Performer: Alice Cooper
Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: Personnel: Alice Cooper (vocals); Michael Smith, Glen Buxton (guitar); Dennis Dunaway (bass); Neal Smith (drums). Producers: Jack Richardson, Jack Douglas, Bob Ezrin. Though the original Alice Cooper group's previous few records were major hits (LOVE IT TO DEATH, KILLER, SCHOOL'S OUT, and BILLION DOLLAR BABIES), and the band's concerts were selling out, touring burnout and the desire to pursue solo projects lead to the dissolution of the original cast. This 1974 best-of still stands as a monument to them. The best-known selections from this superb 12-track collection include the perennial summertime fist-pumper "School's Out" and the breakthrough teen-alienation rocker "I'm Eighteen" But it doesn't just stop there--all the rest of the tracks are exceptional as well. Alice Cooper's GREATEST HITS is certainly a definitive collection when it comes to the first phase of Alice Cooper.
Alice Cooper, AKA Vincent Furnier, became famous with a mixture of hard rock and sideshow horror. With his outrageous image and stage show, entertainer extraordinaire Cooper (who eventually adopted the band's name as his own) almost single-handedly invented the genre of shock rock--spawning a legion of famous imitators (Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson) along the way. By the end of the 1970s, Cooper had racked up a number of hits and become a bona fide celebrity, even appearing in films. His musical and cinematic activities continued into the 2000s, his iconic status firmly cemented.
