Vinyl - Record Spinning


Full Range

Recommended Posts

This next album is unique 

Released Nov 1971 Same year as the previous album 

 

On the track - Halo Of Flies - you would be impressed with the dum solo 

Alice Cooper in an interview mentioned that on this album and Halo Of Flies was an attempt to play King Crimson like prog rock 

 

Anyway it’s a fantastic album and close to my prog beating heart 

 

Artist - Alice Cooper 

Title - Killer

Mom hated these albums, wanted to ban them from the house, then I told her Alice was PK just like her, and she sort of recanted... Had to wear headphones though so not to rattle Dad up.It was not always easy living in a Musical family that was prominently Opera.

The album that has the anthem tracks is now spinning 

I’m sure that everyone knows the song Schools Out 

 

I’m getting very nostalgic listening to these albums - so many memories 

 

Artist - Alice Cooper

Title - Schools Out

We now come to the last studio album released by the original Alice Cooper band 

Released in 1973 - Lost or lent out my original copy and only recently found a first pressing via @dirtmudd Mike in the USA and added it to the collection 

 

This album is very underrated but it’s also one of the best 

From memory and I’m not sure if this is totally correct but the James Bond creators had a competition to submit the theme song to Man With The Golden Gun 

Alice Cooper and band submitted a great version; however were not chosen 

 

Also on this album Lisa Minnelli and Pointer Sisters make an apearance as backup singers 

 

Artist - Alice Cooper 

Title - Muscle Of Love

That was what I had heard,

WIKI: An unsolicited theme song was recorded for the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, but a different song of the same name by Lulu was chosen instead.

A favorite is Crazy little Child

This is another original Pressing I have in storage. I got to wondering how many LP's I now have. I remember having to change the book shelves to hold them, went from a 6 foot wide to an 11 foot long shelf(s)

I will definitely enjoy them all again, I may make plans to pull them from storage later this year.

I have and always had my collection on display 

Many times I was told to get rid of an antiquated medium 

But I kept every single one and I ask  - Now Who’s Laughing 😝

Yep!!

You and me both.

The hard part for me was when I was robbed, they grabbed a bunch of equipment and many (very selective of) my LP's

I had It's a beautiful Day album with white bird on it, a bunch of Jerry Lee Lewis and the Playboys,  Some of the Pink Floyd all my CCR, Steppenwolf's and Rolling stones, oh and most of the Beatles albums.

I wasn't sure if I was hurt more at losing the Thorens or the LP's at the time, but I had just installed a SME Arm on the Thorens so it hurt either way.
