The newly-available package features a remastered version of the album alongside a mix of demos, rarities and outtakes, a series of live soundboard recordings from the Creatures ‘82/’83 Tour, as well as and seven super rare tour sound effects, all recorded and archived by the Creatures Tour sound engineer Harry Witz.
The Blu-ray Audio disc showcases a first-ever Atmos and 5.1 surround mix from the original album multi-tracks plus the high-resolution newly remastered 1982 stereo mix of the original album, while the package also features an extensive array of bonus collectible KISS memorabilia and ephemera.
KISS’ tenth album, which featured “I Love It Loud” and “War Machine”, followed the disappointing reception for 1981’s concept album, “Music From The Elder”, by reversing a downward sales trend when it reached No. 45 on the US Billboard 200.
Multiple editions are now available of the 40th anniversary package, including a 5-CD + Blu-ray Audio Super Deluxe Edition, 3-LP Deluxe, 2-CD Deluxe, 1-LP Half-Speed Master 180gm, 1-CD Remaster, as well as a 5-CD Super Deluxe Edition Digital Download + Streaming and 2-CD Digital Download-only version plus a color vinyl exclusive.
