Album Notes
The box set was originally going to be a 4 CD set featuring 80 songs. During September the set grew to 5 CD's with some 100 songs (ring any bells about changing/growing KISS related box sets. The box included a 120 page book and be available in two formats, a regular box, and a reproduction guitar case which is 19x9.5" with fur type lining, similar to Fender guitar case.
In the years prior to its release the KISS "Box Set" was hyped, particularly by Gene Simmons, as going to be the "Mother of all box sets." KISS fans debate whether this was actually the case with the product that was eventually released in November 2001. The most notable exclusion from the box were the 1977 demos Gene recorded with the then unknown Van Halen brothers, but there were surprises too in the form of the Bell Sound Studios 1973 demos and "Dontcha Hesitate." Some of the odd errors in the book that accompany the box are detailed.
