Classic Rock reports:
Casablanca Records, the label whose roster included KISS, ANGEL, PARLIAMENT, DONNA SUMMER and THE VILLAGE PEOPLE, is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Come inside to hear what PAUL STANLEY has to say about the legendary company…
Casablanca was formed in 1973 by Neil Bogart, but didn’t release it's first full-length album until KISS' debut on February 18th, 1974.
Speaking exclusively to Classic Rock, rhythm guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley reflected on the KISS' time as part of the Casablanca roster.
Classic Rock: It’s Casablanca’s 35th birthday this year. Do you mourn the demise of the iconic record company?
Paul Stanley: “I mourn the demise of iconic record companies because they nurtured bands and nurtured artists. When record companies were run by people who loved music they stood behind the acts. It wasn’t unusual for a record company to expect two or three albums to come out before artist would break. That was the dedication they had, because they loved the music. The days of that are over and long gone."
