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.
