History
This is the first solo album by Ace Frehley, the lead guitarist of KISS, released in 1978 as part of a simultaneous release of four solo albums by each band member. The album was a commercial success, reaching #26 on the Billboard 200 and eventually achieving platinum status. The iconic cover features Frehley in his signature 'Spaceman' makeup against a dark background with blue highlights, consistent with the theatrical image KISS cultivated throughout the 1970s. This album is highly valued by KISS collectors and classic rock enthusiasts for its historical significance as a milestone in the band's career and for featuring some of Frehley's most celebrated work, including the hit single 'New York Groove.' Vinyl collectors particularly seek original 1978 pressings in good condition, as they represent an important piece of rock music history from one of the most successful and influential bands of the era.
