Info zu Dressed To Kill (2025 Remaster)

Newly remastered by Bernie Grundman from the 1975 stereo analog tapes.

From the 1975 Dressed To Kill Tour comes two full concerts – Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan on May 16th, and RKO Orpheum Theatre in Davenport, Iowa, on July 20, the First Show. Both have been newly mixed by legendary producer and engineer Eddie Kramer from the original multi-track analog tapes as Kiss performed in 1975 with no overdubs.

Released in March of 1975, Dressed to Kill was Kiss' third studio album, released just five months after November 1974's Hotter Than Hell and just thirteen months after their February 1974 self-titled debut.

The album is home to the band's signature anthem and traditional show-closing song "Rock and Roll All Nite," as well as longtime concert staples such as "She" and "C'mon and Love Me."

Although the band was building a strong live following due to their unique look and stage show, their first two albums had failed to make much of a dent on the sales charts, leaving their label so short on money that Casablanca president Neil Bogart produced Dressed to Kill himself.

The band had to borrow most of their suits and ties from the album's now-iconic cover photo, which was shot on the corner of 8th Avenue and 23rd Street in New York City.

Recorded in just 10 days, Dressed to Kill clocks in at seven seconds over the 30-minute mark, and featured unusually long pauses between its tracks to help pad that time.

Under pressure from Bogart to write a defining anthem, Paul Stanley came up with the chorus for "Rock and Roll All Nite," to which Gene Simmons added a section from a song he wrote, successfully filling their label's mandate.

KISS
is an American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972. Easily identified by its members' trademark face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid and late-1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, and pyrotechnics. Kiss has been awarded 24 gold albums to date.The band has sold over 85 million albums to date.

The original lineup of Paul Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Peter Criss (drums, percussion and vocals) is the most successful and identifiable. With their makeup and costumes, they took on the personae of comic book-style characters: The Demon (Simmons), Starchild (Stanley), Spaceman (Frehley), and Catman (Criss). The band explains that the fans were the ones who ultimately chose their makeup designs. The 'Demon' makeup reflected Gene's cynicism and dark elements, as well as his love for comic books. Paul Stanley became the 'Starchild' due to his tendency to be referred to as the 'starry-eyed lover' and 'hopeless romantic.' Ace Frehley's 'Spaceman' makeup was a reflection of him wanting to go for a ride in a space ship and supposedly being from another planet. Peter Criss' 'Catman' makeup was in accordance with the belief that Peter had nine lives due to his rough childhood in Brooklyn. Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley were out of the group by 1982. The band's commercial fortunes had also waned considerably by that point.

In 1983, Kiss abandoned its makeup and enjoyed a commercial resurgence throughout the rest of the decade. Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup (with makeup) in 1996. The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide/Lost Cities/Reunion Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997. Criss and Frehley have since left Kiss again and have been replaced by Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, respectively. The band continues to perform with makeup, while Stanley and Simmons have remained the only two constant members.

KISS is regarded as one of the most influential rock and roll bands of all-time. Their career milestones are staggering. KISS holds honors as one of America’s top gold record champions, recording 36 albums over 32 years selling over 85 million albums worldwide.

Over thirty years of record-breaking tours around the globe include high-profile appearances at Super Bowl XXXIII, the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and most recently, the 2005 Rockin’ The Corps concert dedicated to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The KISS legacy continues to grow, generation after generation, transcending age, race and creed. The unparalleled devotion and loyalty of the KISS Army to the “Hottest Band in the World” is a striking testament to the band’s unbreakable bond with its fans.
