CDs 4-5 highlight 26 incredible, soundboard live recordings from the Creatures '82/'83 Tour and 7 rare tour sound effects, all recorded and archived by the Creatures Tour sound engineer Harry Witz. The Blu-Ray Audio disc showcases a first-ever Atmos and 5.1 surround mix, plus the high-resolution newly remastered 1982 stereo mix of the original album. An 80-page book includes extensive liner notes, rare posters, imagery and prints, a track-by-track newspaper and much more!
Easily their best since 1977's Love Gun, Creatures of the Night contains very little filler and sounds as if Kiss had been reborn (it also includes one of the heaviest drum sounds ever captured in the studio by any rock band). The band is inspired and enthusiastic throughout... one of Kiss' most underrated.
