Checkin' Out the Ghosts (愛のゴースト, Ghost of Love) is the twelfth studio album by American singer Kim Carnes, released exclusively in Japan on March 21, 1991, via Zebrazone.[2] Carnes co-produced the album with Joey Carbone.
Two years after the album was released, Carnes re-recorded the track "Gypsy Honeymoon" for her 1993 compilation album, Gypsy Honeymoon: The Best of Kim Carnes.[3] Checkin' Out the Ghosts includes a re-recording of "Hangin' On by a Thread (A Sad Affair of the Heart)", which first appeared on Carnes' album Café Racers (1983). "Independent Girl" was released as the album's only single in 1991.
