From : Jaime St.James and Tommy Thayer (May 21, 2022)
We’ve been friends a long time. We were talking the other day
and realized that we’ve known each other, written songs, and played
in bands together since we were 18 years old. That’s well over 40
years! Here’s five songs we uncovered recently that we’d almost
forgotten about. These recordings were saved for more than 30 years
on 2” analog multitrack tape and two track mixes on 1/4” tape, but
were unfortunately disintegrated beyond use. After some digging, a
DAT tape and a cassette were the only usable sources we could find.
These recordings were almost lost forever. Now thanks to a bit of
digital polishing, these songs have come to life! We thought they
should see the light of day.
From : vwmusicrocks.com Tommy Thayer interview (June 1, 2022)
After the release of BLACK 'N BLUE 's 1988 album "In
Heat",
Tommy Thayer and Jamie St.James demoed a couple of tracks for what
would have been BLACK 'N BLUE 's fifth album or according to Tommy
Thayer the possibility to start a new band.
All tracks are basically written and recorded by Jaime and Tommy
Thayer.
Jeff Labansky and Mitch Perry did a couple of guest guitar solos.

From : Kiss Related Recordings
"American Man" on the
THAYER - St. JAMES disc is the same version of the song as recorded
by SHAMELESS
("Queen For A Day" album
2000) and
TUFF
("The
History Of Tuff album 2001).
According to RLS Records catalog "American Man"
was first hand delivered to
Stevie Rachelle
& TUFF by none other than Gene Simmons himself. Originally it was
meant to be recorded and included on the follow up to TUFF's
"What comes around...Goes around" but somehow got lost in the
shuffle.
NOTE: SHAMELESS'
version of
"American Man"
also features
Stevie Rachelle's
lead vocals.
