Kiss - Rock and Roll Over

Me too! Remember the big sticker inside? I remember Love Gun had this cardboard/paper gun thing in it too. I can't remember what Destroyer had. You always got a prize with Kiss records.

Plus you got an invitation to join their fan club (my mom wouldn't let me of course).  The big sticker took a LOT of work to get off of my window once it was time to remove it - heh...

I already had a couple of other LP's like Meet The Beatles that my aunt gave me, but I think Steppenwolf Live was the first one I bought. 

Beatles - Rubber Soul

In Search of the Lost Chord (1968) - The Moody Blues

Jimi Hendrix- 'Are You Experienced'

The Kiss album was my first rock album.  Before that, I had some Classical including a box-set, an early Beach Boys album and the following classic:
 

I used to know then 1970 happened and I am not sure of anything anymore... but I think it was fun.. I think. At least everything is back to norbal now.
 
Probably Meet The BEATLES.

I think Daryl like little white ducks. 

In 1970 I was still lost.  Then, in early 1971, I was introduced to programming and I wasn't sure of anything anymore.  I think it was fun, I think I thought.  Maybe.  Or not.  Who knows?

Which was the first record album you bought for your own money? Mine was King Cobras "Thrill of a lifetime". A hard rock band that had released a previous single that i liked ("Hunger"), so I bought their new record. I remember dissapointment over the lame sound, not as heavy rock as in "Hunger". It's very predictable songs, not at all my cup of tea nowadays. =)

You must be a bit on the younger side. I played with Dave Henzerling, who went by David Phillip Thomas or some damn name in that band. A bass player I played with auditioned for Carmine Appice for that band also. I went with him to LA for the audition and Peter Criss was at Carmine's house that day. Pretty cool afternoon. Dave toured with King Kobra. They got the support slot for a Kiss tour. Dave said they were getting $35 a day. Carmine was the only one making any money. Carmine was in his late 40's and everyone else in the band was early 20's.

Dave went back to school and got an engineering degree. He married a porn star and has a couple of kids now. He's still gigging around Phoenix. My brother saw him 2 weeks ago. And you're right, those albums sucked.
