KISS: 'Alive!' Box Set Due In November

September 8, 2006

According to a posting at KissKollector.com, Universal Music will be releasing an "Alive!" box set featuring KISS' first three "Alive" albums (as released on Universal labels, whereas the latest "Alive IV"/"Kiss Symphony" album came out via Sanctuary Records) in November. The set will appearently be a four-disc box set, with the fourth disc expected to be the never-released, original "Alive IV" album that was once advertised back in 2000 and recorded when the band was still with Universal Music.

Recorded on New Year's Eve 1999/2000 at Vancouver's BC Place Concert Bowl in Canada, the original "Alive IV" was set for a March 28, 2000 release. However, it quickly got pushed back to April 18 before it got shelved indefinItely. Around that time, Paul Stanley stated in an online chat: "'Alive IV' will be out at some point. We missed our deadline and we're still in midst of it." The tracklisting back then was supposed to be as follows:

01. Psycho Circus
02. Shout It Out Loud
03. Deuce
04. Heaven's On Fire
05. Into The Void
06. Firehouse
07. Do You Love Me
08. Let Me Go Rock 'N' Roll
09. I Love It Loud
10. Lick It Up
11. 100,000 Years
12. Love Gun
13. Black Diamond
14. Beth
15. Rock and Roll All Nite

The Japanese edition of the album was also slated to include the bonus tracks "2000 Man", "God of Thunder" and "Detroit Rock City".

In other Universal Music news, the band's former label will release yet another KISS compilation album. Titled "Millennium Collection – 20th Century Masters Vol. 3", the album is set for an October 10 release and will obviously be the sequal to volumes 1 and 2.
