Album Description:
Reissue of the 1969 album Pretties for You which was the first album by Alice Cooper. At this time, the name Alice Cooper referred to the band as well as its lead singer. The music has a psychedelic flavor to it. The group had yet to develop the more concise hard rock sound that they would become known for. The song 'Reflected', Alice Cooper's first single, was later rewritten as 'Elected' (which featured on their 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies).

- The cover got me.
On the first listen this record spoke to me. It was also a life saver thru high school. Like my short attention span it was all over the place. I loved/confused words with their sound and meanings. It fit with my ambiguity about everything. A listen again takes me right back. .

- ALICE COOPER MAKES WAX; SPELLS POP BACKWARDS
If I had found this album years ago, I probably would have dismissied it pretty quickly. One usually expects a certain sound from The Alice Cooper band; and that type of sound isn't found on Pretties For You. Pretties is the Alice Cooper Band rolling through their psychedelic sixties, punk-faced, Beatle induced numbers, with just a little hint at their attention to macarbe details, and more focus instead on their attention to ironic word play, and just messin you up. It seems that the band hadn't gotten into hard edged guitar riffs yet, and these songs become a collection of demented sixties pop- that I'm sure would have been beyond me years ago, when I started getting into Alice Cooper. I'm glad that I waited a few years before picking up the original Alice Cooper release(s). Because I instantly found myself digging this. Alice Cooper is more in the camp of tripped out metal pioneers, like Arthur Brown or Spooky ... Read More

No need to get long-winded and describe this album-it is one of the Greatest albums of all-time. This album helped me get through High School.

- A strange case of Alice Cooper
If you like funny album covers and bizarre song titles, you will love this album! Who, but the most humorless of peoples, could not love such song titles as Earwigs To Eternity, Sing Low Sweet Cheerio, 10 Minutes Before The Worm and No Longer Umpire? And I adore the cover, which has a grumpy looking business man sneering at a young lady who is showing him her panties.

It's the songs and the production that I have a problem with and make it so I can't honestly or dishonestly recommend the album to anybody but die-hard Alice Cooper fans, even though I don't hate the album. The song structures are beyond bizarre, the guitar playing and occasionally the drumming is (are) sloppy, the production is a mess. Occasionally a vocal line or a guitar riff worth humming or singing along with shows up, and at times there are glimpses of the greatness that was to come in a few albums. Alice hadn't developed his trademark ... Read More
