Nights At The Roundtable - Alice Cooper - 1970

Nights At The Roundtable with early Alice Cooper - Return Of The Spiders from Easy Action - their second album for Straight Records - 1970.

Alice Cooper - Wholesome, fun-loving, likes to take walks on the beach . . .or not.

Alice Cooper tonight. Probably one of the great overlooked albums of the 70's. Easy Action was Alice Cooper's second release during their tenure with Frank Zappa's Straight Records, released in March of 1970 (ah yes, 41 years ago . . .I swear!), and because Alice Cooper was still at that undefined stage, it was hard getting them airplay and subsequently this outing didn't fare particularly well in sales or in reviews (Rolling Stone supposedly trashed it). It was also the last album officially put out by Straight before the group landed on Warner Bros where their fortunes changed considerably, as did their direction and production.

Tonight it's Return Of The Spiders, which starts off side 2 of the lp. Still at the experimental stage, but still Alice Cooper.
