Rhino will reissue two of those platinum albums – KILLER (1971) and SCHOOL’S OUT (1972) – with newly remastered sound, rare recordings, and previously unreleased live performances.
School's Out Edition will include the Miami concert on May 27, 1972, adds even more unreleased music to the collection. The Killer Edition concert is Mar Y Sol Pop
Festival in Puerto Rico on April 2, 1972.
The vinyl versions for both Deluxe Editions recreate the original album sleeves down to the smallest detail. For KILLER, that means a gatefold sleeve that opens to reveal a detachable 1972 calendar with a photo of Cooper in the gallows. The cover of SCHOOL’S OUT looks like a wooden school desk and opens to reveal the LP wrapped in a pair of panties.
Both sets come with booklets that include track-by-track commentary by band members and former Creem Magazine editor Jaan Uhelszki, plus liner notes by Bill Holdship, also a former Creem Magazine editor.
