Re: The new expanded KILLER and SCHOOL's OUT

I called my own sanity into question by buying both on vinyl. Happy to say I don't regret it. Excellent packaging and sounding great. I'd agree that the Alma Mater and Elected alternate versions are especially interesting to hear. I still wonder if the Hollywood Bowl bootleg couldn't have been used...

Re: The new expanded KILLER and SCHOOL's OUT

From the track uploaded to YT from the Miami show, the sound quality sounds very good (better than the St. Louis or the Mar Y Sol recordings imo) and the performance sounds really good. The performance from Mar Y Sol sounds pretty flat imo, Miami sounds much more energetic. Got notice my delivery co...

Re: School's Out (Expanded And Remastered Edition) 2CD set

Well I always am interested in previously unreleased ACG material, and I will likely get both Killer and SO expanded editions, but they never seem to be able to thread the needle. Always coming up a bit short. In the case Killer, they give us the previously available Mar Y Sol show and in SO case th...

He's synced some audio with it, so that's a treat

Re: Am I The Only One Who Liked W2MN?

W2MN is a great album and I think why a lot of people give a snub is because it's compared to the first.......Don't!!!! look at it as it's own separate entity. I snub it because I think it's a very terrible album. It's fine that you like it, it's all just personal taste - no right or wrong. What is...

Re: Revival '69

I certainly agree, ain't that amazing? AC(G) Fans have long wondered if any/all of the audio from Mr. Vincent's performance was recorded/survives, then we find out that there's at least a bit of surviving film footage. Plus yes, the very recently revealed BDB Holiday Tour footage. Speaking of wonde...

Re: Diary Of A Mad Housewife (1970)

Back in the 80's I found a copy of this on Beta in a delete bin at a corner store and immediately scooped it up. The party scene was included on my Alice Cooper rarities compilation tape. Would love to see this included any extended AC material but since ACG is not the focus of the movie at all, I d...

Re: The last temptation with bonustracks

This sounds a lot like the arguments I used to have here with that amuk guy. Nice to see other fellow fans having the same issues I did. Maybe the signing away of rights and masters and whatever else, was a smart move for Alice and Shep who knows? But it sure made things crappy for the ardent Alice ...

Re: Love it To Death without Bob

IIMB with My Very Own part would be a dream to hear in studio form or a nice live version at least. Hopefully.. someday... somehow I believe the circulating demos from LITD have the "My Very Own" section included. I've theorized in another thread that it may have been a late decision to cut the 7 m...

Re: The Alice Cooper Show 1977

I never disliked that album, I just didn't think it had much edge. And I knew a few people who were into let's say KISS Alive (I was never a big KISS fan myself) and others that became fans of a band because of a live album. I know of a person or two whose first exposure to Alice was the Alice Coop...
