I think he learned about Kiss from an episode of Scooby Doo or something. Anyway, he couldn't stop singing "Rock n' Roll All Nite," so I got him this. It's a good mix; I will confess that I will often grab it from his room and play it while I'm cleaning the house.

A Great Collection But..

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023

Like so many "Best of" or "Greatest Hits" collections it's missing some tracks that would have made it even better. The songs I'm talking about in this case are "Shout it out Loud", "Shock Me", "Christine Sixteen", and "Got to Choose". Three of which made it on the recent "Very Best of Kiss" and more recent "Best of Kiss".

So Many Great Tracks To Choose From!

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021

Most people remember Kiss for their big radio hits, such as "Beth" or "Hard Luck Woman" or "Rock And Roll All Night." Those songs are on this album for sure! But I want to point out that Kiss was not just a comic book supergroup. They played real, legitimate hard rock and even their lesser known tracks are classics. My favorite songs on this album are not the big hits. I prefer songs like "Deuce," "Cold Gin," "100,000 Years," and also "Firehouse" and "Making Love."

Keep in mind that with the masks on or off these guys could rock just as hard as groups like Mountain, Nazareth, Foghat, Ted Nugent, or even Lynyrd Skynyrd. The only difference is that the Kiss guys found a marketing gimmick which made them the most famous rock band in the world for about fifteen minutes in 1977. The price they paid for that was to become a joke to most serious rock fans. But history has vindicated Kiss and Double Platinum is an album that reveals the real truth about who they were, beneath the mask.

For the older songs, there is no better Kiss hits package

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2014

One of the things I like about Kiss is that they never pretended to be anything other than capitalistic money grubbers. I find this more respectable than some bands that pretend they are about all about the art or all about being bad asses. At least you know Kiss is being honest with their view that they are professional (as in we get paid to do this!) and part of the game is making money. So, it's not surprising their hits have been repackaged in so many different hits packages.
Some of their greatest hits packages span their career and that's cool if you like the later stuff. For me, the earlier stuff is better. However, it is well known their first few studio albums had major sound quality issues. The tracks seem weak and don't have any punch although the songs are killer. Correcting this is the one of the reasons Alive was released. Some reviewers have commented that DP has remixes and they don't like it. I like the DP mixes because, in many cases, they sound better than the originals to me. If the DP songs still sound weak to you, try Greatest or The Very Best which are more robust and raucous. However, Greatest and The Very Best compilations are missing some really good older songs that appear on DP. Overall, if you like Kiss' early output, DP is likely going to have the best song selection for you.

KISS DOUBLE PLATINUM

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

Double Platinum is the first greatest hits album by the American hard rock band Kiss.
Many of the songs on Double Platinum were remixed and significantly differ from their original versions. In the case of "Strutter," it was re-recorded with a slight disco beat and dubbed as "Strutter '78." Other songs ("Hard Luck Woman," "Detroit Rock City") had sections completely removed, while the beginning of "Black Diamond" was repeated at the end, fading out at the start of the first verse and giving the song a "wrap around" feel. Sean Delaney stated that it took eleven days to remix and re-edit the songs.
The original vinyl release, in a gatefold-sleeve, had an embossed, silver-foiled sleeve, with the band members in bas-relief inside. The album was packaged with a printed "Platinum Award" thanking the Kiss Army for making the band a "Double Platinum Success". Later reissues would retain the gatefold-sleeve but replaced the logo with a printed, red-type version and the band members were now represented inside by photos rather than the bas illustrations. When the album was remastered for CD in the US it mimicked the original vinyl.
The album was certified Platinum on May 16, 1978 by the RIAA.[1] Ironically it never reached Double Platinum status. In Canada it was certified Gold on June 1, 1978 after selling 50,000 copies

This was my first Rock Album, at the time I was so young I didn't realize it was a best of compilation I just thought every song they did was brilliant. As I got older and started to get more serious about collecting I was glad to go back and get the original albums and the new stuff, but this was always my definitive KISS album and still is for me. This was a real nice package, where the packaging folds out like the original LP. Very glad to have this back in the collection.

Decidí comprar éste cd solo al ver que bajó de precio y porque era de los pocos que me faltaban de KISS, aunque al principio estaba indeciso pues en una de las fotos de la descripción aparecía en el reverso el logo de KISS modificado para Alemania (el cual no me gusta nada) y sin poder guiarme por alguna reseña con imagenes que me ayudara entonces me resigné a tenerlo en edición cd estándar con el logo alemán y cual fue mi sorpresa cuando me llegó lo que nunca me había imaginado después de tanto tiempo de no haberlo comprado cuando lo vi por primera vez y creer que ya nunca lo podría conseguir: la edición plateada en digipak. Ahora si me sorprendieron, gracias.

Seit Weihnachten 1975 war ich Dank meiner Mutter zunächst KISS-Fan, also nicht ‘der ersten Stunde‘ aber Immerhin recht Früh. Ich bin Jahrgang 1964, kann mich bis 1968 Zurückerinnern, Musik wurde mir ab 1969 Wichtig jedoch Begann es mit den Soundtracks der Karl May Verfilmungen und wurde dann mit einer Single 1970 Rockig: Led Zeppelin‘s ‘Whole Lotta Love‘ deren Text ich noch garnicht Verstand .... meine erste Schulstunden English hatte ich ab der 5. Klasse (1974) und nach LED Zeppelin kamen dann noch Black Sabbath und Derp Purple in mein Blickfeld, eigene Musikplatten konnte ich mir noch nicht Leisten, und meine Mutter hörte meist the Beatles oder die Presswurst und ansonsten eher Schlager - wie auch mein Erzeuger...
1974 begann ich ein Werbeblatt auszutragen und von einem Automatenufsteller kaufte ich dann Singles die er aus seinen Jukeboxen Aussortiert hatte, 5/6 Stück für 10 Mark in einer Wundertüte, was mir Gefiel behielt ich - der Rest landete ab 1975 auf dem Flohmarkt ... doch nicht alles ließ sich dort Verkaufen ... KISS kannte kein Mensch in Lüneburg und ich wurde Ihre Singles nicht los ... kurz vor Weihnachten also schaute meine Mutter meine Singles durch und da ich von KISS 3 hatte Dachte Sie ich würde die sehr mögen ... Tapfer wollte Sie mir ein Album gönnen, kaufte dann “Alive!“ weil das Doppelalbum nur 2 Mark mehr kostete als ein Einzelnes (die Preise waren damals Festgeschrieben: je Single 6 Mark, Lp‘s 22 Mark, Dolp‘s 24 Mark) und so kam ich zu “Alive!“ und das war ein Bärendienst für KISS denn damit Eroberten Sie mein Herz im Sturm!
Dann kam das Jahr 1978, KISS waren in Europa noch längst keine großen Stars, hatten 6 Studio- und 2 Livedoppel-Alben Veröffentlicht die jedoch noch immer als Geheimtips galten ...
In den USA sah es da Anders aus, dort Gehörten Sie seit “Alive!“ zur Elite und Verkauften jeden Release auf Platinniveau ...
1978 also, die Band wollte eine kleine Auszeit nehmen um sich um Soloprojekte zu kümmern und brachte Ihre Erste Best-of-Zusammenstellung mit einigen Remixen als Doppelabum auf den Markt, eben das Vorliegende “Double Platinum“!
Dieses enthielt die drei (US-Radio) Hits “Beth“ (1976), “Hard luck woman“ (1976) und “Detroit Rock City“ (1976), viele mittlerweile Populäre Songs wie “Strutter ‘78“ (Ursprünglich 1974 auf dem Denut der Eröffnungstitel, hier jedoch in einem Tanzbaren Remix), “Love Gun“, “Parasite“ oder “She“; und was man Ausmachen konnte war das die Band. Immer mehr Versuchte sich Weiterzentwickeln, hinzu kam das 3 der 4 Originalmitglieder als Leadsänger hervortaten, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss und Paul Stanley und auch das vierte Mitglied, ACE Frehley machte dann 1977 erste Gehversuche (“Shock me“ auf ‘Love Gun‘ und “Rocket Ride“ auf den Bonustracks von ‘Alive II‘ wurden jedoch Beide Sträflich Vernachlässigt/nicht Berücksichtigt... was für alle 5 Studiobonustracks gilt /: Lediglich aber für “Larger than Life“ Schade ist)
Ich hatte für die CD-Wiederveröffentlichung der “The Remasters“-Serie 1997 Gehofft aus dem einstigen Doppelalbum würde nun eine DoppelCD Werden, dem war jedoch Leider nicht so, vielleicht kommt das ja noch zum X-ten Jubiläum? Verdient hätten es so einige Nummern die Heute zu den Klassikern der Bandhistorie Gehören wie eben Butter auf Butterbrote aber dass müsste wohl eher die Band Entscheiden ...
Jedenfalls: die Compilation IST Definitiv eine sehr Gute Erinnerung an die Jugend und allemal Wichtiger als z. B. Queen‘s Greatest Hits Ramsch und wenn Heute Jemand KISS für sich ‘Entdecken‘ will ist “Double Platinum“ notHeute der Richtige Einstieg ... die Chartplatzierungen 1978, 1998, 2014 und 2019 machen dies Klar - die erzBest Of und fast auch die Beste ...
