Alice Cooper - School's Out (Deluxe Edition) - VINYL LP

Deluxe double vinyl LP pressing. The cover of School's Out looks like a wooden school desk and opens to reveal the LP wrapped in a pair of panties. The band stopped including the underwear following a controversy as to whether or not they were flammable. Thankfully, the lacy unmentionables in the new Deluxe Edition are not a fire hazard. School's Out (Deluxe Edition) begins with a newly remastered version of the 1972 original, which peaked at #2 on the albums chart. Essential tracks like InchLuney TuneInch and InchAlma MaterInch are joined by InchGutter Cat vs. The Jets. Inch The latter is an homage to West Side Story, a significant influence on the band. The song incorporates lyrics from InchJet SongInch from the 1957 musical, which led to an unlikely songwriting credit for Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim on an Alice Cooper track. The Deluxe Edition contains rarities like the single versions of InchSchool's OutInch and InchGutter Cat vs. The Jets. Inch Two previously unreleased tracks are also included, an alternate version of InchAlma MaterInch and an early demo for InchElected, Inch a song that would appear in 1973 on the band's first #1 album, Billion Dollar Babies. Alice Cooper's concert in Miami on May 27, 1972, adds even more unreleased music to the collection. The show was recorded a few weeks before the band entered the studio to record School's Out. The live performance features standout versions of InchHalo Of Flies, Inch InchSchool's Out, Inch and InchYeah, Yeah, Yeah, Inch a song that gives Cooper a chance to show off his impressive harmonica skills.
