Alice has announced a 50th anniversary deluxe edition of his seminal 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies. The expanded set arrives March 8th digitally and in 3-LP and 2-CD physical formats.
The “Trillion Dollar” edition, as Cooper is calling it, includes a remastered version of the original studio album and a wealth of era-specific rarities: two studio outtakes, four single mixes, and a concert recording from a Texas date in 1973. The vinyl edition will also replicate the original LP’s iconic snakeskin wallet sleeve design (and houses the original billion dollar bill insert of the band).
The liner notes for both the LP and CD editions features an oral history of the album, with Cooper himself reflecting on the songwriting process for what would become some of the biggest hits of his career (i.e. “Elected” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy”).
“We were writing those songs looking at each other, and every time we’d write a line I’d say, ‘Oh, this is gonna kill them. Oh, they’re gonna hate us on this one,’” said Cooper in the liner notes (as revealed in a press release). “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.”
The album’s consistency and numerous hits rank it as arguably Cooper’s finest artistic achievement and a high mark of his band’s original lineup.
