First run of additions to this project. Many more to come.

The Goal?

To fit all KISS audio onto one (or 2) 32gb usb stick(s) in LOSSLESS wave format (16/44100).

To find the best possible quality sources for material.

To present the material as close as possible to it's original, natural intent.

To make sure all songs are uniform in volume, left to right stereo panning perfectly even, and all tracks speed and pitch corrected.

The Ultimate Goal? THE definitve KISS audio collection.

Special Thanks: Friedalive and Vinylhound for their amazing vinyl rips, and what I consider THE BEST and ONLY way to listen to music!

A very special thanks: ALL my friends, traders and collectors and for those who helped me along the way.

I've gone through every track over and over and over again. Adjusting pitch, speed, volume, panning, to
make this as close to the perfect and definitve KISS audio collection. For that rare person who thinks, "Big deal! All you did
was download vinyl off the net!". WRONG! I went over every track numerous times, to assure every aspect was as perfect as possible. Most may not realize how much of a variance
there is from KISS album to KISS album. Most don't realize, that even on the same album, there are very noticeable fluctuations. This was not a quick, nor easy project. This wasn't about simply using waves and meters and making sure peaks were visually equal. This was about using my ear and trying to match every track sonically and in volume. Please, appreciate the effort.

The idea for this project came about 3 years ago when I was fed up with brickwalled cd's and scratched, skipping cdr's in my car, and the constant changing of discs. Now that usb ports are possible in almost every thing we use elctronically, including our vehicles, the project was a no brainer for me. With that said, I know it is not perfect. But, please enjoy.

note: bonus live tracks from YWTBYGTB are also Friedalive vinyl rips.

note: NONE of the vinyl rips have been compressed or brickwalled. They are as natural as can be All non-vinyl audio was brought down in volume
to match the vinyls natural sound.

note: "tweaked" means I did some eq'ing or altering of the track.

note: You will notice the odd, minor track from the official boxset not included.

note: I've included all cover scans so generously provided by Vinylhound. Amazing and HUGE scans!

I enjoyed listening to volume 1 of this project very much. What made it most enjoyable for me, was having uniform volume throughout, with the ability to flip from track to track in any random order. 
So I figured, why not start adding the most popular, and/or best sounding KISS bootlegs? 
It's not the easiest task balancing random bootlegs, spanning a 40 year career, with their studio album counterparts.

I "tweaked" them ALL to MY LIKING. Stereo balanced and leveled them to flow as well as I could. It's not perfect, nor can it ever be:)
