Alice Cooper is releasing deluxe, expanded reissues of two of his renowned 70s records, 1971’s Killer and 1972’s School’s Out.

The legendary shock rocker’s expanded releases contain a 3LP vinyl edition, 2CD deluxe set, and extra items – particularly with School’s Out, and the audio remaster applied to both albums. View the full tracklists below.

The School’s Out vinyl arrives packed in non-flammable panties, with the outer packaging covered with a pop-up school desk.

School’s Out also comes with a previously unreleased live show in Miami in May 1972, and Studio Extras with alternate and single versions of the title track, Gutter Cat, Alma Mater, and an early demo of Elected.

Cooper’s set at Mar Y Sol Pop Festival in Puerto Rico from April 1972 is showcased on the Killer reissue, with alternate versions of You Drive Me Nervous, Under My Wheels, and Dead Babies featured on the release.

Former Creem editor Bill Holdship said about Killer in the liner notes, “Listening to Killer again after all these years to write these notes was rewarding because, like The Beatles and Elvis, it’s gratifying to realize [sic] I ended up ‘wasting’ my life on something that, even in retrospect, really was that great.

“Fifty years later, Killer remains a perfect — perfect! — rock ’n’ roll record.”
