On 26. December 1973, Kiss officially became the first act signed to former teen pop singer and Buddah Records executive Neil Bogart’s new label, Emerald City Records, which was shortly afterward renamed Casablanca Records.
Neil Bogart signs up Kiss officially, and the band photos with staff. Bogart has Paul changing his “star” make-up to the “bandit” make-up because he wants all four members of the band to have symmetric faces. Peter wears a black rhinestone shirt (which is made by his mother) that says “Peter Criss.”
