This is the twelth studio album from KISS. Released September 13, 1984 on Mercury Records. The album marked the only appearance by lead guitarist Mark St. John (née Mark Norton), who replaced Vinnie Vincent in April 1984. St. John stated that when recording this record, he had utilized his Rockman gear, and that heavy equalization was used to take the "Boston" sound out of the recording. He would be forced to leave Kiss during the subsequent tour after being diagnosed with Reiter's Syndrome. By November 1984 he was out of the band, the third lead guitarist to exit the band in two years. Without Vinnie, KISS was back on the market looking for a new guitarist, and new song-writing partners. KISS’ lead-guitarist position was quickly becoming the “most temporary job in town.” Rather than go through the expense of auditioning another 100 guitar players, guitar maker Grover Jackson gave Paul a list of 10 guitarists. One of these prospective candidates was one Mark Norton. Mark was a technically gifted Californian guitarist, who’d be re-christened Mark St. John, but his audition tape had something special, and Paul knew whom the next guitarist in KISS would be. I have included complete scans from the original US pressing.
