Dynasty (made in West Germany)

~ Release by KISS (see all versions of this release, 36 available)

Annotation

Unbeknownst to fans at the time, session drummer Anton Fig played on all but one of Dynasty's tracks.
Peter Criss received sole official credit at the time, although the 1997 remaster of this album sets the record straight (see: AllCDCovers.com: Kiss - Dynasty: Remastered (1997) Retail CD).

Therefore, Fig is given proper album drumming credit here, while Criss is credited only on Dirty Livin'.
