Lick It Up: "KISS 40" to Include Rare Live Tracks, Unreleased Demo

March 21, 2014 By Mike Duquette 2 Comments

KISS in EnglandWith an impending Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, a co-headlining tour with Def Leppard and a vinyl reissue campaign all on the horizon, the time seems right for KISS to remind fans of their four decades of rockin' and rollin' all night (and partying every day). On May 27, they'll do just that with KISS 40, a new two-disc anthology of their hits.

As previously promised, KISS 40 features one track from each of their studio and live albums, as well as tracks from each of the original band members' 1978 solo albums and compilation cuts ("Strutter '78" from Double Platinum, "Down on Your Knees" from 1982's Killers, "Let's Put the X in Sex" from 1988's Smashes, Thrashes & Hits and "Nothing Can Keep Me from You" from the KISS-heavy soundtrack to 1999's Detroit Rock City).

It wouldn't be a KISS compilation without something for the hardcore fans. In this case, it's an unreleased demo from 1977, "Reputation," as well as three hard-to-find live cuts from various non-retail KISS sets between 2004 and 2010.

KISS 40 can be pre-ordered after the jump, where you'll also find the track list.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    I was discharged from the Kiss Army years ago ... don't understand why we need more Kiss anthologies?
