Kiss ‘Destroyer’ Box to Include Unreleased 1976 Paris Live Album
Kiss will release a four-disc expanded edition of Destroyer on Nov. 19, featuring a previously unreleased live album recorded during a 1976 show in Paris.
The box set will also include a newly remastered version of the original album, plus nine previously unreleased demos from Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, as well as a disc filled with alternate mixes, outtakes and single edits.
You can see an unboxing video for the Destroyer Super Deluxe edition below.
Also featured is a vast collection of photos, stickers, iron-ons, trading cards and flyers, along with a Destroyer tour program and a 66-page hardcover book with interviews with original band members Stanley, Simmons, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley.
A two-disc deluxe edition of the 45th anniversary reissue, featuring selected demos and live Paris tracks, will also be available.
Kiss recruited producer Bob Ezrin for Destroyer, hoping to improve upon the production quality of their first three studio efforts after breaking through to a mainstream audience with 1975's Alive! Ezrin put the band through a musical boot camp, then helped Kiss deliver their most sophisticated and polished effort to date.
The album ended up selling over two million copies, and songs such as "Detroit Rock City," "Shout It Out Loud" and "God of Thunder" remain mainstays of the band's live set.
