Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies: 50th Anniversary 2CD

Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies: 50th Anniversary 

Billion Dollar Babies is the sixth studio album from Alice Cooper, originally released on February 23, 1973, and is the album that Alice refers to as his favorite.  Upon its release, it reached #1 in the US and UK, and is certified platinum. We are releasing the album as a 3-LP and 2-CD Deluxe Edition with an oral history of the making of the album, as told to Jaan Uhelszki by each of the band members who played on the album. This is the record that features hit No More Mr Nice Guy and also sees the band including their “mini-movie” songs like Raped and Freezin’, Elected, Billion Dollar Babies and I Love The Dead. A shock rock/gore classic, our deluxe 3-LP edition features a snake-skin textured cover, a revival of the $1 Billion dollar bill that was included in the original release, and the oral history liner notes.
