“On an evening in the spring of 1977 my dad drove me to the Menlo Park mall in New Jersey. It was the first time I was ever in a real record store. It was dark and mysterious and my dad was going to buy me a KISS album – my first real album (not a 45rpm). I picked out KISS Alive! Double album that opened up, big booklet, so many songs. I was blown away. I was allowed to listen to a few songs on the turntable in the living before bedtime. My dad told me no one would be listening to the band in 10 years because they were just a fad. Winter came quick and I shovelled snow around my neighborhood to make money so I could buy KISS records. I haven’t heard this record in over 30 years and now I’m happy to have it on CD. This stuff is pure early 70’s hard driving rock. Thick, murky, catchy, and fun. If you love this record, check out “All the World’s a Stage” by Rush. It’s their double live album recorded in 1975 (recorded around the same time as Alive!). Both albums capture a perfect 1970’s hard rocking sound and have the same drive and feel.”
