Alive II

A must have for music fans of the 70’s decade! Kiss at their peak! Great songs!

I absolutely love this 2-LP set of KISS "Alive II". When I discovered KISS growing up from my father's music collection, Alive II (on vinyl) was actually the second KISS album I ever heard (the first was the Smashes Thrashes & Hits compilation on CD - and that's where my near KISS obsession began). Given my special history with this album, I knew I had to have it on vinyl (just like everything else KISS). However, I kept putting it off because of the price tag. Low and behold when I had earned the gift card from one of my loyalty programs, I splurged it on this album and one other (Carnival of Souls). I took this album for a spin and kind of kicked myself that I hadn't bought it sooner. This sounds so much better than my father's copy (which is probably about as old as I am). I love that they kept every detail of the sleeve (both inner and outer), booklet, and temporary tattoo sheet the same as they had for the original issues (even though dad's copy no longer had the tattoos or booklet). Even though the price is a little high, it's worth getting. 5 out of 5 stars and a high recommendation from me!

great album thank you

Awesome album

Todo ok

I don't need to review the music itself. This review pertains to the quality of the 2014 vinyl reissues in general. Some people love them. Some people hate them. I fall into the previous camp. I love the mastering and packaging of these releases. Including the booklets,stickers,posters, and tattoos with these releases really ups the desirability. People have complained about the price,but to find an original issue with all the original inserts in mint condition is almost always more $ than any of these releases. As for the mastering,some dislike what is called "smiley face EQ" (boosting the highs and lows) but I always felt the Kiss catalog was a bit mid-rangey anyway. Comparing to my original pressings or 1970's repressings of these albums, I always prefer the 2014 versions. and every one of these 2014 LPs I own is pressed on dead quiet,flat vinyl. If your looking to build your Kiss vinyl collection and don't want to spend time and money on finding original pressings baby baby don'tcha hesitate to grab these records. great sound. great package. great band

One of the greatest albums of all time.

Happy camper thanks

GREAT

Io ho conosciuto i Kiss da ragazzino con questo disco..poi tutto il resto, era diventato trasparente il doppio vinile di allora a furia di ascoltarlo...certo tra tutti gli Alive di loro è forse il meno "potente" ma riascoltarlo pulito fa sempre venire i brividi. Amazon perfetto in tempi e precisione

Auch meine Erstausgabe, die ich mir als Platte ca. 1982 gekauft hatte, war schon recht gut im Klang. Diese Neuausgabe von 2014 toppt aber alles. Da kommt die CD-Version nicht ganz mit. Auf der Vinyl-Version werden sämtliche Feinheiten deutlich, der Bass klingt und fühlt sich wärmer an und insbesondere der Bass-Sound von Gene Simmons kommt etwas knackiger daher, vor allem bei "Shock me" zu hören. Eigentlich war ich ein Fan von CD-Ausgaben, jedoch sind einige (nicht alle) Vinyl-Varianten hörbar besser im Sound, auch wenn man keine Highend-Anlage im 5 stelligen Preissegment sein eigen nennt. Bei mir tuts ein Denon DP 450 als Plattenspieler angeschloßen an eine Panasonic-Mini-Anlage mit Technics Soundchip. Als KISS-Fan sollte man sich unbedingt Alive! und Alive II als Vinyl-Version besorgen.

Básico el alive 1 y 2 para cualquier fna de Kiss el sonido es tal cual el máster original no suena como el alive 1 pero así se realizó originaente ,recomendable

Incredible package. From the cover and inserts. To the LP's themselves. Worthy addition to any KISS collection. Been replacing all my original KISS Vinyl from the 70s and 80s from Amazon Canada.
