Hit "live" versions of studio songs that tanked

I think "Rock And Roll All Nite" could have made it into Billboard's Top 10 had the live version just been on the 45. Giving radio stations the choice between playing the live or studio version probably kept it out.

It was on a 45. And it was their first major chart hit, reaching #12, so it was obviously their highest placement to date. Most stations went with the hit version (albeit a single mix), and that was the live version. I don't think that there was much more that KISS could have done, aside from maybe placing the live version and the studio version back-to-back on the same 45.

The live version and the studio version were indeed released on the same 45 (Casablanca NB 850) :)
