Alice Cooper - The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper [1999] (4 x CD's)



ALICE COOPER

Alice Cooper - The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper [1999] (4 x CD's)

Ol' black eyes is back with a 4-CD, 88-track collection that's just to die for! Early, pre-Alice Cooper band singles by the Spiders and the Nazz lead right into tracks drawn from 21 albums released between 1969 and 1984, including such classics as single versions of "School's Out;" "Elected;" "You and Me", and "Only Women Bleed;" "I'm Eighteen;" "Muscle of Love;" "No More Mr. Nice Guy;" "I Never Cry;" "Poison;" "Hello Hooray;" "Billion Dollar Babies," and more. Also here are the Coop's various soundtrack recordings, non-LP B-sides, live versions, unreleased album outtakes and demos. Killer!

This box set is such a gift. Where would rock 'n' roll be today without Alice? Probably no more. Anyone who has any affection for rock music would do themselves a tremendous favor by aquiring it. Suffice to say this; anyone who has any doubts of Alice's talent, depth, range, or gifts in musical (not to mention theatrical!) ventures, or of his ability to do it for 30+ years, should listen to "I Never Cry" followed by "Freedom". Everything in between is also some of the best rock music ever produced. Plus, Alice has to be the nicest guy to strike fear into the hearts of parents in history. Truly an American legend, there will never be another one like him. I'll never forget the 'Coop! A very impressive collection of Alice Cooper's music.   (Amazon)

  1. Yow! Thank you for another surprise collection, Butter! Just this afternoon, I gave a friend a home-made disk of Alice's singles, clearly now paltry and skimpy at only some two-dozen tracks total. I'm happy to say you've put me to shame, and my friend's going to get a big fat sequel now!

    1. Hi Aging Child
      Isn't it nice to get a surprise every now and then.
      I am sure this will compliment you singles collection. You should post your singles collection.

      More surprises coming your way over the next few weeks. (sorry if that sounds like a horoscope message)

      Cheers.

    2. I think it'll be a nice complement, too Butter. I've lately been tossing together best-ofs / singles collections by various artists, usually cherry-picked from recent posts around the net of full catalogs by the artists, so the contents are already out there. I started doing that because pretty much every official-market best-of always seems to be missing several key releases (I've grumbled about that before), so I felt a need to fill those annoying gaps. But the collections are basically a rehash / polishing-up of something easily found... so I'd feel like a bit of a copycat, a second-rate cook serving up rewarmed leftovers, if I actually posted them myself. And they're certainly nothing like what you've been merrily putting together, and other hard-to-find good stuff (such as this Alice Cooper collection), that you've been distributing around the world. I've been passing my own along to this friend because she's not the websurfer yours truly is, and wouldn't find them on her own. Plus she's a vocalist and musician, and just maybe we can find something on those home-mades to duet on. Keep 'em coming, Butter!

  2. Hate to ask, but would it be possible for you to re-up this one, please? The pixeldrain link's gone 404. Many thanks!
