Released in 1975, this landmark concept album marks Alice Cooper’s debut as a solo artist following the dissolution of the original band. Produced by Bob Ezrin, the record is a theatrical masterpiece that explores the journey of a character named Steven through a series of vivid nightmares. The production is renowned for its orchestral arrangements and high-stakes storytelling, featuring the iconic horror legend Vincent Price providing narration on the track The Black Widow.
The album features a virtuosic lineup of musicians, including guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter, who helped define the sophisticated hard rock sound of the mid-seventies. Recorded at Soundstage in Toronto and Record Plant in New York, the audio was originally mastered by Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab. This collection includes the hit power ballad Only Women Bleed and the anthemic Department Of Youth, cementing its status as a cornerstone of shock rock history.
