Overview

This Melody Maker‑style advert from May 8 1972 promotes

Alice Cooper’s new 4‑track 12″ single, issued exclusively for the British market. The design is bold and monochrome, dominated by Cooper’s name in oversized lettering and a live performance photograph that captures his theatrical stage presence — microphone raised, eyes wild, and costume glittering under the lights.


The release features live versions of “Under My Wheels,” “Model Citizen,” and “Who Do You Think We Are,” showcasing the band’s raw energy and shock‑rock charisma during their early‑’70s peak.
