Keepin' Halloween Alive

Shout! Factory and Alice Cooper announced an exclusive
alliance to bring Alice Cooper as brand-new Halloween single, ”Keepin’
Halloween Alive”, to the digital music entertainment marketplace.
The announcement was made by Shout! Factory founding partner and COO
Bob Emmer.
Under its agreement with Cooper, Shout! Factory will be the exclusive
digital media distributor for Alice Cooper as new single, Keepin’
Halloween Alive, as well as the track‘s bonus Karaoke (aka Cooperoke)

Keepin Halloween Alive, was co-written and co-produced by Cooper with
Piggy D. (a member of Rob Zombie’s band), who played rhythm guitar/backup
vocals. Dave Pino (Powerman 5000) is featured on lead guitar, and David
Spreng (Bob Dylan, The Bravery) on drums. Of the recording, Cooper says,
“We played it live as a band to capture the vibe. It was the easiest
work I think any of us have ever done, not to mention a blast!”
Download at iTunes.
Released on 9.29.09, Keepin’ Halloween Alive has
that Dirty Diamonds sound.
Very fast garage sounding sort of Iggy Pop-ish. Alice known for his
anthem songs I can see this being performed during the Halloween season.
The Keepin’ Halloween Alive (Cooperoke
Mix ) the karaoke version is for you who like to sing along w/ the new
tune.
Artwork: I love the
art work. A PDF format you download along w/ the single. It reminds
me of the old advertisements you see in your vintage comic books or
monster magazines. The cover resembles the old Halloween costumes you
bought at Woolworth's. You know the ones in the cardboard box and cutout
cover to show the plastic mask that made you sweat w/ the spaghetti
thin elastic that barely held on.
The inside back are the credits and lyrics. The artwork is consist of
fake advertisements like Monster Rings and to promote his latest tour
title a plastic Theatre of Death Guillotine for only .98 cents.
T he back cover list the tracks w/ Alice's face used during the Theatre
of Death tour promos. They also include art of the inside CD holder.
Very well done except for the proportions. If you scale them down to
fit a CD case the size is off.
