KISS SOLO PROMOS

In an effort to support the future of the band, as well as answer a desire to stretch by guitarist Ace Frehley, each member of KISS famously recorded their own solo album in 1978. The records allowed the guys to explore and shine in new ways and the results were mostly fun! Fans tend to put Ace's effort at the top (his New York Groove continues to be a mainstay on KISS mixes). I'm also fond of the experimental vibe that Gene Simmons took for his album. All of the solo records (and group KISS records) were remastered on vinyl in 2014. Here are two promo TV spots from 1978 spotlighting Paul, Gene, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the records were manufactured. Great release party footage at a record store! Enjoy!
