Artist: Cooper, Alice
Label: Warner Bros. Records
Release: 1989
What is there to say about this The Beast Of Alice Cooper compilation? Not much, really, except that it packs fourteen first-rate classic Cooper tracks from the seventies, and, above all, that it was put out by his seventies label Warner Bros., who wanted to cash in on the success of his then-current album Trash. That didn’t exactly work out for them, since in 1989 absolutely everything not called Trash was totally overshadowed.
This is already the second compilation Warner Bros. released (the first was Greatest Hits from 1974), and it’s a lot better than that one since it covers Cooper’s entire Warner Bros. era. The comp has all of Cooper’s greatest hits (though you could easily toss in a few more) and it’s a truly great compilation with the right pick of tracks, perfect for anyone who wants to swap a dozen Cooper albums in their collection for just one.
