Get yer Alice at Axpona

“I didn’t know Alice was still relavant?”
Neither are $28K R2R decks 😊

There is a matching turntable for $9950 plus an Alice Cooper LP for $595! Both signed by AC. This is a money-grab by a no-longer-relevant company invested in obsolete media.

Alice Cooper's fame peaked decades ago. Hey Revox, how about a Slipknot turntable?

The AC Revox B77 mkIII is a mere $27950! A tape reel of the Aice Cooper Paranormal album is $495. Stuff like this is like remaking the Ford Model T!

Love it to Death is one of the great rock guitar albums. I went through the tortures of the damned to find an early "Straight" label (Zappa imprint for Warners) pressing that wasn't trashed. Record is collectible b/c of the cover. I must have twelve different copies in a bin here (censored, letterboxed, uncensored), finally found a clean WLP.

So, I like Alice from his heyday, especially that record- Randy Kling inscribed master, Bob Ezrin produced (when he was a youngster) and some powerful playing. 

But the marketing department at ReVox needs some serious help. Oy, vey. 

"Love it to Death is one of the great rock guitar albums."

whart- with the exception of "Pretties For You" I have up to BDB. Always been an early Alice fan.

"early "Straight" label"

That's always been on the "look for it, whenever bin diving" list. I have the Warner.

I'm just scratching my head about this Alice/Revox thing? Odd.

Obviously for the "lifestyle/loose wallet" types.

I'd fire the the guy who signed off on this one. 

Thumbs up for Alice. He has his own R2R/table and probably some kind of back-end deal. 

CERTAINLY not for those keeping an eye on their IRA/40lK-OUCH!!

@jasonbourne71 

I have to agree with Jason. This is kind of ridiculous.

BACKSTORY! I was maybe 12 years old when the song, "Schools out for the summer" was in the top 40 on the radio. I loved that song. I was a budding musician then, but really never caught on to his make-up and snakes around his neck. 

But he carved a career for himself that was well deserved. 

However, this foray into this latest marketing gimmick depresses me. I understand the need to perpetuate on income, but this seems really silly and over the top.

Buy some of his old LP's and re-issued CD's, fire them up on whatever system you have and enjoy. Alice Cooper needs your money like a hole in his head.

Now Slipknot I would buy ... that's butter

I think I bought the LP for $3 back then.  I played it on my parents all in one stereo from KMart that probably cost (?) $40 at the time.

  I doubt that hearing it on a $28K R2R would give me anywhere near the pleasure unless it could also recharge my testosterone levels to what they were in 1972.  But then I would also have the acne and the adolescent angst…

Hey guys. Why knock Revox? we all live and die as individuals or businesses by our choices. I am attending Axpona This weekend. Revox should be there. I will inquire as to the Alice Cooper question. I for one I’m glad to see revox alive and hopefully well. I just bought a 215 cassette deck. I’m going to talk to Revox about having that looked at as well.

"Why knock Revox?"

Jnovak-

The goof is putting an image of Alice on a $10k table(which likely is a $3-5K level Pro-ject made?) and the ridiculous graphics on the R2R.

What is the value of that R2R model WITHOUT the Alice Alice treatment?

I'm curious about who is the demographic for this stuff?

Young, rich Instagram/YouTube influencers?

@tablejockey 

The question should be about overall value proposition of a R2R desk in today’s world. Even if one can afford to buy a R2R deck used or new, the rarity of available albums/tapes and price (best tapes are $500 per album) makes it a worthless endeavor, IMHO. 

*L*  I ref AC with that line from Rocky Horror....
"Any way you slice it, it always comes up Meatloaf..."

If I’d lost my mind after winning a major Lotto draw, a $28K A77 would have to be in an unopened box with 1st line cables, no AC labels, all the maintenance widgets, a case of virgin 10" tapes, and delivered by a young nubile woman on leave from the best house in NV when the spouse is out of town.

At that level of fandom, I’d suggest having your skull MRI’d to see if anything is in there...🙄
I had one a few years ago....NO, nothing remotely to do with my presence here (although on occasion a good excuse) AND, Yes, all the typical mush behind the eyeballs.
Asked for and got a CD of the event, fun to slide the view top to bottom and back up.  No, no RFK Jr. worms,  no voids other than my ’normal’ gaps of unconsciousness.....the alien organisms bailed out quite awhile back after getting freaked out by the acid excursions....

"You are now in our control...."

Wanna bet?  Tighten your harness for This thrill ride... ;)

If any of y'all are off to the Axpona audissey, I'd be grateful to learn if any omni's are being shown and flown....
Curious as to whom has what on dis-play....*G*  Can't see from the vendor list who with what is going to be there....

my ex brother-in-law was part of Devil‘s Food a tribute band to Alice Cooper. Being the dude who played Alice. Alice Cooper rules.
