NOTES :
In 2006 The family of late KISS [bad word] Eric Carr was offering copies of Eric's audition tape that he made to land the job of new KISS [bad word] back in 1980. 
This rare CD was copied DIRECTLY FROM THE THE MASTER RECORDINGS. 

neon-orange folder played a [bad word] role in the meteoric career of Eric Carr, born Paul Caravello. It was the folder he used to send off demo tapes and a couple of pictures of himself to KISS's manager, in his successful bid to [bad word] the masked supergroup's new [bad word]  Just as he'd planned, the flashy color of the folder caught the eye of someone in the KISS office. So Eric's application got opened first - and the rest is history.

The Original ERIC CARR audition tape had been misplaced for over 24 years. 
In 2006 it has finally surfaced. Eric Carr is singing on "Shandi" and playing [bad word] on all 4 tracks - the tracks he submitted to KISS in 1980. Eric was hoping, this would help get him a chance to audition in person for the GENE SIMMONS, PAUL STANLEY and ACE FREHLEY, who were looking to replace former [bad word] PETER CRISS.
