Japanese remastered edition of Paul Stanley's solo album edited in 1978, when every member of KISS recorded his own album. We can find the colaboration of Carmine Appice or Bob Kullick among others.

From RateYourMusic:
Paul Stanley had always been the Kiss member with the best vocal and songwriting chops, so it is no surprise that when the band decided to release four solo albums at once, he took the bull by the horns to produce the best, most sophisticated and most consistent of the four.

Criticism that he did not stray far enough from the type of music he would have written for a Kiss album is short sighted. Unlike most Kiss albums, there is nothing slack, silly or brainless about any of the tracks here. In fact, it is an album of nine songs at the level of the very best he had ever written for the band - think `Love Gun', `C'mon and Love Me', `Black Diamond' and anything he wrote for `Destroyer'. There is much light and shade here and some real versatility of style within the rock format.

Stanley's lustrous tenor has rarely been recorded better than it is on `Paul Stanley'. And the musicianship of the various players, along with the male and female backing vocalists he assembled for the record, lend it a real sense of class. Production duties went to Jeff Glixman who had worked extensively with art prog rock band Kansas, as well as Marvin Gaye. His approach perfectly suits the epic nature of some of the songs and the balladry on others. There is a real atmosphere on this record which makes it feel quite adult in comparison to most Kiss recordings.

Though all the songs are outstanding, the lush and moody `Take Me Away (Together As One)', with its slow finger picked verses and soaring hard rock chorus is a showstopper. Topped off with what must be one of the most beautiful lead guitar breaks in the pantheon of rock, followed by multilayered angelic backing vocals over Stanley's wrought voice in the coda, it is difficult to beat. Other standouts are the similarly epic opener, `Tonight You Belong To Me', the rockers `Wouldn't You Like To Know Me', `Love in Chains' and `Goodbye' and the hauntingly soulful ballad, `Ain't Quite Right'.

A great and underrated record, `Paul Stanley' also spelled the last time Kiss would produce something truly cohesive. Along with `Kiss' and `Destroyer' it is one of the three must haves in the Kiss catalogue.
