Kiss, Gene Simmons – Gene Simmons (Japan Release)

Kiss, Gene Simmons – Gene Simmons (1978 Japan Release)

The Japanese pressing of Gene Simmons' legendary 1978 solo debut — and it comes with the lyric sheet and original Gene poster intact. No OBI strip, but the vinyl and cover are both excellent. A serious collector's copy of one of hard rock's most iconic solo records.

Released simultaneously with the other three KISS solo albums in 1978, the Gene Simmons LP is a cornerstone of any KISS collection. The Japan pressing adds an extra layer of rarity and desirability — tighter pressings, superior quality control, and the kind of provenance that collectors seek out.
