Kiss – Rise To It (7" Single)

Artist: Kiss

Title: Rise To It / Silver Spoon

Format: 7" Vinyl Single

Original Release: April 1990

Label: Mercury (US/AUS) / Vertigo (UK)

The "Deep Dive" Details:

• The "Full Power Guitar Mix" (Australia): On the Australian 7" (Catalog: 875 098-7), the A-side is frequently listed as the "Full Power Guitar Mix." This is a specific radio-friendly edit that pushes Paul Stanley's guitar and vocals further forward in the mix compared to the Hot in the Shade album version. If your label mentions this mix, it is a key selling point for Kiss "mix-variation" hunters.

• The Australian Picture Sleeve Rarity: While the US release was often a generic sleeve, the Australian 7" was issued in a limited picture sleeve featuring the band's 1990 "unmasked" lineup. In the current collector market, an original Australian pressing with a crisp picture sleeve (no ring wear or seam splits) is valued significantly higher—sometimes fetching over $150 AUD—compared to the more common international versions.

• The "Silver Spoon" B-Side: The B-side is "Silver Spoon," another Paul Stanley track. Like "Rise To It," the 7" version is noted for being a punchier, condensed edit of the album track. Because this single was released right as vinyl was being phased out for cassettes and CDs in Australia, the 7" vinyl pressings had a much smaller run than previous 80s singles like "Crazy Crazy Nights."

• Matrix / Runout Info: Check the runout for the stamp 8750987. If you see a small "D.A.T.A." or "PolyGram" identifier, it confirms the local Australian manufacture. Australian Kiss vinyl from this late period is prized for using high-quality heavy-duty cardstock for the sleeves, which preserved the color better than the thinner US paper sleeves.

• The 1975 "Flashback" Connection: The music video for this song famously features Paul and Gene in their 1975-era makeup for the intro and outro. Because of this, the single is often bought by "makeup-era" purists who otherwise ignored the late 80s/early 90s "unmasked" period.
