Calling Dr. Love: KISS Plan Singles Box Set

You could ask, after a remixed reissue of their most enduring studio album and a new album – their 20th – released last month, what else KISS could possibly release this year. And, because it’s KISS, you’d likely have an answer.

This year, that answer is a 28-disc box replicating every single they released on Casablanca Records during their first eight years together. From debut single “Nothin’ to Lose” and first charting tune “Kissin’ Time” to hits like “Rock and Roll All Nite,” “Beth,” “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” and “Love Gun,” The Casablanca Singles captures all those original A and B-sides.

The Casablanca Singles will also feature replicas of picture sleeves from the U.S., Europe and Japan, recreated label artwork, a booklet “track[ing] the genesis and chart history of each single represented in the package” and four masks of Paul Stanley’s Starchild, Ace Frehley’s Spaceman, Gene Simmons’ Demon and Peter Criss’ Catman makeup. Additionally, the box will be available on both CD and vinyl, with four of the band’s solo singles (from the infamous 1978 solo albums) pressed on colored vinyl.

Look for The Casablanca Singles in stores on December 4, order the CD versions from Amazon U.S. and Amazon U.K., and hit the jump for the full disc breakdown.
