Dressed to Kill is the third studio album from American hard rock band KISS. It is unique for having been produced by Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart, as the financial situation of the label at the time did not allow the hiring of a professional producer. The production of Dressed To Kill is much more "polished" than the previous two albums. While the album cover depicts Kiss in business suits, the only member of the band who actually owned one was Peter Criss. The suits worn on the cover by the rest of the band were owned by manager Bill Aucoin. This may be the only picture ever taken of KISS in full makeup but without any cosumes. The song "Rock and Roll All Nite" remains a permanent staple in the band's concerts (often played to close out a show). It has also been coined the universal rock and roll anthem. there are several other songs still played in concert from this release such as "She", "Rock Bottom" and occasionally, "C'mon and Love Me". I have included scans from the original first pressing. And, as a bonus. I have also included complete scans from all three pressings of "The Originals" to celebrate the first trilogy from KISS.
