The way-out sounds -- first Alice Cooper a great garage psych classic.... here's the story:
Back in 1969, Alice Cooper were a struggling band. Flat broke getting by only from stiffing every motel in Detroit. On to Los Angeles, things were no better. Frank Zappa met up with Alice Cooper at a party where it was learned Mr. Z. had started his own record label , Bizarre/Straight. Alice wanted to record an album. When Frank witnessed the band on stage, he noticed that each time they played, they would send the audience away in a fit. To the point of a ghost town. The stage show at this time was so offensive and disgusting it made the later Alice Cooper stage extravaganza seem mild. No big budget theatrics, instead the likes of a transvestite crying "nobody likes me" and then having a temper tantrum like a 2 year old, lying on his back repeating 4 letter f- words until every single audience member had enough. Zappa saw SOMETHING, we can only imagine what, in this. Zappa offered them a tryout for a record deal, and to his surprise one morning, they snuck into his basement studio and began playing-- loud. A naked, alarmed Zappa rushed out of bed and gave them the deal on the account THEY STOPPED PLAYING RIGHT THEN! The budget was microscopic and the scheduling was rushed. The band DID NOT have any say in the production. One of the things Zappa found interesting was that he realized he would have a challenge trying to transcribe much of their music on paper. It was full of odd time signatures, on a dime changes, sputters, and things that gave it character. It is the perfect example of something that sounds like trash until your band tries to play it. It takes some skill to keep it all together. It is a lot harder than it may seem. None of this music is orchestrated in notation, moreover none of it was developed over time in a studio and none of it was played with real enthusiasm to a crowd on stage. It is literally taking green amateurs and giving them a couple of hours in a studio and that's that. Aside from the multitude of musical detail on this album, admitting hard to notice at first due to the rushed pace of recording (sloppiness) and the lack of studio polish (live in studio, few overdubs), there is some great songwriting. A lot of the ideas are quite off the wall, but there is a definite mixing of emotions within the songs, typical of a lot of the psych music. It is SUPPOSED to be that way! NOT a result of bad songwriting. This was recorded at a time when in Los Angeles about the hardest thing around was Spirit or Amboy Dukes. Maybe the likes of Zeppelin coming through on the radio. Or Cream. That's about it.
By the way, Alice Cooper were not into drugs. They only drank alot. And the cover of the album was taken from an original painting Zappa had hanging in his living room. Also, there are no Cooperisms on here , no "sick things" such as necrophilia, mental illness, etc. so if you are in love with Alice the persona, get a scrapbook and enjoy the wallet size cut out pics from your original LP press of Billion Dollar Babies (great album packaging by the way), this has nothing to do with black leather. Alice has blond hair and is in a green mini dress in the back cover photo.
