From the Inside is the fourth solo studio album by American rock singer Alice Cooper, released on November 17, 1978 by Warner Bros. Records. It is a concept album about Cooper’s stay in a New York asylum due to his alcoholism. Each of the characters in the songs were based on actual people Cooper met in the asylum. Among other collaborators, the album features three longtime Elton John associates: lyricist Bernie Taupin, guitarist Davey Johnstone and bassist Dee Murray.

DaDa is the fifteenth studio album by Alice Cooper, released in 1983. DaDa would be Cooper’s last album until his sober re-emergence in 1986 with the album Constrictor. The album’s theme is ambiguous, however, ongoing themes in the songs’ lyrics suggest that the main character in question suffers from mental illness, resulting in the creation of many different personalities. The album alludes strongly to the dadaist movement: its cover was based on a painting by Salvador Dalí titled “Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire”.

Although some highlights from Alice Cooper‘s performance at last year’s Wacken Open Air festival were featured in the “Live at Wacken 2013″ DVD released earlier this year, UDR Records are beginning to release artists whole sets in special CD/DVD packages and Alice Cooper is the first in what will hopefully be a long line of releases to come.
Of course, Alice needs no bigging up at this point in his career, having seen and done everything there is to do in a career in rock music that spans nearly half a century, and that is kind of the point of this set as the idea of the Raise the Dead Tour was to pay homage to The Hollywood Vampires, a group of rock stars – including Cooper, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Micky Dolenz and Ringo Starr – who used to get together and try to out drink each other, and some of the other fellow hellraisers who fell by the wayside along the way, like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison.

Constrictor is the sixteenth studio album by rock musician Alice Cooper released on September 22, 1986. After retiring from the music industry after the release of DaDa, Cooper remained in seclusion for three years. He starred in Monster Dog, a horror film for which he wrote two songs. He also guest starred on the Twisted Sister track "Be Chrool to Your Scuel". It was Alice Cooper's first record to feature bass playing from Kip Winger, who would later gain great fame with his own band, Winger.
