Alice Cooper – Raise Your Fist and Yell (1987 LP Canadian MCA Pressing w/ Lyric Inner) - EX/NM Vintage Vinyl (MCA-42091)

Catalog an iconic 1987 shock-rock heavy metal album for your archival inventory: Raise Your Fist and Yell by Alice Cooper! Manufactured in Canada by MCA Records Canada (Willowdale, Ontario) on classic blue sky-and-rainbow MCA labels (MCA-42091), this 12-inch stereo vinyl LP was produced, recorded, and mixed by Michael Wagener for Double Trouble Productions, Inc. (with additional engineering by Garth Richardson and Direct Metal Mastering by Stephen Marcussen at Precision Lacquer in Los Angeles). Featuring Alice Cooper alongside Kane Roberts (guitars), Kip Winger (bass, keyboards), Ken K. Mary (drums), and Paul Horowitz (keyboards), the tracklist spans Side 1 ("Freedom", "Lock Me Up", "Give the Radio Back", "Step on You", "Not That Kind of Love") and Side 2 ("Prince of Darkness", "Time to Kill", "Chop, Chop, Chop", "Gail", "Roses on White Lace"). Housed in its original outer sleeve with album cover concept and design by David Hale Associates, the front cover showcases Jim Warren's surreal screaming-fist painting beneath dripping red Alice Cooper typography, while the back cover features Kevin L. Spinney's black-and-white skeletal skull illustration and dripping logo. Includes the original red-and-black custom printed lyric inner sleeve, while the vinyl itself is preserved in an archival Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) Original Master anti-static inner sleeve.

Structural & Visual Inspection

• Vinyl Surface & Labels Condition - EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT (EX / NM): Glossy black vinyl retains deep groove luster with crisp micro-groove definition, showing only faint, non-feelable hairline sleeve marks and minor surface dust flecks under angled macro inspection. Both Side 1 (MCA7231) and Side 2 (MCA7232) blue sky-and-rainbow MCA labels remain bright, clean, and legible with sharp black typography, minimal spindle marks, and clean center holes.

• Jacket & Inner Sleeves Integrity - VERY GOOD PLUS / NEAR MINT (VG+ / NM): Original outer sleeve exhibits vivid front cover illustration colors, sharp cyan and dripping red title graphics, and clean cream-and-black back cover skeletal artwork and credits, showing light edge/corner rubbing and a solid intact spine with no seam splits. Includes both the original red-and-black printed lyric/credit inner sleeve in clean condition and a clean Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) Original Master anti-static archival inner sleeve.
