Expected: 6/5/26

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.

Along Came a Spider  is the 25th studio album by singer-songwriter Alice Cooper, released on July 2008 by Steamhammer/SPV. A hard rock/heavy metal concept album, it chronicles the activities of a psychopathic serial killer known as 'Spider' and the eventual undoing of his plans. A commercial success, it ended up becoming Cooper's highest-charting studio effort in the United States since  Hey Stoopid  (1991).
