- Red Vinyl Pressing
This is 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
For legions of Kiss fans, the fiery aesthetics and hard-driving rock of their 1975 album "Dressed To Kill" hold a special place. This iconic record, featuring tracks like "Rock and Roll All Nite" and "C'mon and Love Me," cemented Kiss's status as rock and roll royalty. Now, collectors and enthusiasts have a chance to experience this classic album in a new way with the red vinyl pressing of "Dressed To Kill."
A Classic Reborn in Red
The red vinyl pressing of "Dressed To Kill" takes the original 12" LP format and injects it with a shot of color. The fiery red vinyl adds a visual element that complements the album's themes of power and rebellion. This isn't just about aesthetics, though. Audiophiles may appreciate the warmer sound that vinyl can sometimes offer, potentially adding a new dimension to the listening experience.
