KISS have announced a series of releases to mark their 40th anniversary.
On April 1, KISS will release the first batch of 10 individual remastered albums on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl – with 18 more vinyl titles coming through the first half of 2014.
In May, fans can look forward to a 2-CD compilation, "KISS 40", with one track from every major album release, live selections and an unreleased demo (“Reputation”) from 1977.
KISS will also release the limited-edition (1000 copies) vinyl box set, “KISSTERIA – The Ultimate Vinyl Road Case”, featuring 34 LPs including titles never-before issued on vinyl, six exclusive albums to the box set and a bunch of collectibles only available in the package, which is available exclusively for D2C pre-order at www.kissteria.kissonline.com.
On April 10, the original lineup of KISS will be inducted into the Rock Hall along with Nirvana, Peter Gabriel, Hall and Oates, Cat Stevens and Linda Ronstadt; the ceremony will be held at New York’s Barclays Center and HBO will record the event for broadcast in May.
