Sept. 18 :
KISS - Love Gun Deluxe Edition To Be Released October 28
From
:
melodicrock.com
Universal Music are proud to announce the next
stage of KISS' 40th anniversary celebrations, with the release of a
Deluxe Edition of the 1977 U.S. platinum album, Love Gun, on 2CD and
digital formats.
The band's sixth studio recording, Love Gun
was the first album to feature lead vocal performances from all four
original band members, and the last studio album with the original
KISS line-up. Love Gun has since gone on to sell more than four
million copies worldwide.
The 2CD / digital edition includes the complete original album
re-mastered on the first disc, featuring such classics as the title
track 'Plaster Caster', the song inspired by Cynthia Plaster Caster,
the groupie famous for taking casts of rock star genitalia; 'Shock
Me', written about Ace Frehley suffering an electric shock during a
concert in Lakeland, Florida; 'Christine Sixteen', and 'Then She
Kissed Me', the band's cheeky, gender-switching cover of the
Crystals' 1963 hit penned by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil
Spector.
The second disc is made up of rare, previously unreleased Love Gun
demos of 'Plaster Caster', 'Then She Kissed Me', 'Tomorrow and
Tonight' and 'Much Too Soon'. Also, the first four lines of the demo
'I Know Who You Are' eventually evolved and became the song 'Living
In Sin'. A glimpse into Paul Stanley's creative process is
demonstrated in 'Love Gun (Teaching Demo)' with Stanley talking
through the various chords of the song after writing the song with
the next version ' 'Love Guun (Demo)' ' being the complete demo
performance. 'Reputation', the only previously released demo, was
originally included on this year's KISS 40 compilation.
Also included is a 1977 interview with Gene Simmons, as well as
three never-before-available live tracks from the KISS show at the
Capitol Centre, Landover in Maryland U.S.A. from December 20, 1977 '
'Love Gun', 'Christine Sixteen' and 'Shock Me'. The package also
includes liner notes written by Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, currently
on tour with KISS.

September 9 :
Paul McCartney tribute album featuring KISS
From
:
Kiss Related Recordings
 It's
hard to believe but August 2010 it was reported here that KISS
bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons revealed during an interview that the
band spent time at a Los Angeles studio recording a cover version of
"Venus And Mars" for an upcoming PAUL MCCARTNEY tribute album.
February 2012 producer Ralph Sall already had been working on the
album for two and a half years, but had yet to partner with a label
or distributor for the release. Beside working in the studio, he
also planned a TV special (DVD) using footage of the studio sessions and
interview with the participating artists.
From
:
theartofmccartney.com (PRESS RELEASE)
