Following the artistic experimentation on “Destroyer” the band returned to their roots for “Rock And Roll Over”. The album marked a 180 degree turn, a return to the recording ethos of 1973-5 as the band reverted to their quest for studio rawness that mimicked their live presentation. The album was recorded at the Star Theatre, and in order to get the proper drum sound, Peter Criss recorded the drum tracks in a bathroom, communicating via video-link with the rest of the band. His vocals are featured on the tracks "Baby Driver" and "Hard Luck Woman". Paul Stanley, who originally wanted the latter song to be sung by Rod Stewart, gave it to Criss, after Gene Simmons insisted Criss sing the song instead. Although the single did not equal the success of "Beth", it did become another Top 20 single for the group. "Calling Dr. Love" would go on to become a concert staple, being played on just about every tour since the album's release. The cover artwork was created by artist Michael Doret who worked with Kiss again on their 2009 album Sonic Boom. This is also when KISS began the pattern of including premiums as inserts inside their first pressing albums. The inserts for Rock And Roll Over included: A custom artwork inner sleeve A merchandise order form A segmented sticker sheet of the cover art I've included scans of everything from the first pressing.
