Alice Cooper / Schools Out deluxe reissue

Alice Cooper’s 1972 album School’s Out will be reissued in June alongside the album issued before it, 1971’s Killer.

Both feature newly remastered sound and are available as expanded 3LP vinyl editions and 2CD deluxe sets with the audio content being the same across both.

Schools Out offers a previously unreleased live concert from Miami in May 1972 and a handful of ‘studio extras’ including unreleased alternates and demos. The 3LP edition features a pop-up school desk and panties – just like the original (but these ones are non-flammable, apparently!) and sleeve notes from Bill Holdship.

The packaging is pants… 3LP vinyl edition with “pop-up school desk and panties” [click image to enlarge]

The Killer reissue also includes an unreleased concert, this time from Mar Y Sol Pop Festival in Puerto Rico from April 1972. Like School’s Out this edition also contains some studio extras, in the shape of alternate versions of three songs from Killer.

Schools Out and Killer are reissued on 9 June 2023 via Rhino.
