By the release of their third album, 1975’s ‘Dressed To Kill’, Kiss were fast becoming America’s top rock concert attraction, yet their record sales up to this point did not reflect their ticket sales. Casablanca label head Neil Bogart decided to take matters into his own hands, and produced the new record along with the band. The result is more vibrant sounding than its predecessor, 1974’s sludgefest ‘Hotter Than Hell’, and the songs have more of an obvious pop edge to them. The best-known song on the album by far is the party anthem ‘Rock and Roll All Nite’, but it was the track ‘C’Mon and Love Me’ that became a regional hit in the Detroit area, giving the band their first taste of radio success. Since the band was on the road for a year straight, songs such as ‘Room Service’ and ‘Ladies in Waiting’ dealt with life on the road (i.e., groupies), and a pair of songs were reworked from Kiss’ precursor band, Wicked Lester (‘Love Her All I Can’ and ‘She’). ‘Dressed To Kill’, with an album cover showing each member wearing a tuxedo, even if none of them owned one at the time, was certified Gold on February 28, 1977, when it sold 500,000 copies. ‘Dressed to Kill’ went into the Top 40 on the Billboard charts and everything was now set for Kiss’ big commercial breakthrough with their next release.
