About
When Simmons and Stanley hit the big time with Kiss in the mid- to late '70s, the unreleased Wicked Lester album gained major interest among Kiss fans -- especially after a pair of Wicked Lester songs, "She" and "Love Her All I Can," were re-cut by Kiss themselves for their 1975 Dressed to Kill album (another early Kiss song, "Goin' Blind," was credited to both Simmons and Coronel, but appears to have been written either before or after Wicked Lester). The unreleased Wicked Lester album (and its artwork) was bought by Kiss' label, Casablanca, in 1977 so that Columbia wouldn't cash in on Kiss' success by releasing the aborted record (which also included pictures of Simmons and Stanley without makeup), but bootleg copies of the album eventually began making the rounds in fan circles. 2001 saw the appearance of the first officially released Wicked Lester tracks ("Keep Me Waiting," as well as the aforementioned "She" and "Love Her All I Can") on Kiss' self-titled, five-disc box set. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
