Hello Hooray, a new version of BILLION DOLLAR BABIES, is on the way as Alice Coopers delightfully subversive sixth album returns in all its snakeskin glory for an extended 50th-anniversary celebration. After hitting #1 on the album charts in America and the U.K. in 1973, the record remains a highwater mark for the original lineup, featuring hits like No More Mr. Nice Guy and Elected.

The gatefold cover faithfully replicates the originals textured snakeskin wallet design and comes complete with a $1 billion dollar bill tucked inside.

An instant smash when it was released in March 1973, BILLION DOLLAR BABIES delivered a theatrical mix of hard rock and glam laced with macabre lyrics that explored wealth, decadence, and fames darker side. Newly remastered, the platinum-certified album sounds better than ever. The set also features outtakes (Coal Black Model T), single mixes (Mary Ann), and Slick Black Limousine, which originally came out on flexi-disc within an issue of the British rock paper New Musical Express.

The TRILLION DOLLAR DELUXE EDITION also features a live show recorded in Texas in April of 1973, during the Billion Dollar Babies tour. The powerful performance includes live versions of many of the albums tracks, highlights including Elected and Hello Hooray, along with several of the bands earlier hits, including Im Eighteen and Schools Out.

This 3xLP version comes with an oral history of the album and the bonus tracks by the surviving band members Alice Cooper, Dennis Dunaway, Michael Bruce, and Neal Smith and Bob Ezrin, who produced the album. (Sadly, guitarist Glen Buxton died in 1997)

In the notes, Cooper recalls writing I Love The Dead and Sick Things. He says, We were writing those songs looking at each other, and every time wed write a line Id say, Oh, this is gonna kill them. Oh, theyre gonna hate us on this one. But at the same time, it was almost like an Edgar Allan Poe short story when you listen to I Love The Dead. I tried to write that the way Vincent Price would sing it.

…OUT 8 MARCH 2024!
