It's a pretty good compilation album. Got the big hits and then some brand new songs/unreleased material. For an average kiss fan or not a huge one but likes the hits, this is a good compilation.
Thing to know though. Some of the songs such as, Love Gun, I Love It Loud, have slightly altered mixes. It might not be a big deal to some, though worth mentioning. Some countries have slightly different track listings for this compilation. This being the Europe pressing, it has present Crazy Crazy Nights. Which was a massive hit in the UK, which is why it's there. Though the song isn't present on the American pressings. Instead, they have Deuce and Calling Dr Love.
Only thing I wish they done with this release was make it 2LP. So the songs are not on a single disc. To help the songs breathe a little bit more. As there are 7-8 songs per side. Though it sounds really good the pressing non the less.
