Alice Cooper - Pretties For You (1969 US Promo) | Psychedelic Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

Pretties For You is the debut album from Alice Cooper, released in 1969 on Straight Records, catalog STS 1051. US pressing, stereo, gatefold. This copy is a promo from the Santa Maria plant. Alice Cooper were signed to Frank Zappa's Straight Records alongside a handful of deliberately unconventional acts - the label was Zappa and Herb Cohen's outlet for things that wouldn't fit anywhere else. At this point the band - Vincent Furnier, Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith - had barely left Phoenix. Zappa and Ian Underwood produced the record. Pretties For You sounds nothing like the Alice Cooper most people know. The shock-rock theatrics and heavy riffs of Billion Dollar Babies weren't close to existing yet. This is a fractured, avant-garde psych record - short collage pieces, Dada-influenced structures, songs that don't resolve the way songs are supposed to. It has more in common with Freak Out! than with anything on the radio in 1969. "Reflected" appears here in its original form and later became "Elected." "Levity Ball" is listed as live from The Cheetah, a club in LA that was one of the main venues for the city's psych scene. 🎧 This is a full vinyl rip from my original promo stereo copy. 🔥 Standout tracks include "Sing Low, Sweet Cheerio," "Fields Of Regret," "Reflected," and "Levity Ball (Live At The Cheetah)." 🎸 Sounds like: Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention Captain Beefheart The Velvet Underground United States of America 🎧 Vinyl Finds Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9oSXuMGglp1N8SlbZUEtCJ7 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Titanic Overture 01:11 Minutes Before The Worm 02:52 Sing Low, Sweet Cheerio 08:38 Today Mueller 10:26 Living 13:39 Fields Of Regret 19:30 No Longer Umpire 21:31 Levity Ball (Live At The Cheetah) 26:13 B.B.
