Kiss Announces Expanded Five-CD ‘Creatures of the Night’ Box Set

Kiss will release a five-CD box set of their career-saving Creatures of the Night on Nov. 18.

The 1982 album found Kiss returning to their hard-rock roots after alienating their fan base with a series of records that flirted with pop, disco and progressive rock. Although it wasn’t an immediate commercial success, Creatures marked a creative turning point for the band and over time came to be regarded as a career highlight.

The box includes 75 previously unreleased demos, instrumentals and live tracks, as well as a bounty of stickers, photos, backstage passes and other replica souvenirs. You can see the full track listing for the five-CD “Super Deluxe” edition below.

A previously unreleased Paul Stanley-fronted song called “Betrayed” has been released in advance of the set. It’s a different song than the 1989 Gene Simmons-led track of the same name that appeared on 1989’s Hot in the Shade. You can hear the new song below.

The 40th-anniversary edition of Creatures of the Night will also be available in other formats. The fourth release from Kiss’ Off the Soundboard live bootleg series, taken from a 1977 concert in Des Moines, arrives on Sept. 9.
