White vinyl with poster and 2 stickers. Limited 150 numbered copies

This album was recorded during two Texas performances, Memorial Auditorium in Dallas on April 28th 1973 and Sam Houston Coliseum on the 29th,, quite early on the Billion Dollar Babies tour and its a strong performance where the band performs most of the cuts from the new album. Overall, this is the best you will get from The Alice Cooper Band. Tight, dark, cohesive. Billion Dollar Babies (the title was taken from the fact that the five guys were so stunned by their newfound success) rocks all over the place and gives you the heebie jeebies on occasion. The stage show was all misogynistic B-horror-movie filth, note that one of the show’s many climaxes involves a giant tooth brush bringing a molar to orgasm. True, this is preceded by a deranged dentist mega drilling Cooper, the intervening fluoride flourish censored, but really, it was all just good, clean rock cabaret. Other things would include some dismembered mannequins (“I Love the Dead”), babies on a sword (“Dead Babies”), a possibly intoxicated boa constrictor (“Sick Things”), the now infamous guillotine, and a sarcophagus (hello, Iron Maiden). “That’s why Salvador Dali loved us,” Alice Cooper said who admits singing was secondary to the stage show. Nevertheless, “Elected”/”I’m Eighteen” snarls, “No More Mr. Nice Guy” grinds three guitars, and “Under My Wheels” mows down Richard Nixon. I wish they’d would have been able to include the two last tracks too; Shools out and Under My Wheels on this abum too but what we get is more than worthwhile as a 1973 live document. Muscle Of Love Would come next but that was the end of The Alice Cooper Band. Dig this. It’s amazing!
