Love Gun is notable for being the first Kiss album to feature a lead vocal performance from Ace Frehley. This marks the first album for the group to feature lead vocal performances from all four band members. It was also the last studio album to feature the entire original lineup of Kiss on every track, as drummer Peter Criss was replaced by session drummer Anton Fig for much of 1979's Dynasty. KISS’ “classic” era didn’t last long, it included just three studio albums: “Destroyer,” “Rock And Roll Over,” and “Love Gun.” The latter of these albums epitomizes the classic era of the band. It took the classic “KISS” sound as far as it would go. Not only would the album define the “classic era,” but the band’s costumes and stage show would be the representation of the band at their height of popularity. Shortly before Love Gun was completed, a Gallup poll indicated that KISS was the most popular band in the US, beating Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles. August 26 - 28, 1977, KISS records 2 shows at the LA Forum to be used as live material for their next release, Alive II. Inserts for Love Gun first pressing include: A custom artwork inner sleeve A merchandise order form A cardboard "Love Gun" (assembly required) I've included scans for everything that came in the first pressing
