Had the original album on vinyl in the 70s thought I would get it again. What a brilliant bonus having, a the original album, which is brilliant and a added bonus of a live show. Alice never fails to deliver, and on this brilliant double album it is not disappointing. As I haven't heard it since I had it on vinyl.

I had already owned 'Schools Out', in LP and CD form, for about 30 years before I bit the bullet and bid on Billion Dollar Babies. I now wonder why I waited so long, as I have done nothing but enjoy this CD since it dropped thru the letterbox. A lot of the tracks were out in the early seventies as singles and B sides, so maybe thats why, but having heard this again (and again) has made me re-evaluate Alice Cooper. Maybe the quality of the band's music and production has gotten overlooked in the theatrical extravaganza that is an Alice Cooper show, but as somebody notable said, Alice Cooper have their own specific sound, and lyrics which can be cynical, ironic or humourous. Its inventive and varied, using latin rhythms on the end of 'raped and freezing' to emphasise a bad-taste Chihuahua adventure, lifting unashamedly from James Bond movies on 'unfinished sweet' (with additional dental sound effects), which is not something the unwary would anticipate, but gives it an extra dimension. The band may well be one of the most underrated ever. Really. 'Hello Hurray' is a superb anthem, and 'Elected' is a brilliant song, as is 'Generation Landslide' with its slightly off key creepy guitar intro. The only thing that grates is the apparent desire to overwork the 'shock' elements a little too much, as with songs such as 'I love the dead'. That and the predictable 'Mary Ann' are possibly the down points of the album, and leave this CD with a slight feeling that it has tailed off at the end, but despite this I would have to rate this purchase as excellent. And produced by Bob Ezrin. Say no more.Read full review
