Overview Edit

Dressed to Kill is a 1975 album from American hard rock group Kiss. It is the band's third studio album and is unique for having been produced by the president of Casablanca Records, Neil Bogart.

"C'mon and Love Me", and "Rock and Roll All Nite" were released as singles. Both failed to rise high on the charts until "Rock and Roll All Nite" was released in its live format as a single later that year off their double live album Alive! and reached number 12 on the singles charts.

The album was re-released in 1997 (along with most of Kiss' earlier albums) in a remastered version.

It peaked at number 32 on the charts and was certified Gold on February 28, 1977, when it sold 500,000 copies.

While the album cover depicts KISS in business suits, no member of the band actually owned a suit. The suits they wore in the cover were owned by manager Bill Aucoin.

While "Rock and Roll All Nite" remains a permanent staple in the band's concerts (often played to close out a show), much of the album is rarely played live.

5 stars An Underappreciated Masterpiece From A Truly Timeless Band
All the people who say Kiss was not talented, that they were for 9-14 year old boys, who dismissed them as a joke, I wonder if they've noticed that Kiss is still selling millions of albums after over 25 years of the best. This album is really a great piece of music. Paul Stanley shines throughout, but especially on Room Service, Rock Bottom, C'mon and Love Me and Anything FOr My Baby. Gene is his usual outstanding self on Two Timer, Ladies In Waiting, and She, possibly the heaviest song the band…

3 stars Dressed to Kill (1975)
By their third record Dressed to Kill, Kiss's songwriting had improved considerably. While Kissmania was yet to take off, Dressed to Kill proved Kiss was on their way. This set contains the Kiss anthem Rock and Roll All Night. Nothing on the record is quite as memorable as Rock and Roll All Night, but the remainder of Dressed to Kill was interesting.
