Alice Cooper band
Alice Cooper - lead vocals (all but 3), harmonica
Glen Buxton - lead guitar
Michael Bruce - rhythm guitar, backing vocals and lead (3) vocals, keyboards
Dennis Dunaway - bass guitar, backing vocals
Neal Smith - drums, backing vocals
So many influences here, most notably Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Soft Machine. This band was incredible.
Arthur Lees love too
I don't know if they really were that influential on Alice, they'd been playing for a while as Spiders before this. Beatles defo had an impact, but not so sure about the others.
@@ephre What? Alice covered a LOVE song on a studio album release in the early eighties. You are certainly mistaken.
@@rayzerwrecker70 in the early 80's? They started in the mid 60's. Covering a song is not the same as influence on music.
@@ephre Read what i said again. I said Alice covered a LOVE song in the early 80's. Proving his original band WAS influenced by them as well.
back in the late 70's and early 80's i used to play this and easy action to my punk-loving mates. they used to say "fuck, who's this?" i flogged his first 2 albums more than any others of his. thats not to take anything away from love it to death or killer.
Excelente album 🖤👌🏻
Impressive. A.C.'a debut album, and a tinge of psychedelia. Goes with the ages.
I did not know they made a psychedelic LP till now. wonderful
Two. "Easy action" is the 2nd release 1970 as slightly more rock but still very psychedelic.
I don't think any band made such a quantum leap in their songwriting as Alice Cooper did from this first (1969) commercially disappointing and critically panned debut album, to their second "Easy Action" (1970) and you can hear their music change and grow in a new direction.
By "Love it to Death" (1971) they were already getting national attention. By "Killer" (also 1971) they had become a top act in the U.S.
This is back when he's was acid rock vibe ....damn this man has been around for a long long fuckin time 😂
If you see what I see in the album, you understand why he is where he is & why they even got into rock nd roll hall of fame
THE FIRST ALBUM IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS
WHERE THE MAGIC IS PREVALENT
27:33
there are some similarities with early pink floyd , didn't notice at the time cause i was like 4 years old
Very much soo,in fact this is the closest to pink Floyd ive heard with out it being floyd,as far original material and not just copying floyd
@@iancarnaby3898Arnold lane , astroinimy dominae , take up thy stethoscope and walk .
Definitely. 👍
I would say more a solo Syd Barrett vibe.
i got out of listening to cooper by the time youtube and mp3s were around, so i missed out on a lot of these albums which my local stores didn't carry, great to discover some new gems, not my favourite album but a good one
😳It's really "pretty for me"! Very interesting! "Never heard it before...".) P.S. Frank Zappa influence?🙄😁
Alice hated this album he never did any of these songs live after the second album but I think it was a good album for its time
I think he hated the idea of sharing more than the music. This is the first Alice record, but the band were previously called the Spiders. i think megalomania is partly responsible.
Thank you for the only upload of this album on youtube!
Jahaha! Das war meine allererste selbst gekaufte Scheibe. Damals ein Doppelalbum, vorne in einer Art airbrush, Alice Cooper mit ner Python oder so..., ist ewig her. Das war 1973, da.war ich 12 und habe im Wohnzimmer meiner Eltern sehr waghalsig dazu getanzt.
Jetzt bin ich 62 und der "alte Bastard" rockt noch immer die Arena's... und ich mein Wohnzimmer.
Thanks! Love this one and Easy Action!
Thank you!
my vinyl still has the sticker on it covering her unmentionables
Just think this album was originally released on frank zappa and herb Cohen label bizarre straight label. Not to mention zappa produced it
Thank you for posting this.
So awesome! :)
Thanks for Sharing this wonderful stuff
Titanic indeed!
You would not think this is early Alice Cooper, it's so trippy & psychedelic, not the straigforward hard rock and roll he was more known for later. This is his debut album...I like the melodic lead guitar solos, the drumming, harmonica, cool vocals, etc. It reminds me off how Ted Nugent actually started out in the trippy psychedelic band Amboy Dukes.
They did Journey to the Center of Your Mind.
Not "he"... it's "they". Alice Cooper was the name of the band.
Front man Vincent didn't adopt the name "Alice Cooper" for himself until years later.
Whatever, just paying tribute to an artist in his early days.
tom, its punky too.
"Journey to the Center of your Mind" was their second album. Their debut album was slightly better and a little more psychedelic.

The first alternative band.
I’m pretty sure frank zappa listened to this and told alice “I don’t get it”
It's a pity this album didn't get produced very well. I mean, sure, you can tell the band is new and not very experienced, and the material is a bit too avant garde to ever sell well, but it would have been pretty decent if it had been recorded and mixed properly.
From Wikipedia: "According to Alice Cooper's band manager Shep Gordon, when recording at Whitney Studios in Burbank, Frank Zappa left his brother in charge of recording while Zappa left the studio. Zappa returned later that day and informed them the album was finished, having only recorded the band rehearsing. Gordon states that there was no producer during recording, that the band had no complete songs written, that Zappa "didn't spend 5 minutes in the studio" and never asked to hear their material, and that the band's debut album was made up entirely of that rehearsal recording, aside from the live recording of "Levity Ball".
- I dunno... to me, that makes it a little more impressive on that level. Would be interesting to hear it as a well produced work though.
Who would have known that before becoming a glam act AC put out this, I don't recall this LP ever being seen in record shops when AC first became popular in early 70's. Formative sounds with quite obvious Zappa / Beefheart influence, in parts reminds me of the debut Hawkwind LP.
@@jasonturner2476 from Alice's autobiography Me Alice:
"In November of 1971 [correction: it was late 1968 or early 1969] we recorded our first album, 'Pretties For You'. For a week straight we arrived at the studio and played through every song five or six times with Herbie Cohen and Zappa working over the levels in the control room. We thought we were just getting down to business, ready to lay the bed tracks and experiment, when Zappa walked out of the glass-enclosed booth and said, "Okay. Your album will be ready next Thursday. I said, "There are a few mistakes in that stuff. We weren't even ready to record," but he just patted me on the shoulder and said "Not to worry. Not to worry. We'll work everything out in the mix." We didn't see or hear the album until five months later."
@@toretorden there needs to be a book written on zappa in this capacity. ive got to imagine there are lots of stories like this from everyone he recorded.
Im in my own psychedelic revolution
Finding what put Rock On The Bar None
😅1 DES MEILLEUR ALBUM SUR CETTE TERRE
At the 28 minute mark, it sure sounds like 'Elected"
Yeah, their first two albums didn't sell well at all and the band never played any of this material after Love It to Death, so when they rehashed Reflected into Elected pretty much nobody noticed. But it's a good song and didn't deserve to die in obscurity, so I think it's a good thing.
I would have loved it if Nightmare- or Goes to Hell-era Cooper had rehashed Levity Ball, or if Muscle of Love-era Cooper had rehashed Nobody Likes Me.
@@jeffspaulding9834 I hear a huge Syd Barrett resemblance in writing styles on these first couple of albums.
@@icub4ucu They were roomates with Pink Floyd back when PF was in Los Angeles in the late 60s. If you search around a bit, you'll find where Alice tells a story about Syd staring at a box of cereal for hours.
Some of the vocals remind me of John Lennon.
Wow! A vocal arrangement like The Who kinda 27:40. Some elements evolved into "Elected" perhaps?
Yep definitely reminds me of that.
I wanna be elected!
This is the only album I like from Alice Cooper.
Well, if that's the case, you must have horrendous taste in music!
yeah, The Spiders were a great band.
Then you are the opposite of most Alice fans. It's their least favorite.
@@rayzerwrecker70 yes, most people who like this album really don't like Alice Cooper, i count myself as one of those. Alice Cooper music gets worse and worse each year after this.
You people are just dumb then! Alice is a God!
lots of early Floyd sounds..
Ahhh... this is what prompted Zappa to say "I don't get it" 😂
"If I were to write your music down on paper, I wouldn't know how." -FZ
Нифига себе!
Всегда считал Купера размалёванным попсарём, с тупыми песнями для подростков.
А здесь прям очень серьёзный прог-рок!
Yeah that’s a weird record
Album.sucks.cant.stand.it.....
LOCURA COLECTIVA!!!
