Many of the songs on ''Double Platinum'' were modified from their original versions. In the case of "Strutter," it was completely re-recorded with a slight [[disco]] feel as "Strutter '78." Other songs ("Hard Luck Woman," "Detroit Rock City") had sections completely removed. The original vinyl release, in a gatefold-sleeve, had an embossed, silver-foiled sleeve, with the band members in bas-relief inside. The album was packaged with a printed "Platinum Award" thanking the Kiss Army for making the band a "Double Platinum Success." Later reissues would retain the gatefold-sleeve but replaced the logo with a printed, red-type version and the band members were now represented inside by photos rather than the ''bas'' illustrations. When the album was remastered for CD in the US it mimicked the original vinyl. __NOTOC__ ==Track listing== ===Side one=== #"[[Strutter|Strutter '78]]" ([[Paul Stanley]], [[Gene Simmons]]) – 3:41 #"Do You Love Me?"
