Cover design

The cover of the album, decorated as a gigantic purse from snake leather (with a billion dollars), was nominated for Grammy.

The girl present in the photographs taken for the turn is Lola Pfifer, daughter of Caroline Pfifer, British PR-Agent Alice Cooper. A few years later, the girl died after an illness.

In connection with photographs for the cover, the group had problems. Firstly, according to American legislation, a special resolution of the FBI is required for photographic reproduction of the American currency. Secondly, according to Dennis Danavei, the group for the photo shoot took exactly one million dollars and sent money to the studio of an armored car with its own securities. When the money was counted after the end of the filming, it turned out that one 10-dollar bill was lacking. Dennis claims that "Glen could not overcome the temptation." The bill was later found in the lighting system of the number.

The idea of the album. Comments on songs

The main idea of the album was that each of us suffers from a particular form of painful perversion. Another thing is, it should certainly be an American perversion: we, you know, nationalists! - Alice Cooper.

Original text (English)

The author of Hello Hooray is Rolf Kempf, Canadian author. For the first time, this song was performed by Judy Collins.

Renfield, the owner of the merchants, claims that he inspired Cooper to create the song “No More Mr. Nice Guy »Article in Rolling Stone magazine. The song was written even when the group worked on Killer, but was rejected without fitting into the subject of the album. For the same reason, it was not included in School`s out.

“Mary Ann” was written about Mary Withaus, scandalously famous at that time to the English activist who fought against immorality on television. But, according to Michael Bruce, in the first version it was a song of protest against the Vietnamese War, and there was a line: “Uncle Sam, I'M REALLY SAD ABOUT YOU, INDEED I am, I Just Can ' I Though You Were ... a man. "

Elected was based on the song “Reflected” from the Pretties for You album.

Donovan performed the party of Bucking Vocal at Billion Dollar Babies. At concerts, Michael Bruce took on his party.

The main part of the text and the general structure of “Sick Things” have a certain resemblance to music to the film if .. with the participation of Malcolm McDauell (known for “Mechanical Orange”). The chorale used here is called Sanctus: it is borrowed from Missa Luba, An African Mass.
