Extra Notes : (by
Julian
Gill / KISSfaq)
The album includes a re-recorded version of Fred's Five Satins
1956 hit, "In The Still Of The Night." Vinnie was doing session
work at this studio at the time of the recording of this album,
so his specific recording contributions are not specified on the
credits.
He is mis-creditted on the album as "Vinnie Casano." It's seems
likely that any session work was restricted to the songs
recorded at Conneticut Recording Studios.
Those tracks are “Tears, Tears, Tears,” “Let My Fingers Do The
Walking,” “We’re A Star,” and “In The Still Of The Night”,
since the others seem to date from early 1975 while the rest
seem to date from the end of that year and the following.
An extended disco version of "Tears, Tears, Tears" exists from
12" singles.
Paul Leka had co-written (with
Dale Frasier and Gary DeCarlo)
the 1969 #1 hit "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," which has
become a popular crowd chant at sporting events. Paul Leka owned
Connecticut Recording Studios where Vinnie Vincent did session
work for
Hitchhikers,
Black Satin, and other acts.
