The Architect of Shock Rock, Alice Cooper, is set to reissue two of his late-career highlights, "Along Came A Spider" (2008) and "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" (2011), on vinyl in 2026. This release marks a highly anticipated moment for collectors, as both albums have been out of print on vinyl for over a decade, making original pressings some of the most sought-after and expensive items in the Cooper secondary market. The new reissue of "Along Came A Spider" is especially noteworthy, as it will feature the original artwork not used in the original strictly limited vinyl edition from 2008.
Furthermore, both albums have been expanded for the new reissues. "Along Came A Spider" contains 3 bonus tracks, while "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" contains a whopping 7 bonus tracks.
