Why? Well, first of all, \u003cstrong\u003eLyn Christopher\u003c\/strong\u003e’s self-titled release on the \u003cstrong\u003eParamount\u003c\/strong\u003e label is a really fine album, a beguiling blend of pop and R\u0026amp;B sounds featuring the artist’s winsome vocals backed by some of New York’s finest studio cats, like guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eHugh McCracken\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBlood Sweat \u0026amp; Tears\u003c\/strong\u003e multi-instrumentalist \u003cstrong\u003eLou Marini\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJr.\u003c\/strong\u003e, and future \u003cstrong\u003eBack Street Crawler\u003c\/strong\u003e keyboardist \u003cstrong\u003eMike Montgomery\u003c\/strong\u003e. And “\u003cem\u003eTake Me with You\u003c\/em\u003e,” the penultimate song on the album, has been sampled by Mobb Deep’s Havoc, LL Cool J, 50 Cent, The Game, and, memorably, by the Smut Peddlers on their 2001 underground classic “\u003cem\u003eOne by One\u003c\/em\u003e.” But there is another very big reason why original copies of Lyn Christopher command a king’s ransom (and no, it’s not because it’s never been reissued in any format). If you know who \u003cstrong\u003eChaim Witz\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eStanley Eisen\u003c\/strong\u003e are, then you probably already know the answer. That’s right…this album marks the first appearance on record of \u003cstrong\u003eGene Simmons\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Stanley\u003c\/strong\u003e of \u003cstrong\u003eKISS\u003c\/strong\u003e! They sing background vocals on two tracks, “\u003cem\u003eCelebrate II\u003c\/em\u003e” and “\u003cem\u003eWeddin’\u003c\/em\u003e”; and supposedly that’s \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Criss\u003c\/strong\u003e doing handclaps. What’s more, this album introduced legendary engineer \u003cstrong\u003eEddie Kramer\u003c\/strong\u003e—who, though unbilled, was engineering the sessions—to Simmons and Stanley, who were still calling their band Wicked Lester. Kramer then produced the four-song demo that got KISS signed to \u003cstrong\u003eCasablanca\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the rest, as they say, is history! We at \u003cstrong\u003eReal Gone\u003c\/strong\u003e are thrilled to FINALLY be reissuing this fabled album on CD and light blue vinyl, remastered by \u003cstrong\u003eMike Milchner\u003c\/strong\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003eSonic Vision\u003c\/strong\u003e and complete with liner notes by \u003cstrong\u003eBill Kopp\u003c\/strong\u003e that set the stage.
