Here is a link to a blurb about the new book about Casablanca coming out this Fall. I would imagine that there will be some items about Angel.

Man, there's a lot of anger shown in the responses to the posting of that news item on blabbermouth. Glad those idiots don't come on here!
Really looking forward to this book. The publication Curt and Jeff produced on Kiss was fantastic. |

Hello everyone,
As one of the coauthors (and as a huge fan myself), I can 100% assure you And Party Every Day: The Inside Story of Casablanca Records will contain a ton of information on Angel. Three of the band members made contributions to the book and speaking for Larry Harris and Jeff Suhs, we can't wait for you to read it. The book centers around label founder Neil Bogart and the day-to-day activities at Casablanca while weaving in (mostly) untold stories of Angel, KISS, Parliament, Donna Summer, and the Village People. And Party Every Day explores what it took to break each artist while trying not to go mad from all the 1970s debauchery that ensued in and around the hallowed halls of 8255 Sunset Boulevard. We worked with Larry for over two years on the manuscript to make sure everything was accurate.
Thanks,
Curt Gooch

I hope there's some good stuff on 707, Trigger, The Group With No Name, Lightning, Cher and The Godz (on the Millenium imprint) as well. This book has been needed for a long time!!! Congrats!!!!! |

Most of the Anger is toward KISS..........I am a KISS fan but they really were ruined after Rock & Roll Over in my opinion. They quit being a bad ass rock
band and became more interested in being a toy factory. Same as today. I am curious to hear the new album though.

the anger at KISS perplexes me...no one is forcing anyone to buy any products they don't want...KISS never made any pretensions at being serious
artists...they've always made it known they want to be this huge money-making monster.... I can, perhaps, understand the anger at Thayer and Singer wearing
Ace and Peter's make-up but, then again, those 2 cats weren't exactly cutting the mustard live (especially Peter)....
I am very anxious to hear the new album. I still love them. |

"Thank God it's Friday" is a classic........The Village People were not in it. You must be thinking of 'Can't Stop the Music".

The other bands not so much, only because Larry couldn't remember anything noteworthy about them. However, we did locate a Trigger TV spot of sorts from 1978 so we will also have that on our YouTube channel. And just wait till you see the unreleased Angel footage we found. (And, no, it's not Angel At Midnight.) Curt |

i could not disagree more with the comments above trashing ace and peter. i have tons of kiss live and gene screws up all the time. its a joke really. there is
even a huge screw up on the kissology vol 1. i surprised they even realeased it. they are playing rock and roll and gene is playing and singing rock and roll
all night. and how did you like paul stanley falling flat on his face on american idol the other week. what was up with that. he needs to give it up too. in
addition i have several live recordings of ace and peter in the mid 90's playing live and billed as "the bad boys of kiss" it is all SPOT ON !
peters voice is very important to the early kiss sound. his playing is fine and Ace Frehley is one of the most original sounding and looking guitar players is
the history of rock. they can cut the hell out of some mustard. and some ketchup and some beer too.

Ace COULD play around the time of ALIVE but now he sounds as if his fingers are caught between the strings.

"You should've heard Ace ripping the shit off the walls of KISS old rehearsal loft when we used to watch them rehearse. Egg cartons all over the
walls, Gene's SVT cabinet has 'Jack Bruce' stenciled on it. They sounded real tight as a 3-piece, but when Ace showed up, holy shit, they really
shredded...But Ace never used to do any stage moves, he just leaned up against the wall and ripped out these Jeff Beck sounding pieces...
Paul used to go over to him and try to nudge him to get moving, and he used to laugh... When they used to set up their gear to play, Gene and Paul used to sing the parts of Steeler's Wheel song 'Stuck in the middle with you', they'd split the lines: Gene: "Clowns to the left of me"... Paul: "Joker's to the right, here I am" Both: "Stuck in the middle with youooooo"... But that Ace, really funny cab driver he was...Saw the purple and orange sneakers and grey pinstripe suit too. He kinda looked a bit like Shirley McClain back then... I was privileged to have 'been there' to see the magic being created...Ask Lydia Criss, she can validate that....I knew Peter before he was in KISS..." --Rik Fox-- |

Holy Jesus! Neil Bogart had to have shelved that sucker. Talk about not the image they wanted for the band. Where did you find that Curt?
Best bit - Felix kissing the chick's leg. |
