Love Gun is the sixth studio album by American hard rock band Kiss, released on June 17, 1977, by Casablanca Records. Casablanca and FilmWorks shipped one million copies of the album on this date. It was certified platinum and became the band's first top 5 album on the Billboard 200. The album was remastered in 1997 and again in 2014. Love Gun is the first Kiss studio album to feature a lead vocal performance from Ace Frehley, thus making it the first to feature lead vocal performances from all four band members.
