Burning The Ground Exclusive 1979
“Dirty Livin’ / 2.000 Man” is a Germany only 12″ single by American Rock band KISS both tracks were taken from the band’s seventh studio album “Dynasty” released in 1979.
“Dirty Livin’ ” features vocals by Peter Criss, and the only song on “Dynasty” on which Peter Criss drums, with the rest of the album being the work of session drummer Anton Fig. “Dirty Livin’ ” is also the second disco mix released by the band remixed by Jim Burgess who had also remixed the band’s previous 12″ “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” both singles released on Casablanca Records. The effect of the remix would be to take the pulsating rhythm of the original recording and make it more disco sounding, somewhat similar to the overall feel of “I Was Made For Lovin’ You.” This remixing would provide a rearrangement of the song and would also stretch the song’s length to 6:00. A 3:15 edit of this Jim Burgess remix was released as a promotional single in Mexico (Casablanca/PolyGram SN-210).
“2,000 Man,” is a cover of the 1967 Rolling Stones song, with Ace Frehley on vocals.

Hello, unfortunately I can’t download this gem, it can be uploaded again… thank you very much Paul
I was shocked to find out that KISS had another Disco record!! Paul, this is what makes you so amazing because you just know stuff that most of us don’t. I can’t wait to check this one out. I love the fact that KISS was on Casablanca Records in the first place because the label was primarily a Disco label. How cool that they shared their time with Donna Summer and the rest!! I’m going to play this one loud!!
Have a great weekend Paul and thanks for this great cool stuff!!!
Jeff
Nice remix by Jim Burgess (RIP) who also did remixes for Nicolette Larson and The Doobie Brothers. I think it is so fun when rock bands appreciate the 12″ single. I hope you like this one, Jeff. Have a great weekend 🙂
I agree … never heard of this until you just posted it!! Thank you !!!
Generally, it’s always nice to find a rare remix of a ROCK classic.
Thanks for this rare dance single by Kiss!! This will be great along side “I Was Made For Lovin’ You.” Have a great weekend!
You’re welcome, Retro Hound. I hope to someday re-rip the other KISS 12″. Have a great weekend 🙂
