Ahhhhhh, yes, me too!!!! i was always fascinated by this particular session and i always wondered about it. those pics are absolutely the best. they got a very special athmosphere, the colors, the settings, i always loved the very few pics i knew from the cover. even back then, in the mid 70s, i was totally hooked by those. do you have more of this session? (hehe, do you have one or two in a higher resolution??)
i guess, to buy at seeffs site won t be a bargain…

Although Lydia (Peter’s wife at that time) was at the infamous photo shoot, that isn’t her pictured with him ‘topless. It’s actually the girl on the very far right of the top (first) picture. She’s wearing the black panties & the ‘bird’/feathered style neck-piece that went with the mask.

These photos are amazing — incredibly cool to see them after being a fan for so many years. The band looks tight, cohesive, and brimming with enthusiasm, albeit also goofy as hell! With photos like these the album could have perhaps been called “Goofier Than Hell” but I really love it — the young, hungry foursome out to have fun together and conquer the world. Thank you so much for posting these!

there were actually 3 separate photo-sessions- for the “hotter than hell”-panels.

from ace’s 8-17-74 letter- he wrote: “yesterday (the- 16th), we all went to get props & costumes for the pictures on the back of the album-cover…”

1- the norman seeff color-shoot (at ‘the stage’- in hollywood, california)- for the back-cover (8-18-74).

2- the b&w-one- above (where- ace is only wearing partial makeup), for- the front-cover. (ace’s accident had happened- 8-23-74)

3- another b&w-one- which came afterward (where ace’s facial-wounds had time to heal- therefore he was fully painted), for- the front-cover.

(this info. is documented- in “‘kiss’: alive forever” (pg. 39).

p.s.: hi to ‘ren5150′- from ‘t.t.s.’. (i’m the guy from ’sagafoo’- that posted that japanese press-conference audio. still- haven’t found any video, though. cheers!)
