The album was certified Platinum on May 16, 1978, by the RIAA. When the album was remastered for CD in the US in 1997, it mimicked the original vinyl. Later reissues would retain the gatefold sleeve but replaced the logo with a printed, red-type version and the band members were now represented inside by photos rather than the base illustrations. The album was packaged with a printed 'Platinum Award' thanking the Kiss Army for making the band a 'Double Platinum Success'. The original vinyl release, in a gatefold sleeve, had an embossed, silver-foiled sleeve, with the band members in bas-relief inside. Release and reception Professional ratings Review scores The Japanese single release of 'Strutter '78' includes a different version to that on the album: faster and shorter, with an altered guitar solo, plus a more prominent hi-hat (cymbal) sound throughout. A detailed walkthrough of the remixes can be found at the Axiology website. The overall sound of the album is slightly flat and compressed, to give a similar sound to the varying productions of each track which are taken from the albums between the years 1974 up to 1977. Many of the songs on Double Platinum were remixed and differed from their original versions: in the case of ' Strutter,' it was re-recorded with a slight disco beat and dubbed 'Strutter '78.' Other songs (' Hard Luck Woman,' ' Detroit Rock City') had sections completely removed, while the beginning of ' Black Diamond' was repeated at the end, fading out at the start of the first verse and giving the song a 'wrap around' feel.

Double Platinum is the first greatest hits album by the American hard rock band Kiss, released in 1978.
