Dressed to Kill
is the third
studio album
by American
Hard Rock band
released on
March 19, 1975.
It was produced by
Casablanca Records
president
Neil Bogart
and the
band itself
as the label's
financial situation
at the time
did not permit
the hiring of a
professional producer.
Album Information
Possibly due
to the short length
of the album,
original vinyl versions
had long pauses
between each track
to make
the sides longer
than they would
be based on
the material
they had.
Each side ran
just 15 minutes,
and some of the
song times
were listed incorrectly
on the
vinyl versions.
For example,
"Two Timer"
was listed
at 2:59
and
"Ladies in Waiting"
was listed
at 2:47.
The album cover
was photographed
on
October 26, 1974
by Bob Gruen.
While the cover
depicts Kiss
in business suits,
the only member
of the band
who owned one
was
Peter Criss.
The suits worn on
the cover
by the
rest of
the band
were owned by
manager
Bill Aucoin.
The original
vinyl release
of the album
also had the
Kiss logo
embossed around
the picture.
The photograph
of the band
on the
album cover
was taken on
the southwest corner
of W23rd Street
and
8th Avenue
looking North
in New York City.
Recording
Recorded in 10 days
at Electric Lady
in Studio B
during
February of 1975
with the working title
"Kiss at Midnight".
According to
Peter Criss,
Neil Bogart's
first decision as
a producer was
to bring in a
pound of weed.
Paul Stanley
stated that
Neil didn't do much
except say
“that's a good take.”
"He wasn't trying to
keep it fresh,
but save money.
I remember doing
a sloppy take
and his saying
“Well that should do it.
” And I said, no....”.
Ace Frehley
recorded his
guitar parts
using a speaker
with a
cardboard box
for the shell.
Paul Stanley
played the lead
on the intro to
"C'mon and Love Me".
Gene Simmons
played guitar on
“Ladies in Waiting
Simmons said,
“Ladies in Waiting”
was written in the studio,
in one afternoon
and taught to
the band that night.
It was all done
very quickly
with little thought.
” Paul mentions adding
acoustic guitars to
"Anything for My Baby “…
because BTO was doing it.”
Roadie
Paul Chavarria
said all of the roadies
are on the
chorus of
“Rock and Roll All Nite”
pulling their zippers
on their leather jackets
up and down
to the rhythm
of the song.
