Kiss - Deluxe 'Love Gun' Reissue Due This Month


Legendary rockers KISS continue to celebrate their 40th anniversary with the release of a deluxe two-CD version of their 1977 platinum-plus album, Love Gun, which is coming out on October 27th, 2014 on Universal Music Enterprises (UMe). The band's sixth studio recording Love Gun was the first album to feature lead vocal performances from all four original band members, and has since gone on to sell more than four million copies.

The two-CD edition will include the complete re-mastered first album, featuring such classics as the title track, "Plaster Caster," the song inspired by Cynthia Plaster Caster, the groupie famous for taking casts of rock star genitalia; "Shock Me," written about Ace Frehley suffering an electric shock during a concert in Lakeland, Florida; "Christine Sixteen," and "Then She Kissed Me," the band's cover of The Crystals' 1963 hit penned by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector.

The second disc is made up of rare, never released Love Gun demos. "Reputation," the only previously released demo, was originally included on this year's KISS 40 compilation.

Also included is a 1977 interview with Gene Simmons, as well as three never-available live tracks from their show at the Capitol Centre, Landover, MD from December 20th, 1977, "Love Gun," "Christine Sixteen" and "Shock Me." The package comes with liner notes especially written by Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, currently on tour with KISS.

You can pre-order here if you want it.
