School's Out

Hey Kids! What a great way to kick off the summer... Alice Cooper- Schools Out... remastered on 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl! Friday Music is very proud to announce this 1972 classic release as part of our extensive Alice Cooper 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Series. Originally produced by Bob Ezrin, this multi-platinum effort forever etched the word superstar to Alice Cooper, as this legacy recording has truly stood the test of time. Aside from the smash title track, the album contained equally strong album tracks like Public Animal #9....My Stars and Alma Mater. This major release has also been one of the most influential hard rock recordings of its time, as well as being one of the biggest albums of Coopers amazing career. Remastered impeccably from the original Warner Bros. vault tapes by Joe Reagoso (David Lee Roth, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy), this stunning album now has the most thrilling sound ever, complete with a very sharp gatefold cover with the original art elements, and poly sleeve to protect your investment. Celebrate the news!

Alice Cooper used to claim he wrote entire albums worth of lyrics in an afternoon with the TV on. True or not, whatever led to moments of ultraclarity such as "We got no class / And we got no principles / And we got no innocence / We can't even think of a word that rhymes" should be bottled and force-fed to Marilyn Manson. School's Out (1972) is where Cooper's show-biz tendencies first fully flowered--"Gutter Cat Versus the Jets" more than nods to West Side Story and "Grande Finale" sounds like the band was trying to ace Elmer Bernstein out of a gig--but it also rocks hard, and most of the ambition-laden stuff (especially the epic "My Stars") really does work. Nasty and grande as they wanted to be. --Rickey Wright
