KISS is the number-one American, Rock ’N Roll band, with more certified Gold records than any other in music history, or in this case, KISStory!
KISS’s original Catalog Consultant, Robert V. Conte, was blessed to serve the band by overseeing the remastering and repackaging of over 20 KISS albums from 1996-1999. A lifelong devout KISS fan, Robert was the first person who informed founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley about the tragic audio and packaging mistakes imposed by PolyGram Records in the 1980s. As a result, the KISS REMASTERS SERIES of CDs and cassettes from the late 1990s, and the compilations YOU WANTED THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST!! (YWTB, YGTB!!) and GREATEST KISS were KISStoric milestones!
Robert has been working on his memoir, detailing his personal experienes with Simmons, Stanley, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, and other present and past members of the KISS family, Mercury/PolyGram Records, and much more.
BE AMONG THE FIRST to be offered Robert's project on ANNOUNCEMENT DAY coming soon by completing this form. His work will be published in June 2026 to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of YWTB, YGTB!
