This independent single is not a proper release, as such, it was a private pressing of aproximately 25 copies which was pressed for distribution to record lables in hopes of getting interest in the band. It is however, some of the earliest recorded Eric Carr, who plays harmonica, tamborine and sings. Track 1 was included on a KISS tribute Album, "KAOL2: Creatures Of The Net", released in early 1998. Track 2 was released on the reissue of "KAOL Music From The Folder '99" later that same year. Both songs have since been withdrawn from KAOL releases.


THE CELLARMEN: THEN I MADE A WISH
No Label Independent Release (USA, c. 1968)

   A1. Then I Made A Wish
   B1. I Found You

This independent single is not a proper release, as such, it was a private pressing of aproximately 15 copies which was pressed for songwriter's to publish their material.


CRYSTAL COLLINS: NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY
No Label Independent Release (USA, c. 1969)

   A1. No Matter How You Try
   B1. When You Grow Tired

Crystal Collins was a friend of members of the Cellarmen who sang vocals on two demo recordings with the band providing the backing music. As with the case with the previously mentioned singles, this will not found in record stores!

   B2. Stop The Music (4:53) - Diamond
   B3. Feel Like Dancing (3:55) - Diamond/Gregory
   B4. Big West (4:50) - Diamond

Back in 1996/7 if one were to look at A&C Memorobilia's site (that was Eric's family's website) one would be able to view a Mother Nature / Father Time show poster with the band billed as "Bionic Boogie" and listing their 'hits' "Risky Changes" and "Cream". Well the songs were by Bionic Boogie, but the recordings have nothing whatsoever to do with Eric Carr or MN/FT, except in the fact that they appeared billed as that band to perform those disco hits. "Risky Changes(Edit)/Big West" was also available as a 7" and 12" single. "Cream (Always Rises To The Top)/Chains" was a later 12" single as was "Hot Butterfly". One last Bionic Boogie single was "Tiger, Tiger"... Musicians on the recordings include Gregg Diamond, Lance Quinn, Steve Love, Jim Gregory, Alan Schwartzberg...

Promotional 12" Center Ring

   A1. Disco Symphony (10:05) - Siano
   B1. Baby Without Your Love (7:03) - Siano

The sole 12" Single off the "Lightning" album. Produced by Lewis Merenstein and Ralph Moss. Assistant producer Howard Merritt. Recorded at the Sound Place, NY. This single has, so far, only been seen as a promotional release. Because of the track length it is doubtful that this was released in 7" format.

   B2. I Love The Way You Love Me (5:25) - Siano/Henderson/Dozier
   B3. One Step At A Time (6:28) - Henderson/Dozier

Produced by Lewis Merenstein and Ralph Moss. Assistant producer Howard Merritt. Recorded at the Sound Place, NY. Eric is creditted as Paul Caravello on drums and backing vocals. This record is extremely rare and as a result is very hard to find. "Bionic Boogie" actually an alternative touring name for Mother Nature Father Time and featured some of the same people Eric had been working with for most of the 1970's, yet "Bionic Boogie" is mentioned nowhere on the packaging of this disco album. There are two versions of the packaging: the spine on one is sliver/grey with black lettering; and on the other it is beige, a wrap around of the cover graphic. There are also two pressings, one by Casablanca and one by PolyGram, both at the same time. Additionally, there were regular release versions of the album, copies *NOT* stamped "promo" on the cover or album, but these are far more rare than the promotional version judging by the number that have turned up. There are also copies which list the wrong release code (NBLP7173, which was actually Don McClean)....

This was Eric Carr's first studio album with KISS and he drums on all tracks except "I", on which Allan Schwartzberg plays. He also sings backing-vocals.

A Japanese CD only compilation. Very rare. Released in anticipation of the Japan Tour 1988. Only 100,000 copies of this compilation were made. Early copies included a special sew-on patch of the Chikara symbol. Chikara picture discs are NOT official, and are bootleg. Please Note: There are bootleg copies of this CD, you can tell the difference by slight variations in the quality of the cover print - mainly in the details such as clarity of the eyes and patches on jackets. It it isn't clear, it's probably fake.

Track 12 was an severely altered version of "Heaven" that had been recorded during the Elder sessions in 1981. Eric had tried in vain to locate this recording for years. Ace's guitars were removed and replaced by Bruce and the piece was shortened to primarily display the drum solo section. On track 5 Eric had provided vocal harmonies.

While this may not be an "official" product, it is too good, too poignant to pass up including here. Created by Tony Mal (who seems to be on Hell of a dedicated guy!) for broadcast on WCWP 88.1 FM in 1992, the package features a 1989 interview plus, for the first time ever, the two Cellermen tracks! Coverage is provided for all the songs Eric was involved with, and his history. It really is a marvelous celebration of his life! The fantastic packaging features the famed Eric Carr solo style painting.

PROPHECY is dedicated to, and features Eric Carr, former drummer for rock supergroup KISS. Eric is featured at the opening of PROPHECY, with a rare radio ID that he recorded shortly before his passing. Also included on PROPHECY, is Eric's original recording of his pre-KISS song, "Your Turn to Cry". This remastered recording is a great way to remember Eric for his talent, as well as his personality!! Ralph E Carle has also included a cover version of the song, to pay tribute to the late drummer. Joining Ralph for this on is NJ/NY singer/songwriter Jeff Gaynor. Jeff provides a fresh, updated sound to the Eric Carr classic!!!" Visit Ralph's Website
