Re-release
Alive! was first issued as a 2CD set in what has now become known as a 'fatboy' 2CD case. When the Kiss back-catalogue was remastered it was housed in a slimline 2CD case, and in keeping with the rest of the reissue program, had the artwork restored. Alive! was re-released in 2006 as part of the Kiss Alive! 1975–2000 box set. The short running-time of Alive! allowed for a single, unedited CD edition in this release. The remastered CD edition eliminates the breaks between the four sides of the original LP release, resulting in this version of the album playing as one continuous performance. The 72-page booklet that comes with the CD set erroneously credits songwriting for "Cold Gin" to Stanley instead of Ace Frehley.
