I have always wanted a LICK IT UP poster, stumbling upon one with the German logo, only makes it sweeter. For more nerd-ly insight into why I love this album cover, please see my notes below…-Much like the first album (KISS), the design is simple. Four individuals, no backdrop, no distraction.-The LICK IT UP cover almost seems like a slight (Non-Makeup) tip of the hat to the bands 1st album cover. The 1974 self titled release, showed the four members, in makeup with a black background. The LICK IT UP cover, shows the four members, NO makeup, with a white background. Almost a ’re-birth’ if you think about it…-I love the fact, Vinnie is wearing pink, when all the other members are wearing black. Visually…that’s classic.-I love the fact, Paul is showcasing his wrist watch. Something you would had never seen in the makeup days. The watch tells us, Paul is human. These are not the masked superheroes of KISS, this is plain and simple, four guys in a rock band.-Lastly, I always enjoyed the remnants of the past that are present in the photo. Vinnie’s ‘Ankh’ necklace, and Gene’s trademark tongue. -- source link
