Billion Dollar Babies  by Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper (born Vincent Furnier) and his band released Billion Dollar Babies in early 1973, securing a place among the best and most interesting albums of the American hard rock sound in the first half of the '70s. The production was done by Bob Ezrin, who really knows how to highlight anything Alice Cooper and his group prepare for him, as he dresses it with sounds, voices, noises, and whatever else he knows will bring out the theatricality in the band's compositions.

The album was recorded in three different studios: in Connecticut, London, and New York. In the album's title track "Billion Dollar Babies," the British singer Donovan (!) participates in the vocals. The thematic content of the song lyrics, in Alice Cooper's familiar style, aims to provoke and thus revolves around topics such as sexual harassment, necrophilia, violence, and horror.

The album reached No.1 in the United States, the UK, Finland, and the Netherlands, while it also held high positions on the charts of other countries. In the U.S., it has gone platinum due to its sales.
