(October 25, 2024 - Los Angeles, CA) Today, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees, the iconic Alice Cooper, unveil a brand new Deluxe Edition of their 1973 classic Muscle of Love. It arrives in multiple configurations, including a 2LP Vinyl and a 1CD/Blu-ray. It’s available exclusively at Rhino.com and select international WMG stores. A digital deluxe edition will be available on November 20.

Listen to “Teenage Lament ‘74 (Acoustic Diversion)” HERE.

The definitive version of the band’s seventh and final full-length offering encompasses 11 previously unreleased tracks, spanning recently unearthed Early Versions and Alternate Mixes of staple songs. The CD/Blu-ray set features the original 192/24 resolution quadraphonic mixes making their debut on Blu-ray.

Additionally, the liner notes feature an in-depth and immersive track-by-track account of the story behind MUSCLE OF LOVE, as told to renowned music journalist Jaan Uhelszki. She spoke extensively to Cooper, guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, drummer Neal Smith, and additional guitarist Nick Mashbir to compile the most comprehensive discourse on this record ever published thus far.

Check out the full tracklisting below.

Muscle of Love saw the band double down on their rock ‘n’ roll roots, delivering an uncompromising body of work buoyed by impeccable playing, massive hooks, and good old-fashioned Detroit grit. Produced by Jack Richardson and Jack Douglas, it cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and scored a Gold certification from the RIAA. This uncompromising body of work includes the famed title track “Muscle of Love” as well as “Teenage Lament ’74,” “Big Apple Dreamin’ (Hippo),” and “Hard Hearted Alice.” It would also be the final album recorded by the original band, and they definitely went out with a bang, to say the least.

Stay tuned for more from Alice Cooper soon.
