NEW Casablanca Book from KISS Alive Forever Authors

[AJ]

The following is from Jeff Suhs:

Hi all,

It's been ages (quite literally years) since I posted on the board,
but the recent thread on Casablanca is as good a reason as any to
share some exciting news.

Casablanca Records, as most of you know, was KISS's original home, and
the place where many acts, even the disco movement itself to a large
degree, got their start. Some of you know that Larry Harris was the
executive vice president and part owner of the label.

Over the course of the past two years, Curt Gooch and I have had the
great privilege of working with Larry Harris on his Casablanca
memoirs. The efforts have resulted in the only authorized, insider's
recounting of Casablanca Records' amazing rise and equally
catastrophic fall. This is not some third-party take on things; Larry
lived this, front-row-center, for seven years. There is no person
alive today more qualified to tell this tale.

We do not have a lot of specifics yet, except to say the book is
almost finished and will be published by Backbeat Books (an imprint of
Hal Leonard) this fall. The working title is ...And Party Every Day:
The Inside Story of Casablanca Records.

I don't know how big the book will be, or how many pages. It is a text-
heavy book and gets into some great (and we think fascinating) detail
about KISS, Donna Summer, the Village People, Parliament, and Angel,
among dozens of other acts, and (of course) the remarkable and
ambitious Neil Bogart. It will definitely contain photos, and much
like we did with KISS Alive Forever, we went out of our way to make
sure almost all of them have never been seen before.

I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone might have. Speaking for
Larry, Curt, and myself, we can't wait for you all to read it.
