🔘 Muscle of Love – Single : 1974

Warner Bros. Records, US (WB 7762)

Alice Cooper Group’s “Muscle of Love”, backed with “Crazy Little Child,” was issued as a 7‑inch vinyl single in the US by Warner Bros. Records (catalog number WB 7762) on Jan 25, 1974. Both tracks are taken from the band’s final studio album as a group, Muscle of Love (1973), marking the last chapter of the original lineup’s run before the transition into Alice’s solo era.

The single showcased two contrasting sides of the Cooper machine:

“Muscle of Love” — a swaggering, hard‑edged rocker built on riffs, attitude, and cinematic grit

“Crazy Little Child” — a playful, jazz‑tinged detour with honky‑tonk swing and vintage flair

A compact snapshot of the group’s late‑era versatility, the release captured the band pushing beyond shock‑rock theatrics into broader musical territory while still retaining their trademark bite.Alice Cooper Group’s "Muscle of Love" backed with "Crazy Little Child", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the US by Warner Bros.
