Alice Cooper – Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits was released on August 9, 1974. This album is the band's only greatest hits compilation and serves as their final release as a group before Alice Cooper pursued a solo career. It follows their seventh studio album, Muscle of Love. The album features many of their classic hit songs, including "I'm Eighteen," "School's Out," "Under My Wheels," "Hello Hooray," "Elected," "No More Mr. Nice Guy," and "Billion Dollar Babies."
The album's iconic cover art, designed by Ernie Cefalu and illustrated by Drew Struzan, features a sepia-toned image of the band in a 1930s garage setting, surrounded by legendary Hollywood stars like Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, and Marilyn Monroe. This nostalgic yet provocative aesthetic perfectly complements the band's theatrical image.
The album's inner sleeve continues the cinematic theme, showcasing the band amidst a larger ensemble of Hollywood icons. A striking depiction of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre adds a layer of dark intrigue to the overall design.
The album performed well on the charts, reaching number 8 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. It has achieved Platinum certification by the RIAA, signifying sales of over 1,000,000 units in the United States, and 3x Platinum in Canada with sales of 300,000. It also received Platinum certification in Australia with sales of 70,000.
