Universal Music will be releasing the "Alive! 1975-2000" box set featuring KISS' first three "Alive" albums (as released on Universal labels, whereas the latest "Alive IV"/"Kiss Symphony" album came out via Sanctuary Records) in Europe on November 17. The set will appearently be a four-disc box set, with the fourth disc expected to be the never-released, original "Alive IV" album that was once advertised back in 2000 and recorded when the band was still with Universal Music. The package will include a 10-panel digipack with a plastic O-Sleeve, and a special silver ink and sculpted embossing to the digi of the KISS logo.
Recorded on New Year's Eve 1999/2000 at Vancouver's BC Place Concert Bowl in Canada, the original "Alive IV" was set for a March 28, 2000 release. However, it quickly got pushed back to April 18 before it got shelved indefinItely. Around that time, Paul Stanley stated in an online chat: "'Alive IV' will be out at some point. We missed our deadline and we're still in midst of it."
