This value-priced reissue of Alice Cooper at 75 (2023) celebrates the godfather of shock rock with expert commentary, hundreds of images, and an illustrated timeline. Pythons, guillotines, stage blood...with his concoction of vaudeville, horror film tropes, and three-chord rock 'n' roll, Alice Cooper invented a genre. Let veteran rock journalist Gary Graff and Detroit rock writer Gary Graff be your guide to Cooper's extraordinary career through the lens of 75 career accomplishments, events, and collaborations. This exquisite volume features:
- Stunning concert and candid offstage photography
- Images of memorabilia, including gig posters, vinyl record sleeves, ticket stubs, and period ads
