MAY 23, 1979 – KISS released “Dynasty,” their seventh studio album. Produced by Vini Poncia (Giorgio Moroder was originally scheduled to produce) and released on Casablanca Records, it marked the first time that the original four members of KISS did not all appear together in the studio for the entire album. In later interviews, the band admitted that they started to listen to outsiders about what direction the music should go around the time of “Dynasty.”
The album includes a colorful jacket cover. The album cover is actually a collage of photos taken from the photo session and not a group shot as it appears. The label shows a portrait of all four members instead of the usual Casablanca label. Inserts included a merchandise order form and a full-color poster.
