Kiss, Destroyer, 1976 on Casablanca

This was the fourth full length for Kiss, with the Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley line up, supported by Dick Wagner on three tracks. (Sadly Ace passed this week).

This is the first vinyl record I remember holding and listening to – I loved “Beth” and the Casablanca label – but I’ve no real idea how i came to have it. It wasn’t a first pressing so a later 70s reissue on the “filmworks” Casablanca label. I still know all the words and the solo to “Beth. ” (Was “Beth” the first in the tradition of soft piano ballads by heavy metal bands? Certainly the earliest I know).

My current copy (not the one I originally had) has the misprint on side B where the “1” is missing and the blue “Bogart” Casablanca label – via A1 Records in NYC.
