The band’s 13th studio album called ‘Asylum’ came out on September 16, 1985. It only had one official retail issued single and that was the ballad “Tears Are Falling”. The also released two other promotional singles which were “Who Wants To Be Lonely” and the one we are here to talk about “Uh! All Night”. They actually made videos for all three songs which we filmed in London. The album was certified Gold by November 1985 which means Kiss still had a solid following at this time. The videos on MTV helped even if they were cheesy and drenched in the bold colors and ridiculous outfits that were the rage at the time. Kiss were chasing trends at this point, not setting them anymore.

What we are going to discuss is this Promotional only radio single which I now have in my collection thanks to my Brother, Gary, finding it in the wild at some shop in Georgia. It is housed in a generic Emerald Green Polygram jacket with a jagged looking hole which I think looks pretty cool. Sides A and B are the same song in stereo and the label has the “Promotional Copy: Not For Sale” on the label. One cool thing about it the Vinyl is that if you hold it up to a light source, it has a green translucent color to it (the picture doesn’t quite capture it, but trust me it has a green tint). My copy was well loved by the radio station and still has some stickers on it that I am assuming they put on themselves. The vinyl is clean, no popping and sounds great.

“Uh! All Night” was the last track on the album and might be the most vulgar song that Paul has done up to this point. When you listen to the song you will quickly know what the “Uh!” means. It was written by Paul Stanley, Desmond Child and the Plastmatic’s own Jean Beauvoir who also plays bass on this one. I think that made 3 non-Gene bass playing songs on that album, but who’s counting.

I think Paul took Gene’s playbook and tried to come up with the most absurd lyrics you can possibly imagine for a sexually driven song and he succeeded. You know what, who the hell cares. It is a fun and stupid song and I sadly love every minute of it. I hope the #MeToo movement can forgive me for this one. When I was a teenager, I almost felt guilty for liking this song and as an adult I do feel guilty, but I like it nonetheless. So sue me!! Sometimes a fun, brainless song is all you need to put a smile on your face.

Musically, this song is pure 80’s glam metal. It is hook-driven, high energy, almost anthem like in its delivery. Classic guitar solo by Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr banging on the drums. Great backing vocals with help from Jean and simply catchy as hell overall. When you work all day, sometimes you need to let loose at night and even have a good “Uh!”.

And there you have it. The newest edition to my Kiss Collection, the 12″ Promotional Single of Kiss’ “Uh! All Night”. Not their best moment, but still a fun track and an enjoyable listen. I like finding these promotional pieces as I love the thought that this might have been played over the radio at some small radio station somewhere in the U.S. For me, that is cool. I am real happy to have this in the collection. I don’t know if I’ll ever pull it out and play it again, but I did for this review and it sounded great. I can’t wait to get out there and dig for more great Kiss stuff I don’t have. Since I have at least one copy of every official release in the collection, this is the stuff I’m looking for now.
