Kiss - Double Platinum

Ok as I said in a previous post I wouldn't typically review a greatest hits album however this one is one of my earliest purchases of a rock album, Kiss "Double Platinum" released in 1978. I remember being about 11 years old and going to the local flea market with my dad. There was a little record booth where i intended to buy a Kiss album. A neighbor had gotten me into them and I wanted to get to know their music for myself. It may have been the only album the store had that day Ijust remember it being the first one I was haned by the guy that worked there. It was a two cassette set which I still have. I took it home and I don't think it left my walkman for quite a while. I was instantly hooked by the lyrics and great grooves all the songs had. I was immediately in love with tracks like "Strutter", "Cold Gin", "Beth", "100,000 Years", "Detroit Rock City" and "Black Diamond". Other big Kiss hits on this album are "God of Thunder", "Hard Luck Woman", "Duece", "Love Gun", "Rock n Roll All Nite" and "Calling Dr. Love" among others. I often think this is the best Kiss hits collection out there. It is an incredible memory of my youth.
