Alice Cooper . Wow ! I was 14 and I loved this album. Killer , Billion Dollar Babies and even Muscle of Love all great albums. Took my daughter to see him 15 years ago. Bloody fantastic Thanks for your podcast

Hi dear Sir thank you for this. I still need to get it. Maybe one day love the Coop... he is legend and he remains on my bucket list of shows to see

Great job Phil Alice became one of my all time favorites in 71 when I first heard I'm eighteen. Keep up the good work

hello phjl, nice box, little deception for "school's out" exit gimmick cover (school desk and women underwear i've uk edition complete) but all others perfect well done , see you next!

Those first 6 LPs are absolutely phenomenal!! Saw them in 72 with the Chambers and BOC!! Absolutely excellent show!! Buy this box!! Great job!! Thank you for your hard work

No worries. Thanks. I already have most of these. Just thought I’d they were remasters I would buy em up I’m 1 shot. 👍👍

Another hugely enjoyable video, Phil. You're right, School's Out was everywhere in '72. It was like an unofficial national anthem for kids. I started buying singles in early '73 and one of the first I got was No More Mr Nice Guy. Such a fantastic record. Still one of my favourite singles of all-time.

Given this set was first released in 2015, I think we can forget a later set. Still, all the classics are here. They kind of went halfway with the Japanese Mini LP designs here, keeping gatefolds and inner sleeve (sort of) but not really going the whole hog. Around the time this first arrived there was a series of Japanese Mini LP's released for run Pretties for You through Muscle of Love. Those had a new remaster, and the sleeves are gorgeous exactly mirroring the original releases, which is awesome for the likes of MOL. On Welcome to My Nightmare -the original release in the UK wasn't on Atlantic, it was on Anchor Records which was a black label with a sailors image on it. The only Alice album in this set that I just can't fall in love with is Lace and Whiskey. I've always been at war with it. Following on from Welcome and Goes to Hell, it's always been a huge disappointment, and the new persona Alice had taken on - a gumshoe - didn't work or last very long. There are a couple good songs there, such as Road Rats, but the album id a bit of a stinker, imo. One final thing - these types of reviews would be priceless is they included the DR numbers for the discs. I know that would be a lot more work and effort, but it's the first thing I try to find out when a release arrives. I'm trying to avoid anything that's too crushed. Still, these releases are simply classics from start to finish, what a run Alice has had..

Great LP's have them all

I’m with you on “ Nightmare” Phil. Saw the live show version at Liverpool Empire in September 1975. Awesome and unforgettable spectacle with a great band behind him. 3,000 scousers going nuts!!

Very interesting review Phil. Let’s hope this one gets the repress treatment. Surely a box set that would always sell. The lack of a booklet is a shame, but the album packaging is rather nice.

John Lydon was a massive Alice Cooper fan.

Great video, Phil. A great box set. Alice Cooper is a wonderful artist as far as I’m concerned.

Happy Aloha Friday to you Phil🤙🏽Another wonderful box set review and great story about what was going on in your life in 1972.I met Alice Cooper about twenty years ago at a Celebrity Golf Tournament here on Maui😎

Nice, passionate review of this box full of magnificent albums. I would stress the importance of the original band, though, plus Ezrin as a producer. You say how innovative and brave Alice was. Yes, but no less were his brilliant bandmates blasting a masterpiece after masterpiece full of musical adventures

Another "entertaining" review of one of the great artists works. I have been a fan since '72. I saw him in'73-billion $ babies tour, also in '75-"nightmare tour and in '07 when he opened for "Heaven and Hell". Amazingly he still looked and sounded the same (make-up does wonders??) . Like another great/important musician, David Bowie, they both did some excellent albums, and some "not-so-excellent" ones, but they are all relevant in their own unique way. It is great to see the box set, but I do have the original vinyl copies up to "goes to hell". I should give the more recent stuff a listen and catch up , I'm sure that there is some good stuff that I have not heard. As always, take care and "keep on spinning" mate !! Cheers

Alice Cooper an American treasure.

I got this after seeing a video by a guy from Canada named Tim Durling. He has a channel called Tim's Vinyl Confessions. Might have trouble with another box since Alice has been on a couple of different labels(like MCA and Epic). However, there is a 3 disc set of his Epic albums. Perhaps Cherry Red can do a MCA/Epic set

Yep..got all the early ones till Muscle of Love. The worst one in my book. Got a couple of the others but the early ones are the best.

No, I hadn't entered the Alice Cooper universe!, apart from those great early singles. I'll investigate further...

Compared to the original CDs how do the CDs in the box set have an upgraded sound?

Curios. Are they remastered?
