16.Not That Kind Of LoveAnother Alice Cooper compilation. "He's back" was released on September 8th, 1997 by Ar-Express (BMG Vertrieb) - the German BMG label. It's an extended and better version of the "Prince Of Darkness". Both compilations were trying to give fans and other people the chance to listen to bits and pieces of Alice's two recordings for MCA - "Constrictor" (1986) and "Raise Your Fist And Yell" (1987) without actually buying them both.Where "Prince Of Darkness" have only 10 songs (5 from "Constrictor", 4 from "Raise Your...", + live version of "Billion Dollar Babies"), "He's Back" has 16 of them. That's 80% percent of both MCA albums - 16 out of 20 songs. The four missing songs are: "Life And Death Of The Party", "Simple Disobedience" from "Constrictor", and "Give The Radio Back", "Gail" from "Raise Your...".Many songs from "Raise Your Fist And Yell" on that compilation were available only before on the original album. However, the original album is hard to find these days, same as this compilation. Even though the release of this CD dates to '97, it's already a rare collector's item. So, if You have a chance to buy it, GO FOR IT!"
