About This Collection

This collection brings together two substantial Japanese KISS double albums from 1977 and 1978, comprising a total of four vinyl records.

Alive II is the 1977 Japanese Casablanca VIP-9529-30 edition. Its first three sides feature live material, while the fourth side adds studio recordings including “All American Man,” “Rockin' In The USA,” “Larger Than Life” and “Rocket Ride.”

Double Platinum followed in 1978 and provides a different overview of the band’s 1970s catalogue. This copy is the Japanese Casablanca VIP-9549-50 second issue, complete with its OBI and lyrics insert.

There is some intentional overlap between the two albums, with songs including “Detroit Rock City,” “Love Gun,” “Calling Dr. Love,” “God Of Thunder,” “Beth,” “I Want You” and “Makin' Love” appearing across the two releases. However, the albums serve different purposes: Alive II focuses primarily on KISS as a live act, while Double Platinum is a compilation drawn from their recorded catalogue.

Both are Japanese 2LP gatefold editions with OBI and insert, making them a visually and thematically cohesive KISS collection.
