Forthcoming Alice Album Coming To iPad

Plus there\'s a new Classic Rock Fan Pack on the way

Sleaze Roxx reports that Future Publishing is making its next fan pack  release - Alice Cooper'sWelcome2 My Nightmare - available simultaneously in print and via the iPad.

Having previously released a number of special bespoke magazine packs featuring albums by Blondie, Motorhead, Slash and Whitesnake, the forthcoming Alice Cooper album will be released as a fan pack physically and on the iPad.

Along with all the material available on the printed version, the iPad album fan pack will feature a digital version of the album along with video footage recorded at the Download festival, interactive elements and other additional content.

Classic Rock and Metal Hammer publisher Chris Ingham said that the brief from Alice Cooper's management was to "put Halloween in a box".

The title is due for release in September, four weeks before the standard album version from Universal. It is understood that the iPad version will then be updated, post release.

"We believe it is a world first," said Ingham.
