ALICE COOPER

"HELLO HURRAY"/"GENERATION LANDSLIDE"

HELLO HURRAY!! A new Alice Cooper single!!! A monster!! The untouchable Alice Cooper follows his last two chart-smashing singles, "School's Out" and "Elected" with another unbeatable performance. It's a monumental song called "HELLO HURRAY" written many years ago by Rolf Kempf. Its original conception may have been slightly folkier! but it adapts perfectly to Alice's deep throated rock version though it's slower than his other singles the overwhelming power of his delivery makes this a strong contender for record of the year after only one month!

It comes from Alice's next album "BILLION DOLLAR BABIES". The album was recorded at the Cooper Estate in Connecticut, both before and after his record-breaking Autumn tour of Europe, that devasted well over a hundred thousand innocent souls. He can't unfortunately be back till the early summer, but he won't be relaxing.

For a solid three months he tours the entire United States, east and west coasts, mid-west, mid-south and North America, climaxing in a concert at New York's Madison Square Gardens on June 3rd. In all, 56 venues will be covered and 800,000 people will see Alice in a tour of unprecedented dimensions. It promises to be a brilliant stage production too, and with this single, his album and all things weighed up and considered....Alice is going to be an even bigger success in 173 than last year and he was 1972's biggest thing. The polls in Britain's music press have indicated that he is far and away the world's top rock act.
