Prices for Gene Simmons’ box set ‘The Vault’ to range from $2,000 to $50,000
KISS bassist Gene Simmons had hinted that the prices for his cupoming box set The Vault might be expensive given that he was planning on delivering the box set to purchasers. Simmons has now revealed more details in that regard on his Gene Simmons Vault website which states:
“Gene Simmons here. You might think you know all about me, but believe it or not there’s more… After years of being in the spotlight with KISS, I’ve decided it’s time to share another side with you, a deeply personal one. With The Vault, I’ve created a 50-year time capsule (1966 to 2016) that serves as a soundtrack to my life, filled with songs I’ve written, but have never been released. Until now.
The Vault includes 150 recordings featuring notable rock and roll artists and of course, my bandmates from KISS.
As an obsessive music fan and collector myself, I’ve packed The Vault with exclusive mementos created just for The Vault – a new Gene action figure, an “In Gene We Trust” oversized commemorative coin, a deluxe book containing over 50,000 words and 160-pages of unseen photos from my personal collection. As well as a track-by-track commentary on every song. And I’ve hand selected a personal gift from me to you direct from my very own archive.
The best part? I will hand deliver your Vault at an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime, event near you.
This is my personal invitation. Welcome to The Vault.”
