Double Platinum
is the first
greatest hits album
by the American
hard rock band
released in 1978.
Many of the songs on
Double Platinum
were remixed
and differed
from their
original versions:
in the case of
"Strutter,"
it was re-recorded
with a
slight disco beat
and dubbed
"Strutter '78."
Other songs
("Hard Luck Woman," "Detroit Rock City")
had sections
completely removed,
while the beginning of
"Black Diamond"
was repeated
at the end,
fading out
at the start
of the first verse
and giving the song a
"wrap around"
feel.
The Japanese single
release of
"Strutter '78"
includes a
different version
to that on the album:
faster and shorter,
with an altered
guitar solo,
plus a more prominent
hi-hat
(cymbal)
sound throughout.
The original vinyl release,
in a gatefold sleeve,
had an embossed,
silver-foiled sleeve,
with the band members
in bas-relief inside.
The album was packaged
with a printed
"Platinum Award"
thanking the
Kiss Army
for making the band a
"Double Platinum Success".
Later reissues
would retain the
gatefold sleeve
but replaced the logo
with a printed,
red-type version
and the
band members
were now represented inside
by photos
rather than the
base illustrations.
When the album was
remastered for CD
in the US
in 1997,
it mimicked
the original vinyl
