Welcome to My Nightmare is the debut solo studio album by American rock musician Alice Cooper, released on February 28, 1975, by Atlantic Records. A concept album, its songs played in sequence form a journey through the nightmares of a child named Steven. The album inspired the Alice Cooper: The Nightmare TV special, a worldwide concert tour, and his Welcome to My Nightmare concert film. The tour was one of the most over-the-top excursions of that era. Most of Lou Reed's band joined Cooper for this record. Internationally, Welcome to My Nightmare was released by the ABC subsidiary Anchor Records. It is Cooper's only album under Atlantic Records and Anchor Records. The cover artwork was created by Drew Struzan for Pacific Eye & Ear. Rolling Stone would later rank it ninetieth on the list of the "Top 100 Album Covers of All Time". Famed horror film star Vincent Price provided a monologue in the song "Devil's Food", which was used as a segue into the next song, "The Black Widow". The song "Escape" was a rewrite of a song by the Hollywood Stars from their shelved album Shine Like a Radio – The Great Lost 1974 Album, which was finally released in 2013.
