Out of Control (Peter Criss album)
| Untitled | |
|---|---|
Out of Control is the second solo album (his first being his 1978 self-titled) released by former Kiss drummer Peter Criss. Recording for the album began in March 1980, when Criss was still officially a member of Kiss. The album sold very poorly, and was not re-released on CD until 1997, as the Kiss reunion tour was underway.
The lone single from the album, "I Found Love", failed to chart. The album also features a hidden bonus track of a cover of "As Time Goes By". Criss sang the first two lines, "you must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss". The album also included a cover of the song "You Better Run" by The Young Rascals.
The album is now Out of print
