Let’s start with this fact: this 1973 record is one
of the most sought-after collector’s items of
its era. Why? Well, first of all, Lyn Christopher’s
self-titled release on the Paramount label is a
really fine album, a beguiling blend of pop and
R&B sounds featuring the artist’s winsome
vocals backed by some of New York’s finest
studio cats, like guitarist Hugh McCracken,
Blood Sweat & Tears multi-instrumentalist
Lou Marini Jr., and future Back Street Crawler
keyboardist Mike Montgomery. And “Take Me
with You,” 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 “One
by One.” 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 Chaim Witz and Stanley
Eisen are, then you probably already know the answer. That’s right…this
album marks the first appearance on record of Gene Simmons and Paul
Stanley of KISS! They sing background vocals on two tracks, “Celebrate
II” and “Weddin’”; and supposedly that’s Peter Criss doing handclaps.
What’s more, this album introduced legendary engineer Eddie Kramer—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 Casablanca, and the rest, as they say, is history!
We at Real Gone are thrilled to FINALLY be reissuing this fabled album on CD and
light blue vinyl, remastered by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision and complete with
liner notes by Bill Kopp that set the stage. A real slice of pop music history that
you gotta hear!
