Alice Cooper: Pretties for You

Lester Bangs, Rolling Stone, 12 July 1969

ALICE COOPER IS A West Coast Zappa-sponsored group: two guitars, bass, drums and a vocalist who doubles on harmonica. Echoes of 1967 psychedelia in the oscillators and distorted guitars. Showing here the influence of the Mothers, here the first-wave San Francisco sound, there and almost everywhere the Beatles.
