Kiss' 5th studio album, this one decidedly heavier than the priors. Writing is decent with some strong singles.

Highlights here are "I Want You", "Hard Luck Woman", and "Calling Dr Love". I remember back in '77 going to the pizza joint and playing Calling Dr Love 3 times in a row for a quarter. Patrons we're not pleased In that very disco environment.

Recording is just decent, a bit congested, some instruments competing in frequency. Sorry, Eddie Kramer. Pressing is good, no issues.

3.5 stars

I'm in no way an expert on sound quality and re-pressings, etc. But I once read that Kiss had recorded this album in an (empty) stadium so it would sound like their live recordings (from wikipedia: Rock and Roll Over is the fifth studio album by American rock band Kiss, released in 1976. It was recorded at the Star Theatre in Nanuet, New York.) .
Maybe that's the cause of the album sounding different thna how you would expect it.
BTW Back in the day I was a fan and had also bought two live bootlegs: Fried Alive (1976, but with a concert of 1974, you can see that's true because all the songs are from their first album, except the last track, that's Rock 'N' Roll All Night (San Diego '76), see https://www.discogs.com/master/538991-Kiss-Fried-Alive and one from a concert in Japan, but the sound was really rather awful and e.g. the famous drum solo of 100.000 years that is quite fantastic and lasts for minutes on end on Alive! takes maybe half a minute but probably less.

You know, KISS were never produced or recorded with sound quality being the primary objective or anywhere near it.
I like their music, but I'll be the first to recognize that their albums ain't "Aja".
And beware of "MFSL" KISS releases. Just another way to milk the fans.

To be honest I wasn't sure when buying this if I'd like it or not. But I needless to say that this is one of my favourites.

How does the price go from $3 to $49?? How do I know what to sell it for?

I have a version with a different album label. It has the Casablanca Filmworks label.. similar, but different from the label shown. Same Label Number NBLP 7037 with printed sleeve and Die-Cut sticker. Not sure if there is a missing 70s issue of this album or what.... any ideas?
