50th Anniversary Gatefold 180g Vinyl LP Reissue Mastered by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Records in Hollywood; Features Long Out-of-Print, Die-Cut Cover with Pull-Out 1972 Calendar
Killer certainly takes its title to heart. This is an album that bursts forth with energy, danger, and a razor-sharp edge. Too much ain't enough. This 1971 set followed up on the breakthrough success of Love It To Death and solidified Alice and his band's position as rock's most notorious, shocking, sleazy, and theatrical unit.
Killer finds the group further honing its heavy-rock sound while hinting at the more complex song structures that would appear on subsequent releases. The proof is in songs such as the unrelenting "Desperado," the commanding "Be My Lover," and the direct "Under My Wheels," all Coop staples.
The 50th Anniversary gatefold 180g vinyl LP reissue was mastered by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Records in Hollywood. This collectible edition is presented with a deluxe die-cut cover (originally designed by Alice himself), with the original detachable 1972 calendar artwork. Kachina, his boa constrictor, is featured on this classic album cover.
