Dressed to Kill



Dressed to Kill is a 1975 album from American hard rock group KISS. It is the band's third studio album and is unique for having been produced by the president of Casablanca Records, Neil Bogart.

"C'mon and Love Me", and "Rock and Roll All Nite" were released as singles. Both failed to rise high on the charts until "Rock and Roll All Nite" was released in its live format as a single later that year off their double live album Alive! and reached number 12 on the singles charts.

The album was Reissued in 1997(along with most of Kiss' earlier albums) in a remastered version.

It peaked at number 32 on the charts

In His Own Words
"I recently listened to that album again. I hadnt listened to it in a long time, and I listened to the cd. There was alot of energy on that record. I was real happy with alot of the solos I did. It shows growth from the first record [Laughs]. Probably a four".
