DESCRIPTION:
Ralph Viera (Dr.Fukk) from the band Thrash Or Die (http://www.facebook.com/thrashordie.fl) reviews Dressed To Kill. The third studio album by American hard rock band Kiss, released in 1975. It was produced by Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart, as the financial situation of the label at the time did not allow the hiring of a professional producer.
Dressed to Kill was re-released in 1997 in a remastered version. Possibly due to the short length of the album, original vinyl versions had long pauses between each track to create the illusion that the sides were longer than they were. Each side ran just fifteen minutes, and some of the times of the songs were incorrect on the vinyl versions. For example, "Two Timer" was listed at 2:59 and "Ladies in Waiting" was listed at 2:47.

While the album cover depicts Kiss in business suits, the only member of the band who actually owned one was Peter Criss. The suits worn on the cover by the rest of the band were owned by manager Bill Aucoin. The original vinyl release of the album also had the Kiss logo embossed around the picture.
Dressed to Kill peaked at #32 on the US charts and was certified gold by the RIAA on February 28, 1977. "C'mon and Love Me", "She" and "Rock and Roll All Nite" were released as singles. Both failed to rise up the charts until "Rock and Roll All Nite" was released in its live format as a single later that year off their live album Alive! and reached #12 on the singles charts.

"Rock and Roll All Nite" is one of Kiss' most well known songs and remains a permanent staple in the band's concerts since 1975. Despite all the attention the song now has, it was not quite famous at all upon its original release on Dressed to Kill. Only after it was released as a single on Alive!, did the song become a well known hit. There are several other songs that are still played from Dressed to Kill, such as "Rock Bottom", "C'mon and Love Me" and "She".
