With the 45th anniversary super deluxe edition box set of KISS' historic Destroyer album coming in November, the band has served up one of the many rarities that are included with the set by way of an acoustic mix of their hit ballad, "Beth."
The track features lead vocals by drummer Peter Criss, who worked with producer Bob Ezrin on the songwriting component and, for the first time ever, fans can hear a different version of "Beth," led by an acoustic guitar amid a host of familiar elements. The biggest difference here is that the sweeping, cinematic orchestration has been removed, letting the piano melodies occupy most of the space with some gentle acoustic strumming throughout.
Listen to the acoustic version of "Beth" below.
The new box set, which is loaded with previously unheard recordings, demos and so much more, will arrive on Nov. 19 on UMe and pre-orders can be placed here. View the contents and never-ending track listing further down the page, as well as an unboxing video of the commemorative Destroyer set.
Looking back at more KISS history, manager Doc McGhee recently revealed that a new documentary, which will focus on the band's first four years, is in the works and that a script has been completed. Meanwhile, KISS themselves are looking ahead to 2022, which will likely be the last year the band ever performs live as they wind down their ongoing farewell tour.
