The original Alice Cooper band reunited in 2015 due largely to the efforts of a Dallas fan who took it upon himself to contact all the former members individually and put them in touch with each other. (They broke up in 1974 when Alice Cooper himself broke away to pursue a solo career.) They released an album in 2015 and have kept in touch since. Now they have reunited again for The Revenge of Alice Cooper. This album is also produced by Bob Ezrin, their original producer.
Chicago released their first "greatest hits" album, Chicago IX, in 1975. It had eleven songs on it, but for the 50th anniversary, ten more have been added for a total of 21. I know what you're thinking: "Do we really need yet another Chicago greatest hits album?" The answer is, it depends.
My personal favorite Chicago Greatest hits album is Chicago XXVI: Only the Beginning - The Very Best of Chicago, a two-CD set from 2002. IX (Expanded) is nearly identical to the first disc of XXVII, except the song order is slightly different. The only songs on IX (Expanded) not included on XXVII are "Street Player" and "Thunder and Lightning" (but XXVII has "I'm a Man," "Lowdown," "Happy Man" and "Another Rainy Day in New York City"). (I should also mention that IX (Expanded) includes remixed versions of "Make Me Smile," "25 or 6 to 4" and "Colour My World.")
So here's my take: XXVII has better songs, plus the order makes more sense. The only reason I can think of that someone would prefer IX (Expanded) over XXVII is if he wanted a single CD rather than two, but even then I'd still recommend XXVII over IX (Expanded). (Plus the two-disc set is currently $2 less expensive.)
I bought this at Half Price Books the other day. I might have been tempted to give it pass because I already have the (superior) soundtrack of the original, but in addition to the score, this release also includes an "LP Program" which is a selection of scenes and dialogue from the movie, including the "Beware the Beast Man" (read by Cornelius) and Ursus' "I'm a simple soldier" speeches among others.
This album has been out of print for as long as I have been aware of it. It is the last album Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks released before Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Many's the time I considered buying it on the vintage vinyl or import CD market, but it has always been priced more than I was willing to pay. It is said that "good things come to he who waits," however, and an afforably-priced version was released today. It's quite similar to Rumours if you're familiar with that; if you're not familiar with that, you should probably buy Rumours instead. It was the best-selling album of 1977, and deservedly so.

RIP Tom Lehrer. My Dad used to play his songs for us when we were kids, which goes a long way towards explaining my sense of humor.
