19 Oct 2006--it's...1972!!!

Have any of you ever heard the covers he recorded in 1969-70 for budget comps?  Wildly improbable stuff like "Yellow River," "United We Stand," and "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" (!!!) ?  I've seen the tracks compiled on CD but have always been afraid to buy.

well, there's a bunch of different versions of that comp on Amazon, one's as cheap as 3 bucks.

Tempting -- "Lady D'Arbanville" and "My Baby Loves Lovin'" are really making me consider.

BOS6 Alice!!! and if that don't suit ya, that's a drag.

Alice Cooper kind of sold out a little bit. The song from this set was used (with him in it) on either a Walmart or Target commercial with someone who was supposed to be his daughter a year ago.

He's just like Gene Simmons: He realized one day that it's more lucrative to treat music as a business than as a passion, and changed the game from there.

Which isn't to say that I wouldn't love to hear his comeback hit "Poison" in a 1989 set.
