  1. My favorite originals studio album.
    Saw them on this tour at MSG in Feb of 1977

    Not a collector but some of the items look interesting.
    Almost $500 for the super duper package is insane – will wait to see some Kiss fan show it on You Tube

    As for the album – Paul’s songs really shine on here – Mr Speed is a song that flew under the radar.
    Like seeing Peter having 2 songs and Ace’s guitar work is solid – love the Dr Love Solo.

  2. Gene $immon$ can’t seem to stop talking about Ace Frehley’s and Peter Criss’ substance diseases….Based on the price of this anniversary set, Gene’s disease is greed. Shame on you , Gene, for trying to pickpocket your “bosses’ ” wallets.
