WHIPLASH

This photo was taken by Lynn Goldsmith, a photographer of great note.
We had custom made outfits in this pic designed by Charlie Cochran and Maria Contessa. Maria helped design and handmade all of Kiss' stage outfits.
We are riding quite high by this time, working in the studio with famed Producer Jimmy Iovine and seemingly on our way with Polygram Records

Lynn Goldsmith, our photographer on this shoot, had a very famous boyfriend. His name was Bruce Springsteen.
The interesting thing in this pic is that Johnny Gale is wearing The Boss' jacket, right out of his closet - Shhhh!!
