KISS - Alive! (2CD 1st Japan Pressing 1986) [h33t] [SomeLikeItHot]

KISS - Alive! (2CD 1st Japan Pressing 1986)


Despite a lot of Kiss' rips along the web, a true brilliant in the collection is the first Japanese pressings.
The P58C series - CDs from 1986, are stunning compared to the other versions out there.
It has absolute different mastering than early WG, US or Canadian discs and their sound is completely
different to all other versions and have a real warmth about them.
All KISS fans who consider themselves audiophiles and listen to CD's should have them.
