On 12. November, 1976, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss and his wife Lydia attend an Arista Records party celebrating the release of Lou Reed’s new album, “Rock and Roll Heart,” at Feather’s Ballroom in New York City, following Reed’s concert at the Palladium earlier that evening. The album marks Reed’s debut for Arista Records after leaving RCA.

Kiss are in New York rehearsing for their upcoming “Rock and Roll Over” tour, having spent the week at Studio B at Studio Instrument Rentals (SIR), where rehearsals take place from November 7–13. The band subsequently moves to Camp Curtis Guild Armory in Reading, Massachusetts, for full production rehearsals beginning November 14, ahead of the tour’s opening concert in Savannah, Georgia, on November 24.

The party attracts an eclectic gathering of musicians, journalists and celebrities, including Andy Warhol, Diana Ross, Clive Davis, Danny Fields, Lisa Robinson, Michael Klenfner and concert promoter Ron Delsener. Rock journalists Robert Duncan and Lester Bangs are also among the guests.
