[edit] bought album in 1981

Just in case anybody is interested, I bought this album back in 1981 when it came out, because I was a "no matter what KISS junkie." (I didn't join the KISS Army fan Club, though.) Back then, there were two formats, Cassette, or Vinyl LP. I happen to have both, because I had a stereo with turntable and one of the first ever Sony Walkman cassette machines... I don't have mine anymore, but I still have the cassette and the Vinyl LP. Sure would like the CD, properly remastered... Michael 15:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

It saddens me when Kiss members diss the Elder. It's a great album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.12.144.21 (talk) 00:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Bad page name: title of (Music from) The Elder should not have quotes

This page has a bad name. There should not be quote marks around the words The Elder in the album's title (or in the page name). The album's title is (Music from) The Elder; the never-made movie would have been called The Elder. The title of a movie or an album ought to be shown in italics, not in quotes. Therefore, the redirect is in the wrong direction, and this page should appear at (Music from) The Elder. Ferdinand Cesarano 20:36, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

  • The album itself shows quotes. See [1] and [2].

[edit] Drums on "Odyssey"

This kissfaq website seems to contradict itself a little bit. While Eric Carr admited to being replaced on the song "I" in interviews, he never mentioned anything about being replaced on drums for the track "Odyssey". On the same website that's linked for referrence on the track listing, makes no mention of Schwartzberg playing drums on "Odyssey". [3]

I have no arguement about Carr being replaced on "I". He admited to it in interviews and the drums on that track does not sound like his playing. However, I'm stating that the comment on his being replaced on "Odyssey" be removed since the source sited contradicts itself and there is no other referrence to back the claim up, unless someone else can find it.

  • Sounds fair. My new copy of KISS Album Focus is arriving soon, and I expect it will have the answer to this problem. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 01:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
    • OK - According to the book, Allan played on both songs. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 19:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Track Listing

I relisted the track listing to showcase the version that is currently available. My reasoning is that if someone who's never heard of the album before saw the original listing, he might potientially get confused if he was to find the album in stores with a track listing that differed from the original one. Darwin's Bulldog 04:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, but the article specifically states that the original track order was out of sequence, which I think would eliminate any possible confusion. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 23:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
