Hidden Facts of Fashion

With the 1974 disintegration of the original Alice Cooper group, Alice was free to launch a solo career. He wisely decided to re-enlist the services of Bob Ezrin for his solo debut, Welcome to My Nightmare, which was a concept album tied into the story line of the highly theatrical concert tour he launched soon after the album's release.

The difference is, this time Smith sounds fully energized and ready to tear a hole in your sound system with the tension and power of his vocals.
