ALICE COOPER - BILLION DOLLAR BABIES (1973)

I AM SELLING AN ORIGINAL UK VINYL PRESSING OF THE SIXTH ALBUM BY ALICE COOPER CALLED BILLION DOLLAR BABIES, IT’S ON THE WARNERS LABEL FROM 1973. IT’S UNUSUALLY COMPLETE WITH INNER, 11 PERFORATED CARDS (INTACT) AND THE 1 BILLION DOLLAR NOTE. RARE LIKE THIS!  

This is just pure classic Alice Cooper and in my opinion pretty much a “greatest hits collection” on its own. It’s not as hard edged as Killer, but its just a an absolute gem of a record.  "Hello Hooray", Billion Dollar Babies", "Elected", some of my favorites then there’s "No More Mr. Nice Guy", and "Generation Landslide" and that's only half of the album!  
Overall its Alice Cooper at his 70’s best.  If you want hits, this is the LP, you can't go wrong either way. Oh and the superb artwork, cover and extras….top package!

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT - THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT - THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD - THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD - THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.

FAIR – THE RECORD IS STILL JUST PLAYABLE BUT HAS NOT BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND DISPLAYS CONSIDERABLE SURFACE NOISE. IT MAY EVEN JUMP. THE COVER AND CONTENTS WILL BE TORN, STAINED AND/OR DEFACED.

THE USE OF + OR - ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE GRADES.
