1977 Patch

From the Lace and Whiskey Fan Club in '77 I ordered this iron or sewed-on patch.
As you notice this image is from Billion Dollar Babies album in '73.
I believed I wanted the image of Alice w/ the Medusa head (snake as hair)
which was displayed on their Alice Cooper Contraband flyer but they sent me this image.
I never decided what piece of clothing to attach it too.
Good thing because I've would of grown out it.

Patch is 5x5 inches

1977 Alice Cooper Belt Buckle

This was one of my purchases from the '77 Lace and Whiskey Fan Club.
Alice Cooper logo is from his Welcome To My Nightmare album that was released in '75.
I use to wear this a lot during that time. I actually need a belt that I can switch the buckle.

1977 Lace and Whiskey Fan Club, part I

This is the first fan club I ever joined. I wanted to join the earlier fan club that was posted in School's Out album but I knew they probably were not running at this time in '77.
I received quite a bit of material so I'll do this in sections.
So far Part I includes the following...

 Letter from President of Fan Club Nicholas Narl welcoming me to Alice Cooper Fan Club.

This was a photocopied letter that seems to be sent out to all members.

Official Certificate of Insanity

Mine is actually all yellowed w/ age and tape. I found this image on line much better version.

On my certificate I wrote on the Witnessed By line Dwight Fry. I thought I was so clever. hah...

June 8, 2012, Born This Way cover

During Bonnaroo Alice cover's Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" in Alice fashion.
If you know Alice he's always like to keep the crowd off balance. I know some website post goes as far as saying how disgraced they were to hear Alice sing a Lady Gaga song. First of all those people are not Alice fans. His fans know Alice has a sense of humor. When I heard the song I thought boy those lyrics sound like something Alice would sing. Sure enough I did a search and Alice changed the lyrics. He kept the chorus and a few lines but it was tailored to Alice. Plus the band made it more rock than pop.
I kind of liked it and it's funny to hear the Bonnaroo audience singing along to it.

1971 Promo Poster

I got this poster at a collectable show back in the '90s. This was taken during Love It To Death time. Alice is sporting the spider eye make up. Warner Brothers logo next to Alice Cooper's name at bottom right. It may be hard to seen but Alice is wearing a witches pentacle. This was during the time they were telling people the origin of Alice Cooper's name was from a 17th century witch.

This poster is a heavy cardboard that has some wear to it w/ tack holes in the corners. At the time I never seen anything like this on Alice so I had to pick it up right away.
