AND I KNOW WHAT'S UP
IN THIS LIFE
IT AIN'T A MYSTERY
IT'S A FANTASY
IT'S A LONG , LONG RIDE
AND IT HURTS LIKE HELL
Cat #1
is the fourth
solo
studio album
released by
former Kiss
drummer
and first
under the
band name
Criss.
Criss
re-recorded
the Kiss song
"Beth"
for the album.
Unlike the
orchestrated original version,
the new recording
was an acoustic version.
The album also features
former-Kiss bandmate
Ace Frehley
playing guitar
on three tracks
("Bad Attitude", "Walk The Line" & "Blue Moon Over Brooklyn").
Background
In 1993,
Criss released a
special limited edition
preview EP
compact disc
entitled
Criss
for the forthcoming album.
Three tracks
were eventually released
on the 1994 CD
while two tracks
were only available
on the limited edition CD.
Release and Legacy
For the cover art,
it was Criss' idea
to paint half of his face
in his original
Kiss makeup,
while leaving
the other half plain.
The idea was to link
past and present.
A CD single
was released in Europe
in 1998
which included
three tracks
from the album,
including
"Beth".
A promotional video
was produced for
"Show Me",
which was aired on MTV.
The album
did not chart
in any territory.
The album was
re-released
on
colored vinyl in 2019
and included the
two tracks
from the
limited edition CD.
