Blind Taste Test #9 Revealed: Alice Cooper


Head back to 1969 for Pretties For You, the debut recording of Alice Cooper, recorded on the Frank Zappa Staight label. The CD and the original album, is currently out of print (although a decade or so ago it was released in a way befitting such a classic along with their second and last album for Straight, “Easy Action” by Restless/Retro). This is inexcusable. Because this is a full blown rockin’, messy psych mindfuck and things like that should be ALWAYS be accessible.

Now that the identity has been revealed, your views are still welcome.

Your blind taste tunes:

1) Today Mueller

2) Living

Other Pretties For You tracks:

Reflected (this would later be reworked into "Elected" for the 1973 Billion Dollar Babies album)

Levity Ball (a live version of this tune is on Pretties For You, this is the "unreleased" studio version)
