“Love It To Death”: What If Dali Made The Art For The Third Alice Cooper Album In 1971

Me and my wife are die-hard Alice Cooper fans.

We love the music and the artistic record packaging.

So much so that in 2016 we wrote, produced, and performed a play about the original Alice Cooper Group and performed it in Portland and Seattle over three years just before Covid.

Alice Cooper band founders, Vincent Furnier and Dennis Dunaway, were die-hard Salvador Dali fans.

I always wondered… if they had the money, would they have hired Dali to make album art for their first psychedelic-stab at rock and roll history?

Wonder no more.

The following images were inspired by all of the songs on “Love It To Death”!

I added the songs below each image, just in case you want to know more about their early work.

Let us know if you like it!

Remember the Coop!
