time at Donnington), and must advise you all to get out there and see "The Hottest Bad in the World, KISS" live and in the (probably decaying) flesh!

Also Alive, Alive II, Alive III, and Alive IV are very much worth buying...

The best greatest hits package, but its lacking...
This is a very good greatest hits package, probably the best released to date because it recognises some of the bands more unusual hits, ie. Crazy Crazy Nights (the most underrated KISS tune). Essentially they're all here; Deuce, Detroit Rock City, I Was Made For Lovin' You, God Gave Rock... and Rock n Roll All Nite for instance, but you have to wonder why tracks such as Shout It Out Loud, Let Me Go Rock And Roll and Into The Void were left out, yet Plaster Caster, Hotter Than Hell and Sure Know Something were included.

As has been mentioned, I eagerly await a volume 2 in this series, as there's so much more story to tell. For now, though, definately buy this as its a great starting point.

Setting the record straight
This isn't really a review, more of a response to the views expressed by M A Kelley (see review further down). I just wanted to set the record straight, for anyone intending to buy this.
The tracks on this CD are probably re-mastered, but otherwise pretty much Identical to the original album tracks. (Detroit Rock City has had the annoying Car Crash Intro removed, but the actual song is the same). The Tracks he mentioned, Black Diamond and Deuce are Identical to the Original versions on 'KISS', so please do not be put off thinking that these are updated or altered. (Perhaps he is mistaking the album tracks for live versions)
As it stands, this album is a great intro to early KISS, with most of the more popular recognised songs. For a band with over 30 albums, you're never going to please everyone with your song choices, but at 20 tracks it's good value for money. I'm hoping that one day we'll see 'Greatest Hit's Vol 2', with more songs from the Carr, Kulick, Singer, etc. years.
