Without a doubt the best KISS T-shirts available direct from the UK are the custom air-brushed variety. Britain has 2 of the best KISS T-shirt artists in the world - Giorgio & Nick Smith.

Giorgio

For full details of Giorgio's work see:-

• Giorgio's Air Brushed T-Shirts
• Giorgio's T-shirts ordering info

Giorgio's custom t-shirts can be obtained by mail order or in person, check out the main Giorgio page or the Order Details page for more details.

Nick Smith

Nick has been creating some brilliant KISS designs for quite a while, I first discovered his work at the 1994 London KISS Convention. He regularly sells his work at international KISS conventions including some held in USA.

Standard T-shirts

Since the reunion there has been a huge boom in KISS T-shirts, a majority of the new designs (including the cool new 'faces' shirts like the Paul Stanley one on the left) can be ordered in the UK from:-

• Tracks
• X-Records

Failing that you can also order them online from the USA at:-

• David Snowdon's site
• KISS Online

Most of the new designs can be obtained from any of the above sites, including a  touch-sensitive T-shirt that plays part of 'Rock & Roll All Nite' when various parts of the KISS logo are touched (no joke!).
  

KISS books were always difficult to come by in the UK, however things have improved a lot since the reunion. Most major bookshops now stock many of the new KISS books including some of the American titles (such as 'KISS & Sell').

• Online KISS Shop
• KISS Magazines & Books (info only)
• WH Smith Online
• Amazon UK
• Book Brain
• Tracks
• X-Records

The merchandise that has been released since the KISS reunion in 1996 has been unbelievable,  name an item and there's probably a version out there with the KISS logo on it. KISS dolls are something that have taken off fairly recently (apart from the 70's versions of course), you can get anything from small action figures up to a 3ft singing dolls!

Best places to get them online are:-

• Tracks
• Spencer Gifts (USA) I ordered the 3ft Paul Stanley doll from here and it arrived from the USA in less than 1 week!!

Tracks also sell a lot of other KISS stuff, click here to order one of their UK catalogues, or download their latest product update (MS Word doc) or view some of their newest products.

Failing that try the main UK distributors or the stores listed below. Expect to pay anything from £7 to £20 for the small figures (cheapest I've seen was £7 on a market). The second editions of the figures can sometimes be found at some Beatties stores.

Birmingham

London

UK Distributors

There are still a lot of vinyl goodies to be found in the UK, below are a couple of online places to try:-

• Esprit
• X-Records
• Visual Vinyl

Reddingtons in Birminham city centre sell a lot of KISS stuff (including picture discs / postcards / key rings etc), but be warned, the sales assistants can all be a little pushy at times!

Birmingham

Mail Order

Obviously most record shops in Britain stock KISS cd's (especially since the re-issues came out). But there are some good UK based online shops too:-

• CD Paradise
• Music Shop Online
• Gema Records
• CD Zone
