Notes:
Another compilation, this time a third installment in Universal's "20th Century Masters" series, covering material released during the 1990s. The original release date of 10/10/06 was officially pushed back to 11/21/06, however the album was found in retail markets during October. Tracks 1, 2, and 4 are new masters, meaning they're louder than the original CD versions, in the case of 4 brutally so. While the "Psycho Circus" tracks are 1db less loud than the original versions they're clipped so badly to reduce the loudness. Whomever mastered those tracks should be ashamed of themselves. Track 3 is from the new remaster of "Alive III." Unfortunately, like previous releases, track 08 has the end of the song cut off for some reason and is clipped, though at least the mastering jobs on track 7 is better than that on the box set. Track 9 is an edit sans the "circus" introduction. Track 12 is also badly clipped compared to the box set and OST version. There's nothing new on here, but the package will be cheap, so those who didn't bother buying the "Box Set" or "DRC" can have "Got To Choose" (Unplugged) and "Nothing Can Keep Me From You."

This release also breaks the mould of the previous volumes in the series that featured material that was predominantly single/video supported. It includes oddities such as "Hate" and "Childhood Ends" off "Carnival Of Souls" instead of the singles: "Jungle" and "Master And Slave," though "Hate" was considered for release as a single at one point. Additionally, "Shout It Out Loud" (1996 Live) version is ommited. As "Greatest KISS" is now deleted from the US catalog the only source for this recording is the "Box Set." Oh well, silly me. Strange that a version of "Rock And Roll All Nite" couldn't be found from a 90s release to include on this album ;)

Tracks 16 & 17 bonus tracks for "Best Buy" marketing version (though currently it is not clear whether all copies were affected by an error that excludes the songs, even though they're listed as exclusive bonuses). Track 18 bonus for iTunes. The Japanese version is simply the domestic US package supplemented with a plain 40-page lyric booklet in Japanese and wrap-around obi.
