==Solo career==
Stanley released his first solo album ''[[Paul Stanley (album)|Paul Stanley]]'' as part of the four simultaneously released Kiss solo albums, but he has rarely recorded or performed outside of Kiss. He wrote and recorded material for another album in 1987-88, but it was shelved in favor of the Kiss compilation ''[[Smashes, Thrashes & Hits]]''. While never officially released, songs such as "Don't Let Go" and "When Two Hearts Collide" have circulated as [[bootleg recording]]s. One song from the project, "Time Traveler", was released as part of Kiss's 2001 [[The Box Set (Kiss)|box set]].<ref>{{cite web |title=KISS - KISS: The Box Set |url=https://www.discogs.com/master/236636-KISS-KISS-The-Box-Set |website=Discogs |access-date=September 15, 2022}}</ref>
