{"product_id":"unmasked-shm","title":"Unmasked [SHM]","description":"Kiss: Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley (vocals, guitar); Gene Simmons (vocals, bass); Peter Criss (vocals, drums).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Anton Fig (drums).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at The Record Plant, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Robert Conte.\u003cbr\u003eDigitally remastered by Bill Levenson.\u003cbr\u003eReleased in 1980, UNMASKED is the first album by Kiss not featuring the four original members. Although featured on the album cover, drummer Peter Criss was replaced by session man and David Letterman band member Anton Fig. With disco all but dead and new wave setting in, the group took a pop approach with producer Vini Poncia at the helm. While the record may have alienated hard core fans that were used to the band's heavier sound, the record did manage to appeal to Kiss' ever growing kiddie base.\u003cbr\u003eThe band's lyrical content remained consistent though, as \"Is That You?\" describes a vixen-like character close to the group. \"Shandi\", the only single off the record, is a catchy pop ballad featuring Paul Stanley on lead vocals. Lead guitarist Ace Frehley contributes vocally to 2 tracks: \"Talk To Me\" and \"Torpedo Girl\", increasing his input in the group compared to previous years. While UNMASKED may not be Kiss's hardest rocking offering, it's certainly a tight, well crafted rock album that is thoroughly enjoyable and showcases the band's talents.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51449244123423,"sku":"4988005749048","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/82a265f4c39e01a33dc793dacbe22787_8a19c969-8383-4361-8d81-5211ba6c800f.jpg?v=1777844398","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/unmasked-shm","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
