Released in 1978 as part of the legendary KISS solo albums, Gene Simmons is the most ambitious and wide-ranging of the four releases. While still rooted in hard rock, the album reveals Simmons’ broader musical influences — blending arena-ready riffs with orchestral arrangements, pop sensibility, funk grooves, and classic songwriter structure.
The album features the standout single “Radioactive”, complete with a choir and dramatic flair, alongside fan favourites like “Burning Up With Fever” and “See You Tonite.” Packed with guest appearances and fearless experimentation, Gene Simmons captures the Demon unmasked — confident, theatrical, and unapologetically larger than life.
 
This vinyl edition is an essential piece of KISS history and a must-own for collectors of classic rock and 1970s hard rock era vinyl.
