What I think is the Holy Grail of footage would be the full song from Diary Of A Mad Housewife. The final edit of the actual film is a mere glimpse of the rip-roaring performance that we watched on a big screen during the film crew's daily rushes. Astute ACG Fans like myself are aware that not all ...

It would be great if a DVD of the entire In Concert show with that level of quality could be included but unfortunately, as you state and is often the case, the cost of adding that footage (in full) is too much. Ted To be clear, it isn't the FULL show (afaik), just what was originally aired. I see....

You do know this was done by Friday Music just a couple of months ago? New vinyl issue complete with desk and panties. Yes; sorry, I should have clarified: I'm also hoping for additional audio content. A 5.1 mix has been suggested here; I'm still holding out for a live album plus at least 1 or 2 ot...

SO would make a great re-release largely due to the opportunity to restore all of the original packaging. Ted You do know this was done by Friday Music just a couple of months ago?

A thoughtful, proactive move on Alice's part. Kudos to him for taking that step.

...If it were up to the wishes of the majority of Alice Cooper (the group), we would have created nearly 30 more albums and shows by now. If only for a time machine... Thanks, Dennis. You rock . Alice Cooper - Original Group and solo combined - have/has released a total of 28 studio albums. So Denn...

Muscle Of Love went gold, didn't it?

I've heard an interview with Neal Smith during which it was mentioned that MOL had sold 800,000 copies. As 500K albums sold constitutes a gold album in the U.S., the answer to your question is yes.

Thank you for your informative replies, Si and mestreech.

That's NOT 100% true. The latest WB reissues were waiting for approval from the management so they (sometimes) do have to approve releases. i am not sure on this, however i know when i have spoken to some smaller record labels and they actively tried to do reissues of several alice albums and were ...

I too would like to know where this info. was obtained from.

I've previously mentioned in this website - possibly elsewhere in this Forum - that I have a 2 CD release from the early 90's called Welcome to Our Nightmare which features various U.S. hardcore and alternative Groups and Artists covering ACG and AC solo songs. Black Juju with Lydia Lunch and Rowlan...

^^ I'm afraid so. He died in 1995.

I'm more interested in why Casey Kasem hasn't had them on his show yet. Come on, Casey. Get with it.

Casey Kasem passed away in 2014.

But WB has already two early albums ready to be released with bonus (maybe demo but for sure live concert). But it was never released, very strange because everything was finished. Strange world the musicbizz If I made my best educated guess, I'd say the reason the two albums haven't been released ...

I too am only really interested in the business aspect regarding royalties, publishing, etc. Re. songs reverting to their author(s) after a certain amount of time has lapsed, I've read about this happening under certain circumstances; in others, the rights enter the public domain which has happened ...

The published version of my book well serves it's intended purpose - to show how high school friends can achieve their dream, and to show the camaraderie and chemistry of that collective driven goal. The stories that were cut from my book tend to pop up in my interviews. Cindy's stories are very mu...

^^ Thanks for your reply Dennis. I wasn't aware that Record Companies owned the publishing when recording contracts were signed back in the day, and I know about the publishing lawsuit initiated by Herb Cohen but it slipped my mind when I made my previous post. I know what the apparent outcome of th...

^^ The co-Author of Dennis' book has stated that there was a huge amount of material that had to be omitted from 'Snakes..'. Hopefully Cindy can provide a fair amount of great recollections in her book.

...was the whole group cut loose by Warner Bros. due to Vincent's going solo? Yet, somewhere along the line did the band secure 1/5 of royalties due the ACG for previous recordings? :rock: It's been stated elsewhere in this Forum that the Greatest Hits album and WTMN were the final albums released ...
