Which KISS LP would you trade the back cover for the front cover?

Dirty dee · Post by **Dirty dee** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 6:22 pm

Mine would be ALIVE II.

But I believe ALIVE! Has the best back cover in the KISS catalog. I don’t think that would make a good front cover though.

That's tough - it would be an 80s / 90s LP- all of them up to Double Platinum are just perfect & iconic in my opinion

Old Andy said he would switch the front of the creatures of the night 1985 cover with the ass in leather back cover----

I believe it’s Gene’s ass. From memory you can see the belt he’s wearing from that photo shoot.

Creatures. It's just very weird that Eric Carr is so protruding.

It was a woman/female model & not someone previously connected to KISS. Dennis has spoken about this on several occasions.

Not a bad idea from good ol Andy, at least it would've been an accurate n' period/album specific photograph. Plus, old Andy gets himself some leather wrapped booty or

STARZ

(I just laugh they let Sean name them that, even still, like duh) 'smack' on the front cover.

I love the First KISS Last Licks cover, it's that same photo shoot with the guys blindfolded. Would make sense that photo was originally planned to go with the working title Crimes Of Passion, maybe? That cover and title would have been infinitely better...

AstroWarped · Post by **AstroWarped** » Tue Jun 22, 2021 2:24 pm

"Animalize" and "Asylum" come to mind as two that I would switch around, maybe "Revenge" as well!

As to worst back cover: Any of them where it is mainly just text on the back.

In '85 , Gene was not yet the "widette" he is now, but that made me laugh.

Perfect!

Would’ve been cool if one or two of the members were holding a panther, tiger, lion, etc. (like Peter in ‘78)... you know, “Animalize” and all (maybe even Carr holding a fox.)
