About the Album

Released in November 1976 on Casablanca Records, Rock And Roll Over arrived at a pivotal moment in Kiss's ascent — a deliberate return to raw, arena-ready hard rock after the more polished production of Destroyer. Recorded live off the floor at Cherokee Studios in Hollywood, the album captures the band at their most elemental: loud, direct, and uncompromising. It debuted at #11 on the Billboard 200, driven by relentless touring and a fanbase that had grown into one of the most devoted in rock.

Artist Highlights

Kiss — Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss — were at the height of their theatrical and commercial powers in the mid-1970s. Known for elaborate live shows featuring fire-breathing, pyrotechnics, and kabuki-style face paint, the band had built their reputation as much on spectacle as on songcraft. By 1976, they were among the top-grossing live acts in North America, and Rock And Roll Over served as the fuel for a record-breaking touring machine.

Notable Tracks

The record opens with the charging "I Want You" and delivers standout cuts including "Hard Luck Woman" — a Peter Criss showcase that crossed over to mainstream radio — and blunt-force crowd-pleasers "Calling Dr. Love" (one of the band's signature live staples) and "Makin' Love." Every track was written to be played at volume, on vinyl, exactly like this.
