    First off there are trimmed down LP & CD packages but you are not going to get everything at a trimmed down price no band is going to do that .

    Secondly,

    I preordered the colored vinyl 3 LP set which is rare for me normally I am against these rerelease cash grabs (but I did finally grab my Greatest KISS in April of 2021 that many of us diehard fans could not get b/c the 2014 remaster of that was very limited in it's release to the public and went for anywhere from 1K-3K depending on the seller )for my vinyl collection the only one I was missing as I made my own KISS vinyl boxset myself aka the road case.

    Third,
    To any EVENT back to Creatures rereleases so considering that I have my 2014 remastered still sealed and the outtakes , demos included early versions of Legend Tonight, On Your Knees, Nowhere to Run, It's My life and many others so I do not have to continue to play my Holland original pressing of KILLERS any longer or open my 2014 remaster. The soundboard of I love It Loud sounds surprisingly good and the outtake of Betrayed I really enjoyed as well. Glad we are getting the demos, outtakes here and some of the live cuts with this rerelease on vinyl this go around unlike Destroyer where I believe vinyl collectors did not get the live soundboard stuff on vinyl to my knowledge but I could be wrong her so if I am my apologies ahead of time.

    Pricing – KISSonlineshop (USA Store Only)

    Super Deluxe CD Boxset is around $300 plus taxes & shipping (current deal is the T'shirt included for $297.00)
    Colored Vinyl 3-LP release is $73 w/ taxes and shipping included

    For the money the colored vinyl 3-LP set is not a bad deal, this is Paul's best vocal album and the album has aged surprising well considering it was a colossal failure at the time of its release along w/ the supporting tour as the band was in total flux following ACE leaving KISS for his own solo work and his substance abuse issues it has despite all of that years later it has emerged as kind of a cult following with the KISS diehard community.

    Vinny Vincent saved KISS at the time of this release and on Lick it Up as well after well we all know the story of how Vinny behaved, acted etc.. so I will let you all formulate your own opinions there in however make no mistake & give credit where it is due to Vinny on this album and Lick it Up saved KISS for a few years anyway. Lastly we finally get to hear some Vinny Vincent live cuts & Eric Carr on an official release (not into bootlegs here) is a must for any KISS fan.

    Will be interesting to see what cuts we get from Lick it Up and maybe some Mark St. John leftover vault stuff from Animalize as well if there is anything left in the vault from those sessions (Mark St. John specifically) there has to be some live cuts no doubt quality would be the biggest issue I suppose.

    I had boycotted all KISS items since 2013 (cos they don't release new albums anymore) but looks like my boycott is about to end. I'll be getting the triple album set (Blue vinyl).
    Creatures is my favorite KISS album.

    This is totally awesome! "Creatures Of The Night" is my favorite KISS album ever. The late drummer Eric Carr would be happy about this. .I am 100% going to buy this! This was their heaviest KISS album ever and it deserves this deluxe treatment in my opinion. I am over the moon happy about this coming release!! I happen to not think its overkill especially since I collected all the Black Sabbath, Ozzy, and Venom super deluxe boxset editions and just loved the hell out of everything! This set of collectibles inside is much rarer too than the 70's KISS collectibles. Many "Creatures Of The Night" era photos and related stuff vanished back when it came out and is going for ridiculous amounts on EBay. I for one am ecstatic about this box set!!!!

    Pew-ordered the deluxe cd and standard LP. Creatures is by far my favorite Kiss album just ahead of HTH. Been patiently waiting for this. Next up…Lick it Up

    Yes I want the cds!! I was at the Houston show. Had 3rd row seat. It was a awesome show. The Plasmatics opened up for KISS. SSad thing about that tour. KISS had to cut the tour short because KISS wasn't selling enough tickets at alot of their shows.

    There was a time I would fall for these deluxe sets, now I look at these ads like a recovering addict would and all I can do is shake my head. Too much fluff I'll never listen to, pure overkill. The main record is enough for me. I'll contribute the money I save into my IRA.

    All those live recordings, all those ways Vinnie Vincent can butcher Ace’s guitar solos.
    I would be interested in some of the live recordings but deposing every bit of ephemera to bump the price up is classic Kiss!

    YouTube commenters: yuck! What a ripoff! Same stuff being repackaged. Typical Kiss money grabbing….
    Same commenters: oh look! Another reissue of Sgt.Pepper! Shut up and take my money!

    I found the Destroyer box to be a wasted opportunity for KISS, therefore I didn't buy that. There are better live recordings than what they released, rare tracks that were already released on their first box set, some other demos that are available online which wouldn"t make it worth it (for me personally) and then 5LBS of paper junk that I would have cared about when I was 15yrs old, but not now. Not to mention that said box costs more than the Let It Be box and Tattoo You box. Excuse me, but KISS should never cost more than Beatles or Stones…EVER! Haha. So for me, I wondered "do I need to buy Destroyer yet again?" The answer was "no." I can't tell you how much I loved KISS growing up. To this day, I'm always interested in what they're doing but I have stopped worrying about having everything. As important an album Destroyer is for KISS, it is my least played make-up era KISS album these days.
    Anyways, this is about Creatures.
    I am more inclined to fork out the money on this Creatures box set simply because I saved my money on Destroyer. Besides buying Tokyo Soundboard (because of the rare lineup) and the 77' Sounboard, from Des Moines, I haven't spent more than $10.00CDN on a KISS product, since KISSOLOGY, which was worth the money at the time, in my opinion.
    If it turns out that this set costs the same as Destroyer, I will likely get it. I find this one more interesting than anything they could possibly release as a box, post-Creatures. They never recorded an album as strong afterwards. I didn't always feel that way but I do today. Take 3 of the best songs from the next three albums and you might match Creatures. …dammit, I'm off topic again!
    Okay, you know what? Fuck, I don't know!
    Yes.
    No.
    Maybe…
    …I kind of want this one. I haven't burnt myself out on Creatures and it is a major high point musically while the band was trying to save themselves. You know the story…

    I dont know Barry but this is a Band I never warmed up to. I thought Paul's voice is too shreeky, this box looks like overkill and something Gene would like in his $$$ trunk, after all money is first on his agenda. The Album itself, is one of the better ones, two of the solo albums, Peter Criss came out quite good and so did Paul Stanley not interested in Ace Frehley or Gene Simmons whom I really do not like.
