The Originals pack was a re-release of the first three albums by the rock band Kiss: Kiss, Hotter Than Hell and Dressed to Kill. The paper sleeves holding each disc were duplicates of the original album covers. It was packaged with a 16-page history booklet, a color Kiss Army sticker, and a sheet of six trading cards.[1]
The set was released to stimulate sales of the earlier albums once Destroyer became the first Kiss studio album to go gold.[2] It reached a peak of #36 on the US charts in September 1976.[3]
