"DESTROYER" is the symbol of KISS's heyday, which brought them their first gold disc and is now a multi-platinum record. The ultimate compilation of demos and outtakes is here! This work is engraved with 20 studio recordings left over from the production of "DESTROYER". We have introduced various soundboards and studio demos through our own related routes, and this is the latest edition. Speaking of demos of the great masterpiece "DESTROYER", there have been various titles such as the official 45th anniversary box and our "STUDIO DEMOS 1975 (Zodiac 054)". This work is a compilation of all the existing demos, but each take is not a copy that has already been released. This is an ultra-definitive compilation of all the takes with a new master of the highest sound quality ever. There are four main sessions included in this work. Let's introduce each one individually. August 1975: MAGNA GRAPHIC Studio (3 takes) / God Of Thunder (2 takes) / Detroit Rock City First up is the August session at Magna Graphic Studios, which began in the gaps of the DRESSED TO KILL Tour. This was not a real recording, but a stage in which songs were written and selected. This session was also the main focus of the press masterpiece STUDIO DEMOS 1975, but the only songs that producer Bob Ezrin used were "God Of Thunder" and "Detroit Rock City". The other songs were used in other works such as ROCK AND ROLL OVER and Gene Simmons' solo. And the two songs that were used are "God Of Thunder" and "Detroit Rock City". In STUDIO DEMOS 1975, there was one take each, but in this work, another take of "God Of Thunder" has also been added. Even though it is the same take as "STUDIO DEMOS 1975", the sound quality is completely different. The vividness and three-dimensionality are incomparable, and it is clear that it is clearly a younger generation rather than a remastered process. "STUDIO DEMOS 1975" also had "Mad Dog (the original of Flaming Youth)" and "Night Fly (the original of Sweet Pain)", but rather than being original songs, they were reused parts such as lyrics and riffs. Perhaps the editor of this work decided to make them different songs, so they are not used here. September 1975: ELECTRIC LADY Studio (4 takes) Detroit Rock City / Sweet Pain / King Of The Night Time World (2 takes) Next up is the September 3-6, 1975 session at "Electric Lady Studios" where the main production of "DESTROYER" was done. However, the performance itself was not for the album, but was in the process of solidifying the composition and arrangement. The sound quality is also rougher than other sessions, with a test recording feel. The "Sweet Pain" demo is a rare one that is not even included in the 45th anniversary box. Also, even though the sound is rough, that is due to the recording conditions. It is certain that each take has the best sound quality ever in terms of master. For example, "Detroit Rock City" and "King Of The Night Time World (Take 2)" are performances that can also be heard on the gift board "DESTROYER DEMOS", but Gene is a cut above the rest. The master quality is completely different from the fluffy gift board. January 1976: RECORD PLANT Studio (12 takes), Detroit Rock City (3 takes), Ain't None Of Your Business (2 takes), Beth (2 takes), Do You Love Me, Flaming Youth, God Of Thunder (2 takes), Great Expectations And the main focus of this work is the "Record Plant Studios" session in January 1976, which took place between the "ALIVE! Tour". It contains a large number of demos of 7 songs and 12 takes, and the performance and sound are highly refined. This section can also be enjoyed as a "collection of different versions of DESTROYER". "Ain't None Of Your Business" was not included in the final album, but it is a famous song from the "DESTROYER" session. It is a song written by country singer Becky Hobbs and Lou Anderson, and is included in this work in two versions, one with Peter's singing and one as an instrumental. As a result, KISS never officially recorded it, nor performed it live, but later offered it to DETECTIVE, who was the opening act for the tour. It was included in their debut album "DETECTIVE" in 1977. 1970: Chelsea Demo (1 take) - Beck "Beck", the original song of "Beth" recorded by Peter Criss during his time with Chelsea. This song was originally a joke about Mike Brand's wife (Becky), who was a member of Chelsea. It is not a KISS demo, but it is included as a bonus. The above is a collection of treasures spanning 20 takes and 1 hour, 2 minutes and 43 seconds. Not only does it collect all the demos/outtakes that have been scattered across various titles, but it is also a super-definitive album that is permeated with the highest quality ever. It is an eternal masterpiece that should be placed next to "DESTROYER". A super-definitive album that compiles all the demos/outtakes of the masterpiece "DESTROYER". This is a compilation of all the existing demos, but it is not a recomposition of the previous release, but a new master with the highest sound quality ever, with all tracks unearthed through unique related routes. This is the ultimate version of the "DESTROYER demo" spanning 20 takes and 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 43 seconds.
