The Third KISS Album: Dressed to KIll

     The album Dressed to Kill was released March 19, 1975 becoming KISS' third studio album and also third release in a little more than a year. Between touring and the Casablanca company continuing to push them for new material KISS became fast known as hard workers. This album was most notable for the fact that the record labels own President produced this album due to the floundering finances of the company they could not afford to bring in outside work for the album.
     The band chose to wear suits for the cover of the album to depict the fact that KISS was taken care of business. One problem though while they wanted to wear suits the only one who actually owned his own suit was drummer Peter Criss. Thus the vast variation in sizes of the suits among the remaining three members who had to borrow suits from manager Bill Aucoin to do this shoot.
      This album was not certified gold status until 1977 while producing the KISS and rock and roll anthem "Rock and Roll All Nite." It peaked at #32 on the album charts and features a few songs that may be found on a KISS set list even to this day. Including "She", "Rock Bottom" and "C'mon and Love Me."
