2009, Theatre Of Death simfyLive flyer

During Theatre Of Death Tour Alice put out live performances of each show you can take home or purchase online. This double sided flyer is 5.75x8.25 inches.


This tour was promoting Along Came A Spider which I said before is an excellent album. So far this is the last album I truly like in concept and art. As a Designer's stand point I love the artwork that was put together by Piggy D who plays in Rob Zombie and Wednesday 13 from album to promotional art. I wish I had those individual posters that came out. 
I do have them on jpg files but not actual printed material.  Maybe I'll post them later on.

1978, Saving the Hollywood Sign articles

Two misc. articles about Alice saving the Hollywood sign. The photo w/ Helen Hayes was from Alice's appearance in 1974 The Snoop Sisters TV series.



From www.hollywoodsign.org
1978
Five years after the Swanson makeover, termites have infested the wood and an “O” has tumbled down the mountain. Arsonists set fire to the bottom of an “L.” The City decides the Sign would have to be completely rebuilt at a cost of $250,000, ten times the cost of the original.
Hugh Hefner steps in and throws a lavish fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion to raise funds for the rebuilding costs. To raise the additional funds needed to restore the Sign, celebrities and community leaders sponsor individual letters at $27,500 a piece. Alice Cooper sponsored an “O” in honor of Groucho Marx. Other letters are sponsored by Andy Williams and Gene Autry, among others.

1973, Teenage Lament '74 Music Sheet



 

 





















Single Teenage Lament '74 from Muscle Of Love album. The last record with the original band.
This received some poor reviews but was a good record. My opinion is anything that following Billion Dollar Babies album would of paled in comparison. 

I believe I got this at a record collectible show. I don't recall how much I paid but I know it wasn't the $1.25 price on the cover and it wasn't over $10. I only got it because of the cover photo. Anything w/ the original band seals the deal w/ me. That and of course the right price helps.

1977, Guilty/King Of The Silver Screen Tour Book

The title on this tour book just reads Alice Cooper but is actually known as Guilty/King Of The Silver Screen. Page 20 gives the titled Guilty that list the musicians, dancers and other credits. There is no copy write date on this program. I do remember ordering this in the Lace & Whiskey Fan Club.
It was a little damaged in the mail as one of the corners were bent. Or maybe it already was damaged before they sent it out.
It has a collection mostly of Welcome To My Nightmare tour and Nightmare TV show. There are also some earlier pics of Alice. Majority of the pages are in black & white.
The size of the book is 10x14 and my scanner is small. I had to scan in tiles so you may notice half the page is lighter than the other half plus some close crop images.
