It is crazy that Billion Dollar Babies goes 50 this year damn Alice you still rock for ur age!
That Billionaire Dollar Babies album looks amazing. Now we need a Constrictor rerelease. I did pre-order the new Ace Frehley. It has good tunes. The best solo record since Anomaly.
hey frank..couldnt resist saying something about alice..i saw the band on that tour in new york..you definitely would've dug it..i tried to see alice all thru the 70s and 80s when i could..the man still has it today..hope you and the family are well..peace always my friend..rocky
Quady-oh what are you talking about? Isn't it Quadraphonic
Happy Friday Frank. Definitely grabbing the Alice after seeing your review. Couldn't find Ace here in Mississauga and Amazon didn't honor my vinyl preorder. Loving it on spotify-even with its flaws.I did get the Bob Deal album. While it's more Micks:AM than 8 Mars blues, I do enjoy its tone and sound, a very easy Friday listen. Check out the last track LA Noir the instrumental-excellent. One cool note about the vinyl, mine was not advertised as limited but arrived Clear. Mick was famously asked his "favorite color" for a Metal Edge mag article back in the early days and answered "clear"-a great nod to the past! 🤘
That was the 1st album I ever bought with my own money! Love it in advance!!
I love it when they plough so much detail into the deluxe editions. New pictures and extra info is great for the fan but the one thing I have noticed is that some of the reproduced pictures are now digital and they are sometimes not so sharp and clear as the originals. That aside I think they are great ! Have a great weekend Frank
I still have my original copy of Babies, purchased in 1973 when I was a high school sophomore. My, how time flys. The only issue mine has is that the perforated trading card sheet has separated from the surrounding cardboard from years of handling.
Thank you for the reviews Frank! We finally preordered Alice’s “Billion Dollar Babies.” Thrilled you like it! We’ve never had a bad Rhino pressing so far.🎧
I also wanted badly to love the new Mick MARS solo album but hate to say it SUCKS. The new Ace Frehley cd ROCKS so glad i preorder it. Think it's his best work since first leaving KISS !!!
The bits that I've heard from the new Ace album I've liked. Need to hear it all. I have that Alice CD version of billion dollar babies plus an original pressing. Think I'm going to stay pat with those, even though this new release looks good. Saving some of my money for rsd this year. There's a Yardbirds release that I'm interested in.
I still have my original 1973 US version and 1973 Japan version, that came with a full size poster of Alice and the OBI. It blows the US version out of the water. But Japanese vinyl always has been far superior compared to the US.
I'll more than likely pass on this since I already have the live version.
I like the new Ace record
Aloha Frank,
Thank you for your review on this Rhino release of Billion Dollar Babies 3 record Set . I was on the fence on this release, it is my favorite record album by Alice Cooper, but I was debating because of the price here in Honolulu Hawaii.
Thanks to your review, I'll be looking to purchase this BILLION DOLLAR BABIES Rhino release.
Always looking forward to watching your videos.
Mahalo Ed
Revisit anomaly I think it’s good. Im mixed on his new one.
Yes, you’re right, the Friday Music versions of Killer and Schools Out sound like mud. I have BDB on SACD as well.
Great video – btw that Tuk Smith album absolutely rocks ❤
the Ace Frehley album was produced by Steve from band trixter, and longtime fan of kiss and Ace. He talked about in an interview "keeping Ace focused and promised him it would be the best solo album he made since 78" and delivered 100%…
key standouts "in the skies" and "blinded"…great CLASSIC ACE!!! : )
In today's vinyl world to pay $70 on a box set and they come in paper sleeves seems a little bit of a cheaply put together set
I just listened to a few on the songs on the Ace record, and it does sound auto-tuned. Great video.
