The original copy of the UK Peter Criss solo single states 'You Matter To Me' on the sleeve and the 'A' side label. The 'A' side label gives the 'B' side title of 'Hooked On Rock 'n' Roll' on it. The 'B' side label has the Peter Criss solo album face artwork on it. All the UK solo singles had pre-cut out masks and not posters to cut out. They also state that they are manufactured, marketed and issued by Pye Records.
This box set is so nice. It would have been nearly impossible to find all of these original 45's. I rarely see any Kiss picture sleeves so it is nice to have them all in one set. I have this box set but wanted to hear your thoughts on it. I have that same concert t shirt too. Lol.
The "you still matter to me" seemed like a joke, kinda! Think about it, the outside says "you matter to me" , and you open it up and it says "you STILL matter to me"! It's either a typo , or someone has a sense of humor!
I don't know when the law went into effect. But back in the 80's it became illegal to show nazi anything. As a result German pressings of Kiss albums featured a regular S rather than a lightning bolt S. I found it interesting the German sleeves feature the lightning bolt.
Great box set a must have 5 star. Thx for sharing it.
In Spain they published the single “I”/“The oath” before “A world without heroes”

Very nice, I am still not gettin into 45's but this set is tempting. Thanks.
Such great packaging and attention to detail, I can't rave enough how much I love having this in my personal KISS collection.

Another great episode, Anything KISS, thank you.
Nice looking box. Thank you for sharing it with us Man
This looks like a pretty cool box set!
I'm pretty sure Talk to Me was released as a single as well, in the Netherlands.
Absolutely love the Japanese singles.
Cool to see on the German releases they use they regular lightening bolt S and not the regular S they usually use for German releases.
Ron McMaster? Whoa!
Way cool!
That cool picture of KISS in the book from the Elder era would have been an awesome gatefold picture for the Music From the Elder album.
It definitely would!
I thought the German market had to use the regular SS in the name/artwork?
Germany Kiss albums don't have the lightning bolt S's
Why do we need that when there are downloads??
Downloads are for chumps, they suck.

Never bothered to include Creatures Of The Night single. Top forty hit uk
The box covers the US singles so it definitely would be interesting to see the other international singles worked in.
Easy answer, it wasn't released until April of 1983. The box set runs to 1982.
Amazon re-pop…. Box incorrect. Shadow box, my original actually has foil inset. Looks wrong. 🤔

Germany does not allow the SS logo.....must be from somewhere else. Or they have been altered just for this set.
Not a fan of Kiss at all.... Please unbox some Rush on the next Sunboxing!
