By Allison Singh ·
KISS is releasing a 130-track archive to mark the 50th anniversary of Rock And Roll Over. The collection contains 100 previously unreleased tracks and mixes.
The album originally hit the shelves on Nov. 11, 1976. It peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart. The record produced the singles "Calling Dr. Love" and "Hard Luck Woman."
Original engineer Eddie Kramer created a new 2026 stereo mix from the analog multitrack tapes. The set also includes a newly remastered version of the original album. The band released a new mix of "Mr. Speed" on a seven-inch single on Oct. 16. That single is backed by an unreleased instrumental demo.
The vault material includes 22 unreleased demos, outtakes, and alternate mixes. The collection features nine demos by Gene Simmons and a Paul Stanley demo of "I Want Love." It also includes recordings from the Davlen Sound Studios sessions and the unfinished instrumental "Queen For A Day." Live selections from the band's four shows at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan in April 1977 were newly mixed by Kramer.
The physical editions ship on Nov. 6 in two Super Deluxe configurations. One version is a six-LP set with Blu-ray Audio. The other is a four-CD set with Blu-ray Audio. Both include a Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround versions of the original album and the 2026 mix. The packages include a 104-page hardcover book with liner notes by KISStorian Ken Sharp. The book also contains new interviews with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, and Kramer. Unreleased photographs and archival collectibles are included.
