Notes
An ambitious "Solo" project with 4 special records was released in 1978. Their 4 Solo albums were released simultaneously in one day. The record label apparently invested about $2.5 million on marketing and promotions for the solo project. For the USA market and vinyl pressing, LP's featured a special jigsaw poster of each member that when you purchased all 4 solo LP's connected together into one large poster or mural. Also included in the unique releases was a Kiss Army/merchandise order form, and custom inner photo sleeve showing all of the 4 releases.
The songs "Burning up With Fever", "Man of 1000 Faces" and "True Confessions" were demoed in August 1975 for the Kiss - Destroyer album but rejected by Bob Ezrin. "See You Tonite" was also demoed in 1975, and the demo versions of all four songs are on the Gene Simmons - The Vault box set, along with a 1976 demo of "Mr Make Believe".

referencing Gene Simmons (LP, Album) LPE 43014
I own this edition made by Polydor with the same matrix, but on the main cover the code is LPR 43014 (front & back), NOT LPE 43014.- Nothing to do with music. Only for hardcore fans who wants show and circus. Without make up they were forgotten longtime ago...
- Edited one year agoEnjoyable, but ultimately forgettable... Somehow, I always figured that Gene Simmons' solo album would be the weirdest of the four and the demon didn't disappoint me. Lots of surprises here as Gene tips his toupee to 1960s Brit-Pop on a couple of tracks, belts out a few rockers, a few ballads, and gives a wink to Jiminy Cricket for the finale. It's not an all-time classic album but it is a fun listen. The picture disc looks super cool (as do the other three solo discs) and sounds fine except for the usual picture disc issues.

I came for Donna Summer, and stayed for Jiminy cricket. Of the band solo albums, Gene's is probably the furthest departure from the KISS sound. I never realized "See You Tonight", "Man Of 1000 Faces", and "Mr Make Believe" are Beatles-esque. Nice.
Highlights are "Radioactive", "Livin' in Sin".
Too many cameos to mention, but it's all over the place. Love the screamin' gtr solo by Joe Perry on "Tunnel Of Love".
3 stars. Not as good as Paul nor Ace's, but way better than Peter's. This is my original copy, purchased in '78 when it hit the shelves. Pressing has inner groove distortion on last track side B - My copy on Side 2 song 6 has Misprinted writing credits (Med) instead of (Ned) Washington. I’ve seen this on the promo. Anyone have this on the standard issue.

Paid $7 for this in Norway. The one selling a VG/VG from Germany at $77, must be quite wicked, unless it is a typing error with a 7 too much. 🤣referencing Gene Simmons (LP, Album, Stereo) NBLP 7120
It's a who's who of the record industry of the time. I'm a early Kiss fan. I only have it because it's the last of the original members. It lacks the original quality of all members combined. I can honestly only recommend this album to close put your Kiss portion of your collection.- Is this any different than Kiss, Gene Simmons - Gene Simmons? Should it be merged? https://www.discogs.com/Kiss-Gene-Simmons-Gene-Simmons/release/702539
