He y Jeffery, your KISS Kollection keeps getting bigger and better, my friend! That's a great addition and those vinyls look awesome in that beautiful blue color. Enjoy good sir, I'm living vicariously through you. Cheers to War Machine Live!!🤘🍻
The gatefold on that is INCREDIBLE, I just love the packaging on this LP. It could very well be the best cover art in the entire catalog, with the exception of Love Gun being slightly better, IMO. I didnt realize this was translucent blue, I thought it was a solid light blue, still very nice to see. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hey John I think it’s a very nice Jacket as well, just the right amount of both band photos and live photos to match the albums! I also thought it was a solid light blue as I mentioned in the video that I was surprised it wasn’t the picture is very deceiving but still a nice color! Take care and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family too buddy! ~ Jeff
Hey, Two amazing albums without a doubt and staples in any album collection for sure…have you ever listen to Carnival Of Souls? Another heavy album from KISS! Take care, I Appreciate you watching and commenting my friend! ~ Jeff
Hey Scott so awesome to hear from you brother! Thank you so much for your kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed seeing it and enjoy yours when you get It! Take care and talk to you soon! ~ Jeff!
Jeff, glad you got yours in mint condition, your lucky..I wish they would have packed mine in that kind of mailer! They shipped mine in a flimsy box and the jacket and booklet were smashed... urrgggghhh. If I just would have ordered the album by itself instead of the shirt and cd with it...live and learn I guess...
That’s still blow’s my mind that they wouldn’t send it in a mailer inside another box but thanks for the heads up, I looked at doing a bundle several times…glad I passed! Thanks so much for your comment, watching and your story! Take care my friend and talk soon…I’ll keep my eyes open for a copy! ~ Jeff
Hey Christin yes it is I just couldn’t resist, I knew I couldn’t hold out too long…LoL Great to hearing from you as always! Take care and talk soon! ~ Jeff
Fantastic intro Jeff. I was wondering if you grabbed this one. I noticed that they had vinyl day on one of the twelve days of Kissmas. They sold out instantly. The Kiss Alive II and Love Gun reissues sold out too. Man. This band means business. Forty five years later and they are still selling out all of their reissues. You have to salute the band for their incredible staying power. Love the color blue that they choose. That Rarities, Demos & Outtakes bonus is fantastic. Now do you have any of these from previous releases or bootlegs? I am not familiar with this period of Kiss. Actually I am not really familiar with many periods of Kiss. {smile} I am a LBL. {late bloomer listener}. That is one of the nicest pressings that I have seen so far. One looks alone I would give it an eleven. Please let me know how it sounds overall. Dynamite COTN 40th update Jeff. Hope to talk to you before Kissmas. I mean Christmas. Have a great weekend~ Rob/Boston
Good evening Rob! Yes a little late to the game on this one but at least I decided to get it before it sold out like all of their albums as you mentioned! I actually would have gotten the Alive II but by the time I saw the notification and got around to getting on it already had a sold out underneath it …my loss but I guess it wasn’t meant to be! I really would have kicked myself if after waiting 25 years for a vinyl release of Greatest KISS sold out before I could get my hands on it! I believe this is the wave of the future once they are done touring it will all be reissues, limited pressings, off the soundboard releases and KISS related merchandise along with the demos and rarities like on these anniversary releases but that’s just my opinion btw! I don’t believe I have any of the extras on this album but it appears that they put a lot of previously unreleased versions to set hook and real us in, I haven’t gotten a chance to listen and compare as of yet? A LBL or not I know you are still well versed when it comes to kiss and along with your knowledge of many other bands I’m jealous of all those concerts you attend with your cousin! I will definitely give you my opinion on this release once I sit down and give it a spin over my KISSmass holiday…I mean Christmas holiday, good one Rob! Thanks so much for watching and commenting buddy, always a great pleasure hearing from you! Take care, enjoy your weekend and yes Merry KISSmas to you and your family… talk to you soon! ~ Jeff
Hey Robert I just literally opened my copy yesterday and planning on listening to it this evening but glad to hear that you have good things to say about it! Appreciate your comment and watching as always, enjoy your weekend! Take care and talk to you soon! ~ Jeff
Hey Corey so nice of you to stop by to watch and comment, a favorite of mine as well! Hope you had a great Christmas! Take care, a very happy new year to you and your family! ~ Jeff
Hi Jeff. Awesome 3 LP set. It looks very nice. A nice new grail in your KISS collection. I wanted to order it too, but it was sold out. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. Take care. Cheers 🤘
Hey there Andy! Thank you so much my friend! Too bad about you not able to get this one Andy I know you and you would have enjoyed it as well as your half speed remastered but with the extra goodies! Take care, Cheers, Merry KISSmas and a very Happy and Healthy New Year! ~ Jeff
Hey Jeff, That is a beautiful looking album! I always love it when the album is packaged with a booklet featuring band members and some back stories. Good to see Vinny Vincent photo. The package definitely looks like it is KISS Army collector. ;) I am glad for you that you got it before they all sod out; congrats! Ahhh, the cat made the appearance... I am glad she likes it loud too. :) I am sure I will talk to you before Christmas but just in case, have a Merry Christmas Jeff! Take care and talk soon! ~NammaN~
Hey there NammaN! Yes it’s a very nice, well thought out album and always enjoy the books and awesome photos of the band members myself !!! I really think if they were doing a remastered reissue in 2022 like they did in 85’s reissue with Bruce on the cover they should have definitely done one already with Vinny’s picture on already as an alternative cover! Only complaints about this album is that the triple album takes up too much space in the collection…😂 I’m just kidding on that one LoL! Yes the cat is always at my side like a very loyal puppy and we get along great, always curious about what I’m listening to and I guess figures if there is a cat on my album covers the band can’t be all that bad nor can I…lol! Merry Christmas to you too sir and a very happy new year as well…talk to you soon I’m sure! Take care! ~ Jeff
Jeff ......you went all in. haha.Nice.....great lookin release. i threw the christmas gift suggestion out there....Lets see what happens. I picked up the I love it loud single 1st and picked up the album a week later back when they were released. Is that an OG single or reissue......great vid...Love your cat....stay awesome Brother.
Hey Lee yes almost all in, still didn’t pull the trigger on the super deluxe cd boxset but it’s still available and still in the back of my mind slowly working it’s way forward ! Awesome you have an original copy of both definitely a keeper, best of luck with the creatures suggestion for a Christmas gift! Thanks so much for your support and comment! Take care and talk soon

My favorite Kiss album. My Dad bought this and Van Halen's 1984 for me back in 84. I still think this one of their heaviest albums.
