The
original Alice Cooper band created seven magical albums together between
1969-1973. They reached the pinnacle as a band with the chart topping
album "Billion Dollar Babies" and were looking to keep that success going with
their follow-up album "Muscle Of Love." This would be the last album
with the original band and it features a mix of musical styles. From the hard rock
attack of "Muscle Of Love" to the seventies pop/rock feel of "Never Been
Sold Before," on to the ballad "Hard Hearted Alice" to the big band New
Orleans jazz feel of "Crazy Little Child." They parted ways following
what was supposed to be a short hiatus as Alice Cooper grew apart from
the rest of the band and decided to just go on as a solo artist.

Fidelity has accepted the task of remastering the "Muscle Of Love" in
Quad Multichannel 4.0. It is almost hard to think that this album is one
of the perfect subjects for this remaster process as the music is very
basic, but at the same time, there is so much to listen to. The horns in
"Never Been Sold Before" and "Man With The Golden Gun" just pop from
the speakers and the dual guitars of "Working Up A Sweat" each has it's
own space to breath in this new remastered version. Steve Hoffman and
Stephen Marsh once again do an amazing job with the new production of
the sound on this album. To find out more about this new remastered
version of Alice Cooper's "Muscle Of Love," please visit audiofidelity.net.
