eleased in 1980, Talk Talk emerged from Cooper’s early‑’80s pivot into wiry, minimalist new‑wave energy — a transitional moment between the theatrical excess of the ’70s and the clipped, militaristic bite that would define Special Forces . The single captures the era’s dry humour, jagged rhythms, and stripped‑back production, offering a snapshot of Cooper experimenting restlessly as he moved into one of the most unpredictable phases of his career. Alice Cooper’s "Talk Talk"

In the spring of 1980, Alice Cooper shocked fans and critics alike with a radical new wave reinvention. After years of horror theatrics and hard rock, he emerged with a sleek, angular, synth-tinged sound that embraced the rising new wave movement. Released on 28 April 1980 by Warner Bros. Records, Flush the Fashion marked one of the most drastic stylistic shifts of Alice Cooper’s career. 🔘 Release Details Label: Warner Bros. Records Catalogue Number: BSK 3436 Country: USA Re
