Cooper is hoping to get his name in the Guinness Book of Records through having more albums banned than any other artist, His latest album, 'Muscle of Love,' already certified gold, was nearly added to a long line of Cooper records that have been banned for various reasons --immorality ("Love it To Death" - USA), sacrilege ("Killer" - Mexico), failure to comply With Trade Commission standards ("School's Out" - USA) and failure to meet with FBI approval on reproduction of photos of United States currency ("Billion Dollar Babies" - USA). "Muscle of Love" cameunder scrutiny in South Africa where the inner sleeves depicting Alice and group outside the "Institute of Nude Wrestling" were considered obscene by the Customs and Vice Squads. The albums were finally allowed into the country without the offending material.
