On their sixth album Billion Dollar Babies, Alice Cooper had really learned to bottle the lightning that made them brilliant; a heady mix of glam, hard rock, and devilish ditties. Now, a whole five decades later, we're being treated to a fully remastered triple-disc reissue of this rock essential. Coming complete with outtakes, single mixes, and a live show, this new edition of Alice Cooper's platinum-certified classic has been restored to its former glory with a gatefold cover featuring the textured-snakeskin design of the original pressing, and every copy comes with a billion dollar note tucked inside, which makes it seem like pretty good value for money, really. - Flying Out

Hello Hooray, a new version of Billion Dollar Babies is on the way as Alice Cooper’s delightfully subversive sixth album returns in all its snakeskin glory for an extended 50th-anniversary celebration.

After hitting #1 on the album charts in America and the U.K. in 1973, the record remains a highwater mark for the original lineup, featuring hits like No More Mr. Nice Guy and Elected.

An instant smash when it was released in March 1973, Billion Dollar Babies delivered a theatrical mix of hard rock and glam laced with macabre lyrics that explored wealth, decadence, and fame’s darker side. Newly remastered, the platinum-certified album sounds better than ever. The set also features outtakes (Coal Black Model T), single mixes (Mary Ann), and Slick Black Limousine, which originally came out on flexi-disc within an issue of the British rock paper New Musical Express.

The gatefold cover faithfully replicates the original’s textured snakeskin wallet design and comes complete with a $1 billion dollar bill tucked inside.
