This week Tom & Zeus open Season 8 of Shout It Out Loudcast with a review of the most quintessential KISS compilation, the 1978 "Double Platinum!"

This SIOL's 12th compilation review. This was KISS' first compilation and came out in a period where KISS would release 7 albums in two years including 2 double albums, one of which is Double Platinum.

This compilation covers songs from 1974 - 1977, containing containing 20 songs from the first 6 KISS studio albums.

The album was certified platinum and was produced by the great Sean Delaney. He remixed the songs and made some controversial changes to many of the tracks, including a new disco version of "Strutter" called "Strutter '78" but lovingly called "Disco Strutter" on SIOL.

The album cover with its silver color KISS logos and red Double Platinum writing is legendary. When opened there were embossed images of the band members that were fascinating to view.

The guys breakdown the track selection and then rank the compilation album and cover versus the previous reviewed compilation albums.

A classic album from the classic era of KISS.

Thank you Loudcasters for season 8!
