KISS: A Special KISS Tour Album (Vinyl, 12″ EP, 45RPM, Limited Edition, Black & White Splatter)

A Special KISS Tour Album is a Record Store Day 2026 release that finally gives a proper commercial issue to a 1976 promo-only 12-inch EP originally tied to the Destroyer era. The new edition lands on 18 April 2026, comes as a 12” vinyl EP, is cut at 45 RPM for the first time, and is pressed on black & white splatter vinyl with spot-gloss jacket details. Record Store Day lists it under Mercury Records with a reported quantity of 10,000 copies. 

For KISS collectors, this is a genuinely cool piece because it is not just another standard catalogue repress. It is a resurrection of a niche promo artifact from one of the band’s most important periods, built around the four singles from Destroyer. That gives it real collector appeal straight away. It sits right in that sweet spot where KISStory, rarity, and packaging all collide. 

What makes it especially attractive is the format. This is not being treated like a throwaway novelty item. The release notes push the fact that it is commercially available for the first time ever, and the black and white splatter pressing fits the classic KISS visual language nicely without feeling overdesigned. For a limited EP release, it sounds like a smart collector-focused package rather than a lazy cash-in.
