Ezrin and Cooper hired all four members of Reed’s live band, plus Levin, to work on Cooper’s new album. Reed’s band on his following live album Rock 'n' Roll Animal (1974) was composed of Hunter, Wagner, Prakash John, and Pentti Glan. Subsequently, Ezrin produced and performed on Lou Reed’s 1973 concept album Berlin, including Hunter, Wagner, and Tony Levin. Ezrin, Steve Hunter, and Dick Wagner had all performed on the Alice Cooper band’s 1973 studio album Billion Dollar Babies, produced by Ezrin. The album is a concept album, with Cooper telling the story of the nightmares of the character Steven. Cooper hired Bob Ezrin, who had produced four previous Cooper records, to collaborate with him. Cooper intended the music to be more theatrical than the previous glam rock focused records. The Alice Cooper band broke up by Spring of 1974, with Cooper beginning work on his first solo project. The remastered CD version adds three alternate version bonus tracks.Ī sequel concept album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, was released in 2011.

The original version of "Escape" was recorded by the Hollywood Stars for their shelved 1974 studio album Shine Like a Radio, which was finally released in 2013. Famed horror film star Vincent Price provided a monologue in the song "The Black Widow".

Most of Lou Reed's band joined Cooper for this record. The ensuing tour was one of the most over-the-top excursions of that era.

Played in sequence, the songs form a journey through the nightmares of a child named Steven. Welcome to My Nightmare is a concept album.
