"GREAT KISS OFF" PROMO POSTER

“The Great KISS Off" Long Lost 1974 Promo/Event Poster Surfaces For The First Time in 28 Years!
When: May 12, 1974 — 42 years ago!
Where: Grand Ballroom @ Hotel Diplomat in New York, NY
Event: The Great KISS Off - NY Edition

TheGreatKissOffHotelDiplomat.jpg (70594 Byte)

A highly-sought after May 1974 promotional/event poster for “The Great KISS Off” has finally surfaced through music memrobilia dealer EliteWorks on eBay. This official Casablanca Records promo poster was printed to promote the May 1974 kissing contests that were associated with the band’s first tour. However, since KISS were only three months into their career, and these contests were done through mostly Top 40 stations, no one really knew who the band were or that the contests were afflicted with a rock band. Therefore, the posters were trashed. However, the boyfriend of one of Peter Criss’s sisters wound up with one of the posters and it was stored in a poster tube in his mother’s basement for forty years. This is the first time the poster is being sold on eBay or even in the modern age.

The only other known Great KISS Off poster to have surfaced was in 1988 and that was sold to a private individual in Italy. None of the current Super KISS Collectors own this poster.
The real Great KISS Off auction ends this Sunday.

AGORA BALLROOM 1974 CD

"Agora Ballroom 1974" is a "new" CD available from Amazon: 

(from Amazon UK)
THE BEST KNOWN LIVE 1974 KISS RECORDING IN EXISTENCE In March 1974, Kiss performed Nothin' to Lose, Firehouse, and Black Diamond on ABC's In Concert program, their first television appearance. On April 29th, the band performed Firehouse on The Mike Douglas Show. This broadcast included Simmons first televised interview, a conversation with Douglas in which Simmons declared himself evil incarnate, eliciting titters from an uncomfortable and largely confused studio audience. In-between these two TV performances the band played at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland Ohio, on April 1st 74, in support of Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher, a show broadcast across the greater Ohio Area by WMMS-FM, as part of their Nights Out At The Agora series, letting local rock fans who didnt attend sample a taste of this outrageous new act. This album contains all of the performances mentioned above - the entire Agora show - for the first time ever on CD - and the two television appearances - including the hilarious Mike Douglas interview.

BOOK ON "THE ELDER" COMING IN SEPTEMBER 2016

"Odyssey" will offer the definitive examination of KISS' cult-classic concept album, 1981's "Music From The Elder"

"Odyssey," the latest book from KissFAQ Publishing, will spotlight arguably the most controversial album in the KISS catalog, 1981's "Music From The Elder." Co-authored by Tim McPhate and Julian Gill, the book will be published in September 2016 to coincide with the album's 35th anniversary.

Through a series of long-form interviews and topical features, "Odyssey" will offer the definitive examination of KISS' lone concept album, which has attained cult-classic status among a segment of diehard fans.
Link to YouTube trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tmrgeHWaf8&feature=youtu.be


Ranging from legendary producer Bob Ezrin to "Elder" door maker Bill Finneran and spoken word contributor Christopher Makepeace, the book's long-form interviews were conducted with individuals who either worked on the project or have a connection of sorts, including professionals who have never told their "Elder story." These interviews provide unique perspectives regarding the album's creative process and legacy, in addition to fun anecdotes and personal recollections. A full list of book interviews will be announced at a later date.

The book's topical features will shed more light on KISS' activity in 1981 and early 1982 and dissect the album further with in-depth musical analysis, a comprehensive summary of the album, biographical information on the album's participants, details on the aborted companion "Elder" film, and much more.
While "Music From The Elder" has been mentioned in various music publications and KISS-related books, there has never been a published work that has put this album under a historical microscope. "Odyssey" will offer readers a complete synopsis of "Music From The Elder" and an unobstructed window into this fascinating period in KISStory.

Book pre-orders will be available in the spring. For news and updates, visit www.kissodyssey.com.
