"MORE TEXTURES AND BOMBAST THAN ACTUAL HARD ROCK, "BDB" IN RETROSPECT IS A STRANGE COLLECTION OF HIGHLY POLISHED PERFORMANCES."

PIC(S) INFO: Relaeased 50 years ago earlier this year -- Spotlight on the "Billion Dollar Babies" LP, the sixth studio album by American rock band ALICE COOPER, and released in March 1973 under the Warner Bros. label. The album became the best selling ALICE COOPER record at the time of its release, hit number one on the album charts in both the US and the UK, and went on to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

RECORD OVERVIEW: "If first impressions are key, then the look alone of the "Billion Dollar Babies" LP made it an instant classic. A prime artifact from the days when the music business spent lavishly on complicated and expensive album art, the package was designed like a wallet. Outside was a large gold coin with a baby's head encircled by embossed diamonds against a bright-green snakeskin-patterned background. Inside were pop-out trading cards and an oversized billion-dollar bill picturing the band. The inner sleeve has lyrics on one side and the band, dressed in white, looking hilariously perplexed by their surroundings, petting white rabbits among stacks of paper money while Cooper holds an infant whose eyes are ringed by the same black makeup design he wore onstage.

After the long, wearying struggle to succeed followed by endless touring and boundless adulation, Alice Cooper the band was both peaking and coming apart in 1973. Having recently released "Killer" (1971) with its singles "Be My Lover" and "Under My Wheels," and a follow-up, "School's Out" (1972), whose LP came packaged in a pair of women's panties, conditions were ripe for these early progenitors of shock, schlock, and glam rock to fashion one lasting achievement yet to be.

Guitarists Glen Buxton and Michael Bruce (who also plays keyboards), drummer Neal Smith, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and Vince Furnier (a.k.a. Alice Cooper) recorded BDB from August 1972 through January 1973 at the Cooper Mansion in Connecticut with a mobile recording unit, as well as in Morgan Studios, London, and The Record Plant in New York City. The engineers were Shelly Yakus, Frank Hubach, Robin Black, Peter Flanagan, Jack Douglas, and Ed Sprigg. Guitarists Mick Mashbir, Dick Wagner, and Steve Hunter (the latter two would be prominent in Alice Cooper's solo career) and keyboardist Bob Dolin provided extra support.

More textures and bombast than actual hard rock, BDB in retrospect is a strange collection of highly polished performances. Upon closer listen, piano parts are a subtle but surprisingly essential part of the arrangements. Never loud or overdriven guitars, sometimes keening, aid in the album's high-camp zeitgeist."
