Muscle Of Love

The definitive version of Alice Cooper's 7th and final full length offering, "Muscle Of Love" encompasses 11 previously unreleased tracks, spanning recently unearthed early versions and alternate mixes of staple songs. The CD and BluRay set features the original quadraphonic mixes making their debut on BluRay.

Additionally, the liner notes feature an in depth and immersive track by track account of the story behind the album, as told to renowned music journalist Jaan Uhelszki. She spoke extensively to Cooper, guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, drummer Neal Smith, and additional guitarist Mick Mashbir to compile the most comprehensive discourse on this record ever published thus far.

"Muscle Of Love" saw the band double down on their rock‘n’roll roots, delivering an uncompromising body of work buoyed by impeccable playing, massive hooks, and good old fashioned Detroit grit. Produced by Jack Richardson and Jack Douglas, it cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and scored a gold certification from the R.I.A.A. This uncompromising body of work includes the famed title track, “Muscle of Love”, as well as “Teenage Lament 74”, “Big Apple Dreamin’ (Hippo),” and “Hard Hearted Alice”. It would also be the final album recorded by the original band, and they definitely went out with a bang, to say the least.
