Eddie Kramer had already worked on records by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Small Faces and Traffic in London before he relocated to America in 1968, Five years later, while working as Director of Engineering at Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios, the English producer would help introduce the world to another artist who would change the face of rock music: Kiss.
"I used to see Gene [Simmons] and Paul [Stanley] at Electric Lady Studios, walking down the corridor with their manager [Ron Johnsen]," Kramer tells YouTube personality Rick Beato in a new interview, recalling that, at the time, the pair were doing, "Beatles kind of stuff" with their band Wicked Lester, but that the record they had made together had been been shelved, because "apparently it wasn't good record."
