Kiss are celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Alive!” with an expanded version of the album.
Original Alive! producer Eddie Kramer has spent over a month and a half working on the collection.
"It's a project I spent 46 days mixing," Kramer explained. "It's called Kiss Alive! 50, which is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Alive! album, which was mixed at Electric Lady in 1975, you know, 50 years ago. Fortunately, they found all the bloody tapes, thank God! It was incredible."
The original album, was recorded at four different shows in 1975, and the band also recorded their daytime rehearsals,
"I mixed every single show that actually contributed to the final one plus all the rehearsals that Gene and Paul said 'we gotta record in the afternoon,' which they did thank God because we were able to capture some fantastic performances," Kramer added. "But what you hear during this period is that those guys were serious about getting this record out and making it sound fantastic. And then I mixed the final album in Dolby Atmos, so it's a beautiful package that's coming out, I think, late fall."
