Ace Frehley - The Demos Collection (2026)

In 1984, Frehley began his post-KISS solo career by assembling a band that included, among others, drummer Anton Fig (who had performed on Frehley's 1978 solo album and on two KISS albums). Bassist John Regan (who had worked with Peter Frampton), whom Frehley met in 1980, was also an original member of the band as was vocalist/guitarist Richie Scarlet and keyboardist Arthur Stead. The group, whose name alternated between 'Ace Frehley' and ‘Frehley's Comet’, recorded a series of demos throughout 1983 and 1985, most of which ended up, albeit in very different forms, on one or other of the subsequent Frehley’s Comet albums, released in 1987 and 1988. The band performed their first ever live show at S.I.R. Studios in New York City on November 30, 1984, and played a handful of shows in the Northeast United States in March 1985. Frehley also recorded some further demos in 1995, all of which are now included on this first ever collection of all Ace’s demos, released here for the first time.
