Alice Cooper – Welcome To My Nightmare
1-LP on clear vinyl, Limited edition of 11,500 copies, $21.98
Alice Cooper perfected shock rock with his 1975 concept album WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE. The stage show is justifiably legendary, replete with boa constrictors, guillotines, and other Grand Guignol theatrics. This 1975 Atlantic Records collection is its aural equivalent - a loosely conceptual set exploring a child's dark dreams. With guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter supplying the firepower, this NIGHTMARE features plenty of hard rock (“Cold Ethyl,” “The Black Widow”).
