Alice Cooper - The Studio Albums 1975-1978 (Ltd 5Cd Boxset)

Facts Alice Cooper’s 1975 platinum-certified solo debut, Welcome to My Nightmare, was the first of eight studio albums and the beginning of a new chapter in a legendary career that has haunted music for half a century.
Rhino covers the early years in a new set featuring Cooper’s first four solo albums with a selection of rarities.

After the original Alice Cooper band redefined rock with global anthems like “School’s Out" and “I’m Eighteen," Cooper went solo in 1975 with Welcome to My Nightmare.
Produced by Bob Ezrin, the concept album exploring a child’s nightmares was certified platinum, peaking at #5 on the Billboard 200. It was followed by a TV special, a groundbreaking theatrical world tour, and a concert film.
Its concept continued a year later on the gold-certified Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, which introduced his biggest-selling single, “I Never Cry."
Cooper shifted gears in 1977 on the platinum-certified Lace and Whiskey, adopting the persona of the bumbling, hard-drinking private investigator Maurice Escargot.
It featured the Top 10 ballad “You And Me." His fourth album in four years, 1978’s From the Inside is a concept album co-written with Bernie Taupin that draws directly from Cooper’s recent experience in an asylum.
Produced by David Foster, the album includes the hit single, “How You Gonna See Me Now," which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
With a career spanning nearly six decades, Cooper has sold more than 50 million albums, headlined numerous sold-out tours, and fundamentally influenced the trajectory of hard rock and heavy metal.
A cultural icon and 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Cooper continues to evolve as a creative force.
