Alice Cooper’s 1973 album ‘Muscle of Love’ has been expanded by Rhino.
‘Muscle of Love’ was the seventh and final album for the Alice Cooper band. That band was Alice on vocals, Glen Buxton on lead guitar, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, Dennis Dunaway of bass and backing vocals and Neal Smith on drums and backing vocals.
Alice went solo and stayed solo from his next album ‘Welcome To My Nightmare’.
The song ‘Man With The Golden Gun’ was written for the James Bond movie of the same name but the producers of the movie chose Lulu’s song instead.
That’s the funniest thing. We don’t really have anything to do with that. I just talked to Jimmy Page, he came to the Vampires show in London. And Ronnie Wood came up and played with us on ‘Train Kept A Rollin’. It was great having those guys there. I said ‘what are you doing Jimmy’. He said ‘I’m still working on the Led Zeppelin stuff’. He is remastering the stuff and remixing the stuff. He has a hands on thing with what he is doing. They say ‘we are reissuing ‘Killer’ and ‘School’s Out’ and I go ‘okay’. I don’t have anything to do with that. Its great. You know, every other day someone will say ‘hey it’s the anniversary of ‘Lace and Whiskey’ and I go ‘that’s nice’. I don’t keep track of any of that stuff. But I love the history but I don’t live back there”.
