An amazing Vinnie Vincent artifact - Vinnie's personal studio tapes of various demos from the mid-'80s soon after leaving KISS. These were basically tapes Vinnie would copy from the masters for his personal use away from the studio. What makes these tapes extra-special is that the song titles were hand written by Vinnie himself!
Before being in KISS, Vinnie was a studio musician and then, as he is doing here after leaving KISS, is writing songs to shop around to various artist or record companies. Two of the songs are notable - Tears, was recorded by John Wait in 1984 and went on to become a huge hit. Back on the Streets was recorded later by his band Vinnie Vincent Invasion, but was also recorded for the 1984 movie Voyage of the Rock Aliens and later by John Norum in 1987. It also showed up on unreleased Ace Frehley demos and was rumored to have been recorded by KISS for the Creatures of the Night album, but was dropped from the final cut.
Many of the same song titles appear each on the tapes, but they are all TOTALLY different mixes.
Sound on the tapes is crystal clear, as they were recorded straight from the studio masters.
