In their early years, KISS released a total of 29 singles on seven-inch 45 RPM records for the Casablanca label. These were available for sale to the public, used for commercial radio airplay and to promote album sales. Many of these singles had entirely different mixes, edits and material that didn’t appear on their vinyl albums. Now for the first time, these musical snapshots of KISS’ formative years, which have never been available in a commemorative singles edition, will be released in two box-set configurations entitled The Casablanca Singles 1974-1982, on Dec. 4 from Mercury/Casablanca/UMe:

29 Seven-inch vinyl (Limited Edition available direct to consumer via www.universalmusicenterprises.com/select)
29 CDs (available through all retail outlets)

In typical KISS fashion, these are no ordinary boxes. The sets are housed in a beautiful die-cut shadow box with a limited edition, etched silver metal plate and ribbon-pull magnetic closure, custom KISS 45s box with 26 collectible picture sleeves from original single releases around the world, including Japan, Germany, Holland, Spain and Britain. The vinyl collection also features singles from all four solo albums in purple, blue, red and green vinyl with a picture sleeve representing each individual member as originally released in the U.K. Both sets include a booklet which tracks the genesis and chart history of each single represented in the package and four individual KISS masks.

The Casablanca Singles 1974-1982 covers KISS’ remarkable eight-year stay on Bogart’s label, from their very first single “Nothin’ to Lose” b/w “Love Theme from KISS,” from their self-titled debut, to their very first charted 45, “Kissin’ Time.” The band’s subsequent string of hits includedDressed to Kill‘s live version of “Rock and Roll All Nite” (No. 12 on Billboard‘s Hot 100), Destroyer‘s “Shout It Out Loud” (No. 31) and the Top 10 ballad “Beth,” Rock and Roll Over‘s “Hard Luck Woman” (No. 15) and “Calling Dr. Love” (No. 16), Love Gun‘s “Christeen Sixteen” (No. 25), Ace Frehley’s solo hit, “New York Groove” (No. 13) and Dynasty‘s “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” (No. 11).

“Even I haven’t heard some of this stuff, but this is all part of our master plan to celebrate KISS at this milestone in our careers,” says Gene Simmons. “This box set represents us at the very beginning of our career, and documents the band’s early success and subsequent growth.”

Adds Paul Stanley: “This collection is meant for the true KISS aficionado. The packaging really captures the development of both our music and image at a very crucial period in the band’s history.”

The special set comes out after the release of Monster, their 20th studio album. Showing the band at the top of its game, Monster embodies all that is KISS and the music that first inspired them to pick up their guitars and flame-throwers and don makeup to entertain millions. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, with longtime members guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer, return stronger than ever with their new album to continue the legacy of the spectacular larger-than-life extravaganza known as KISS.

The Stones will rock the Eastern Seaboard on December 13th and 15th, and the Prudential Center in Newark will be the site of both shows. Doing two performances in New Jersey allows millions of fans to have access to the arena by way of plane, train or automobile. The four shows will be split into two cities; one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom. The fun will begin with a Rolling Stones show at the o2 Arena in London on November 25th, and another show at the same locale will take place on November 29th.

Rolling Stones tickets have been hard to find in recent years, as the band has experienced an unofficial hiatus and many of the members have become engaged in other projects and artistic endeavors. The magnitude of the 50th anniversary of their first ever concert was enough to bring the four aging legends together, and rumors are currently spreading that the Stones will be announcing one last massive world tour after the conclusion of these four shows.

Event	Date & Location
The Rolling Stones	Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 6:30PM O2 Arena – London London, Greater London
