Notes:

Long deleted solo album compilation which has ONLY OFFICIALLY BEEN RELEASED ON CD IN JAPAN (UICY-40316, 2020). The South African cover also varies. Of the German versions, both feature discographies of the label's KISS output, the Bellaphon issue includes a list of singles. The Bellaphon issue also lists the songs on the back cover in the respective color of each member. This Bellaphon issue was released soon after Dynasty was released in Germany, around the time that the "Sure Know Something" single was active - the evidence for this is the fact that that singles has two covers, one which includes "Best Of Solo Albums", and the other which doesn't... The French cover also varies. There seem to be quite a wide variety of countries which issued this album. Covers L-R: Germany, Argentina, Australia... This album was reissued as a limited edition "splatter" vinyl in Germany in 2019 using the European track-listing.
