Palmaccio. Liner Note Author: Robert V. Conte. Recording information: Bell Sound Studios, New York, NY (10\/1973). Photographer: Joel Brodsky. Kiss' penchant for make-up was inspired by their downtown New York neighbors the New York Dolls and by Alice Cooper, who was on top of the glam-rock world when Kiss' self-titled debut came out in 1974. Rather than dress in drag as the Dolls did, Kiss fashioned their look on a mix of sci-fi and horror films, and the rock \u0026amp; roll of their youth. They fashioned their music on willful hard-rock arrogance. Several songs on KISS became staples in the group's catalog. \"Strutter,\" about a beautiful woman with a confident swagger, mirrored the attitude of the band, and it contained the first of many incendiary Ace Frehley solos. The album also contains \"Cold Gin,\" Ace's signature song; \"Deuce,\" with its quintessential sexual posturing and fiery soloing; and \"Black Diamond,\" Paul Stanley's epic tribute to a streetwalker with a hardscrabble life. Kiss' hunger to succeed resulted in some interesting recording choices, such as transforming teen idol Bobby Rydell's \"Kissin' Time\" into a stomper with singalong choruses typical of early-'70s pop. There's even an instrumental, \"Love Theme From Kiss,\" a showcase for the quartet's musical synchronicity. It was the beginning of a long and influential career.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/15\/1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":49258141843698,"sku":"QYZIC2-LR61-M8","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/kiss-kiss_55UiG.jpg?v=1779705777","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/kiss-cd-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
