With this unusual outing, Kiss follows in the footsteps of seminal classical/hard-rock fusion records like Metallica's S&M and Deep Purple's CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA.Gene Simmons and company keep it interesting by including a section of traditionally rendered tunes as well as those with accompaniment by the smaller Melbourne Symphony Ensemble, and finally a full second CD with the entire orchestra. Noticeably absent is Ace Frehley, whose decision to get off the are-we/aren't-we-retired merry-go-round resulted in the hiring of former Black 'n Blue guitarist Tommy Thayer as his replacement. Die-hards and casual fans will be pleased by a set selection that ranges from powerfully arranged classics like "King of the Night Time World" and "Do You Love Me" to stripped-down renditions of more recent fare such as "Psycho Circus."

GRADING SYSTEM AS A GUIDE ON GRADING LPS. 

MINT (M) ~ Absolutely perfect in every way and never played. Sealed.

Near Mint(NM) - A mint piece of vinyl, this would be our highest grading used for any open record, still has original luster with only the slightest of use (no noticeable scuffs or scratching and will play with no distractions).

Cover: Almost perfect without any flaws, almost always in shrinkwrap.

Excellent (EX) - This record would fall between NM- and VG, it’s not quite NM- but is better than VG. This would be only slightly less visually than NM- but still should play almost flawlessly.

Cover: Slight wear may be displayed .

Very Good (plus) (VG +) - A very nice record that has been played a little and handled very carefully. Starting to show signs of use such as hairline scratching and scuffing but is still a fairly well-cared-for album and may have some slight discernible imperfection in the audio.

Cover: Will have minimal marks and wear.

Very Good  (VG ) - A nice record which has been played and handled, discs have scratches,  and Surface scuffing . Noticeable but minimal surface noise. Groove wear will  have started.

Cover: Will have seam wear, slight ring wear, or slight corner rounding.

GOOD (G) - Record shows visible sign of play with scratches and scuffs, may have slight surface noise.

Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split.
