Dressed to Kill is a 1975 album from American hard rock group Kiss. It is the band's third studio album and is unique for having been produced by the president of Casablanca Records, Neil Bogart.
"C'mon And Love Me", and "Rock and Roll All Nite" were released as singles. Both failed to rise high on the charts until "Rock and Roll All Nite", was released in its live format as a single later that year off their double live album Alive!.
The album was re-released in 1997 (along with most of Kiss' earlier albums) in a remastered version.
It was certified Gold on February 28, 1977, when it sold 500,000 copies.
On the album cover each member is wearing a business suit, but none of them owned one at the time; they didn't even fit right. So they had to borrow suits from their manager Bill Aucoin.
