Kiss “Double Platinum” 1978. Today, April 27th, is Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley’s 70th birthday (b. Paul Frehley, 1951). Double Platinum is Kiss’ first greatest hits record (double LP, gatefold with the original silver embossed portraits of the band inside); it went to #22 in the US and compiles the band’s most popular tracks to that point, though some were re-recorded/remixed from their original versions. The lead track “Strutter ‘78″ differs fairly significantly from “Strutter” (1974, Kiss), and other memorable songs like “Detroit Rock City,” “C’mon and Love Me” and “Black Diamond” are also remixed. However, some greats like “Love Gun” (1977, Love Gun, #61 US), “Rock and Roll All Nite” (1975, Dressed to Kill, #69 US) and “Beth” (1976, Destroyer, #7 US) were left alone.
