Alice Cooper Group: "Reflected" Single (1969)

Alice Cooper Group’s "Reflected" backed with "Living", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the US by Straight Records (catalog number STS-1051) on June 12, 1969.

Both tracks were taken from their upcoming debut album, Pretties for You. Written by all five band members—Alice Cooper, Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith—Reflected critiques the false allure of Hollywood glitz with what Cooper later called “stupid” and “fake, quasi-spiritual 60s” lyrics. The song’s riff and melody were later reworked for Elected on the 1973 album 、Billion Dollar Babies. Performed during a party scene in the 1970 film Diary of a Mad Housewife, the single was noted in a 1969 Billboard review for its raw, psychedelic edge, marking the band’s early experimental phase. It did not chart in the US.
