Alive! turns 50 – a golden jubilee for the iconic live album that catapulted Kiss’s popularity and revolutionized live albums for the music industry from end-of-career obscurity into career-defining mainstream success. Often revered as one of the greatest live albums ever by countless music journalists, Alive! is celebrated with a Super Deluxe 4-CD/Blu-ray Audio box set or 8 LP/Blu-ray Audio set, showcasing 120 total tracks, amplified with 88 unreleased tracks.
