As founding member and lead guitarist of Kiss, ACE FREHLEY – known affectionately as the Space Ace – was probably one of the most identifiable rock stars of the ’70s. Indeed, his profile was so prominent that when management had the brilliant idea of releasing four solo albums simultaneously, it was Ace’s record that not only sold the most but...
One of you have asked our impression about the Japanese, high-fidelity SHM-CD format remastered version of “Revenge”, the underrated and killer KISS album originally released in 1992. Well, this remaster sounds million bucks. It’s much, much deeper at the low midrange, the overall sonic spectrum is clearer and it possesses a great dynamic range. Also, it’s being sold pretty cheap...
This rarity was requested by one of you; KISS Japanese-only release disc “Chikara”. Chikara (Japanese for “power”) was released on CD only in Japan in support of KISS’ 1988 Japanese tour. It includes KISS classics, many with different mixes and a picture sleeve featuring each band member in the the letters of the KISS logo. Exclusive to the Japanese market,...

ACE FREHLEY is on a roll, and he’s ready to embark on his next musical journey with “Spaceman”, his third solo outing in four years, and eighth overall. Amongst Ace’s post-KISS recorded output, “Spaceman might” be the closest link to his widely acclaimed 1978 solo record, both in spirit and execution. First off, Frehley played all of the guitar parts...
PETER CRISS album “Cat #1” has been finally reissued after a long legal dispute between indie label Tony Nicole Tony Records (who originally released the album) and Gene Simmons / Paul Stanley and ultimately, Criss himself.The album also features former Kiss bandmate Ace Frehley playing guitar on three tracks, ex-Talas singer Phil Naro, and future Queensryche guitarist Mike Stone.

Here’s another special request; HEAR ‘n AID “Stars”, the ’80s metal all-star benefit album. Unbelievable, but the record never was reissued / remastered nor even released on CD yet. The only existing official CD press of HEAR ‘n AID is this Japanese release from 1994, of course out of print and with used copies fetching over U$D 250 at eBay....
KISS “Hot In The Shade” released in Japan on high quality SHM-CD should be the most requested album on this blog ever. That’s because “Hot In The Shade” is perhaps the worst – technically speaking – sounding album of their entire career, and fans are looking for an improvement. 1988 was probably the worst year in KISS’ history. Their popularity...

Frehley is...
