GENE SIMMONS / KISS / PAUL STANLEY / REMASTER / UNRELEASED / WICKED LESTER (pre Kiss)

WICKED LESTER (pre Kiss) – The Unreleased Remastered Tapes *Only at 0dayrox*

Now we are bringing a great one for collectors and KISS fans: the album recorded in the ’70s by WICKED LESTER, the Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons band before they became KISS; “The Unreleased Remastered Tapes“.
The group was formed in 1970 in New York under the name “Rainbow”. Two notable members were bassist Gene Klein and rhythm guitarist Paul Eisen. In 1971, the band changed their name to Wicked Lester and recorded an album for Epic Records, which was never officially released. The recording of this session appeared in a contraband form / bootleg called “The Original Wicked Lester Session”.
But… when KISS was putting their 5-disc release ‘The Box Set’ in 2001, the original plan was to release the entire Wicked Lester album on there. That idea was scrapped and only a WICKED LESTER songs appeared into ‘The Box Set’.
However, the entire album was remastered before minds were changed. We now have the complete album in the best quality EVER!

KISS – Destroyer [45th anniversary Super Deluxe Edition 4xCD] (2021)

Get up! Everybody gonna move their feet and leave their seat for a new deluxe edition of KISS’ signature studio album ”Destroyer”, available November 19. Following the success of the double concert album Alive! in 1975, which introduced the world at large to the hard-rockin’ quartet in black and white facepaint and out-there stage costumes, ”Destroyer” was polished to perfection by producer Bob Ezrin. The group added layers of unique craft to these songs, from string sections to sound effects – and Ezrin’s unconventional methods (later compared to “musical boot camp” by lead singer Paul Stanley) enhanced their musicality.
This “Destroyer [45th anniversary Super Deluxe Edition 4xCD]” is packed with audio extras – many previously unreleased – and plenty of ephemera for KISS Kollectors.
Alongside the remastered album, three bonus discs offer demos from Stanley and Simmons’ archives, a jam-packed offering of outtakes and single edits (including a new acoustic mix of “Beth” and the long-coveted “Ain’t None of Your Business,” the first song cut during the album sessions), and a previously unreleased live concert taken from the Olympia Theatre in Paris…

KISS – The Solo Albums ; Gene Simmons [Japan SHM-CD remastered Limited Numbered] Out Of Print

These have been requested several times; the 1978 KISS ‘solo albums’ from each band member in its Japan SHM-CD pressing. Many of you reported finding fake SHM-CD rips all over the net, so here’s the real deal, the numbered limited edition of each including full artwork.
For “Gene Simmons” the KISS Army was waiting for a down-n-dirty, rumbling metal monster, but while Gene’s album some of KISS style hard rock (“Radioactive”), there’s Beatle-esque acoustic noodling (“Mr. Make Believe” and “See You Tonight”) and a orchestrated string songs and other studio trickery…

KISS – Best Of Solo Albums [Japan Hi-Res MQA-CD UHQCD / DSD remaster 2020] *EXCLUSIVE*

Universal Music Japan has released few months ago a High Resolution disc (MQA-CD + UHQCD) of KISS “Best Of Solo Albums“, a 2020 DSD remaster based on the original analog tape converted to 352.8kHz / 24bit.
The compilation was never released in North America, so here it’s quite a rarity. Seems there never has been an official CD release either. Any CD would be a bootleg, until now: this Japanese is an official Universal Music release.
“Best Of Solo Albums“ is a really must have addition to your collection, even if you have all the solo albums: Paul Stanley’s “Take Me Away (Together As One)” is featured here in its complete version (not fade out like on the actual solo album), the intro to Peter Criss “I Can’t Stop The Rain” is louder in the mix, etc.
Excellent sound quality.

KISS – Double Platinum [Japan Hi-Res (MQA x UHQCD) Limited Release remaster 2020]

Universal Music Japan has released a couple months ago a High Resolution disc (MQA-CD + UHQCD) of KISS essential album “Double Platinum“, a 2020 DSD master based on US original analog tape converted to 352.8kHz / 24bit.
KISS’s first best compilation album summarizes the most representative songs from their first 6 original albums, but including a new recording “Strutter ’78” and other 9 songs in a newly re-mixed version.
KISS were cruising at high speed during their late-’70s heyday. The band’s label, Casablanca, decided to do things a little differently than it would to a standard greatest-hits package. Sean Delaney and Mike Stone remixed many of the tracks, peppering them with noticeable sonic tweaks.
