On the official You Tube Alice Cooper page there is an upload of the song :
Be my lover - Miami Florida 1972.

Maybe the long expected special editions of KILLER and SCHOOL'S OUT finally will see the light. Let's hope.

Well, would ya look at that. Here's the link to the "BML" video. This sounds great. I wonder what the source was? The separation between guitars is excellent. You can tune in directly to either guy, and really hear what they were doing. I'm looking forward to what the album sounds like. Too bad it's not in surround, but that's quite understandable. Also, this appears to be a Rhino release. Warner is still involved, but their logo is gone from the front cover.

Very nice set.
Not the big box I hoped for but you can never satisfy the hardcorefan.
Glad it finally got a release.
Now also bring on the KILLER 2cd and hopefully later a LOVE it to DEATH and MUSCLE of LOVE version.

Si, do you think it's a good idea to change the title of this thread to something directly related to the release? Something like "School's Out (Expanded And Remastered Edition) 2CD set?" Just a thought. I'm seriously looking forward to ordering the US version through your site.

Very excited for this release.

Yes, to have all 3 would be awesome. I think Killer could be the next one most likely to be released, if/when another ACG album is reissued.

KILLER is coming, too. From the Alice website:

KILLER (DELUXE EDITION) introduces a newly remastered version of the original release, which peaked at #21 on the Billboard albums chart. Along with the singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover,” the record also includes “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,” “Desperado,” and the prog-rock-inspired epic “Halo Of Flies.” The bonus material features alternate takes for “You Drive Me Nervous,” “Under My Wheels,” and “Dead Babies.”

The collection also gives fans an unreleased live recording of the band’s performance at Mar Y Sol Pop Festival in Puerto Rico on April 2, 1972. Recorded a few months before the band returned to the studio to make School’s Out, the show previews “Public Animal #9” from the upcoming album. The band played most of Killer during the concert, including “You Drive Me Nervous,” “Under My Wheels,” and “Halo Of Flies.” They also tapped the group’s 1971 album, Love It to Death, for live versions of “Is It My Body?,” “Long Way To Go,” and the smash hit “I’m Eighteen.”

@Si I can't remember if I asked this, but do you have a Canadian Amazon affiliate link?

I looked at my bootleg of the 1972 May 26th, Tampa Florida concert that I'm pretty sure many of you ST have it as well. Mine is very poor audio quality so would enjoy a clean version. But I notice on mine includes the last song "Under My Wheels" that they sing a bit of "Money" it's about 7 minutes long. I believe The Doors covered "Money" as well. Either way I'll definitely get this along w/ "Killer". Between these 2 releases along w/ Alice's 2 other releases, Alice on NIta's new album and Vampires DVD along w/ Michael Allen's book it's going to be an expensive summer.

Yes, links now up on the news page for UK and US but honestly I would wait to pre-order (if you are going to) until the page is complete, just in case they change the URL/item number.

Good Records seems to be offering versions of the vinyl versions that include a numbered 12"x12" print & a button that are limited to only 150.

Not sure if this is something they're adding in or something offical, but still cool if that's your thing.

Thanks for the links, Si. I have ordered both using your site. Stupid question - will it help if I use Amazon through your page for anything?

Yes, you can order anything via STUK.
You can either just click any affiliate link to go to Amazon and then search there for what you want, OR you can use the custom search box on the front page (top left). Just type in what you are looking for, select either US or UK, and hit go. Anything you then order in that "session" credits this site.
