The second Cooper album I purchased, and Alice never surpassed it although he can still produce excellent music and has a brilliant stage show.
The album contains Coopers finest eight minutes in "Halo of Flies" which is an excellent , fun but dark rock epic , including a snatch of the tune to "My Favourite Things" (with new lyrics).
Add the wonderful Desperado, Dead Babies and Killer and you have a classic album.
Even the straight rock and roll of Under My Wheels still sounds fresh after , God, it is, thirty years.
Its on mid price, its one of the best albums of the seventies, it should be in your collection.

Advantages: Two demi-gods of the pop avant-garde flirt outrageously with accessibility Disadvantages: There's still probably too much excellence on display for the mass market. Dammit!
