Frank Zappa spotted the Alice Cooper Group and funded this their first album in November 1968. It is an interesting album and contains many dark numbers which hinted at what was to come. Indeed Alices former mentor supported Alice Cooper many years later as the Prodigy eclipsed the Masters work.
The album cover uses a paininting by Ed Bearsley which has got nothing to do with either the band or what appears on the record but is more apparent to Frank Zappa strange train of though.
Zappa only appeared briefly in the recording studio to help out on some of the tracks due to prior commitments.
1. Titanic Overture (An Epic Masterpiece as listenable today as when it was first produced) 2. 10 Minutes Before The Worm (Darkly Humourous) 3. Sing Low Sweet Cherio (Fun Rock Number) 4. Today Mueller (About A Friend of The Bands Called Tootie, the lyrics got changed from Tootie to Today) 5. Living 6. Fields Of Regret 7. No Longer Umpire 8. Levity Ball (Live At Cheetah, very listenable with psychadelic undertones, interesting track) 9. B.B On Mars (About A B.B Pellet On Mars And Not A Person) 10. Reflected (Later Reworked Into Elected) 11. Apple Bush 12. Earwigs To Eternity 13. Changing Arranging
