Alice Cooper signed "From The Inside" Album, Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear and includes the vinyl. Authenticated by JSA with a COA.
This was the fourth solo studio album by the Legendary Godfather of Shock Rock. It is a concept album about Cooper’s stay in a New York asylum due to his struggle with alcoholism. Even the characters in the songs are based on actual people Cooper met in the asylum. The album cover is a center parting gatefold with Alice Cooper's face on the front. It opens up into a triple page image of the inside of a lunatic asylum. In the top left corner is a door with a sign above that reads "The Quiet Room"; this is a hidden flap that opens to reveal Cooper, sitting in a padded cell with a straitjacket by his feet. On the inside of the flap there is a message that reads "Inmates! In memory of Moonie", a nod to Cooper's old drinking buddy Keith Moon, who was the drummer for rock band the Who. The picture of Cooper in the cell is printed on the inner sleeve along with the song lyrics. On the rear of the album is a picture of the back of an asylum building with the track listing on the double doors, which open to show all the inmates stampeding down the corridor, waving papers in the air stating their release. Both the images hidden by flaps were printed on the inner sleeve.
