This pack was a re-release of the first three Kiss albums: Kiss, Hotter Than Hell, and Dressed to Kill. It was packaged with a 16-page history booklet, a color Kiss Army sticker, and a sheet of six trading cards.

It was released to stimulate sales of the earlier albums once Destroyer became the first Kiss album to go gold. It reached a peak of #36 on the US charts in September 1976.
