  Wicked Lester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1971 the band changed their name to Wicked Lester, and in the fall of that year they recorded an album for Epic Records, which was never released.
Whereas Wicked Lester's original sound was rooted in varied musical styles (folk and pop, for instance), when Simmons and Stanley decided to recruit new members, they also made the decision to focus on a more aggressive and simple style of rock and roll.
The "new" Wicked Lester began as the duo of Simmons and Stanley, and became a trio with the addition of Peter Criss.

 The KISSFAQ - Stories Behind The Demos - Chapter XI
Like "Love Her All I Can," this song would survive the transition of Wicked Lester into the KISS era and was long part of the band's live set before finally being recorded by the band on the "Dressed To Kill" album in 1975.
Written by the ironically named Tamy Lester Smith in 1971 with the song's copyright being registered in January 1972, this song would be covered by Wicked Lester during their ill-fated album recording sessions.
With Wicked Lester's material, and the sort of writing that Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons were doing around the time, it was obvious to most that this song was not written by the band.

 Wicked Lester - Biography - AOL Music
Although the band Wicked Lester never issued an official recording during their brief tenure together, the group would serve as a stepping stone for both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, both of whom later went on to form one of the '70s biggest hard rock outfits, Kiss.
Simmons and Stanley met in the late '60s through a mutual friend, Steve Coronel, but it wasn't until Wicked Lester was formed in the early '70s that they reached any degree of success.
The unreleased Wicked Lester album (and its artwork) was bought by Kiss' label, Casablanca, in 1977 so that Columbia wouldn't cash in on Kiss' success by releasing the aborted record (which also included pictures of Simmons and Stanley without makeup), but bootleg copies of the album eventually began making the rounds in fan circles.

 Proton Radio -- View topic - THz002 - Wicked Lester vs Marlin "In The Pocket" c
Canadian producers Wicked Lester aka Brian Carson and Vinyl Ritchie are emerging as one of the top talents in North America’s burgeoning electronic music scene.
Their debut album “Wicked” released in 2004 on Nettwerk Records was one of the most heralded electronic albums to come out that year.
Their debut release on twentyHz sees Wicked Lester collaborate with The Dirt Mitts’ vocalist, Natasha Thirsk to remix Marlin’s “Eye Level.” The result is a hybrid of rock guitars and a sultry low slung rolling electro break that builds and builds.

Wicked Lester became KISS, after side-tracking the frankly rubbish names 'Albatross' and 'F***'.

Ron had an old Telly (Fender Telecaster), he’d get a couple pretty good sized amps then he’d cut holes in the speakers, and get the same type of sound that Jimi had.
He never made it, except as part of Wicked Lester, which also had Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, and was in Cactus for a while.
He was in my band, we were called THURSDAY'S CHILDREN.
