DADA
Original

WPCP-3500 - Made in Japan - 1990's?
Warner Bros. Records
I bought this one second hand locally - accidentally it was a japanese
version.
There's a personal story to it, if you choose to read on...
This was the third Alice Cooper CD I bought. After having the "Trash"
album laying on the CD-shelf
for half a year or so, before finally putting it on the CD-player, listening
to it while putting together
Mini Club Denmarks members issue, I grew very found of "Only My
Heart Talkin'".
At that time the only two Alice Cooper songs I knew were "Poison"
and "Bed Of Nails"
which in the first place were the reason why I coincidently bought it
new (on sale).
I thing it must have been somewhere in 1997 or 1998 I got curious to
hear some more Alice Cooper.
I visited the local second hand store (in my lunch break) and found
"School's Out".
My colleague knew my mission and asked if it was "School's Out"
I had bought... how could he guess?
"Everybody knows School's Out" he said... we played it, but
embarrasingly enough I didn't...
I heard the album at home, noticed the year 1972 and figured the reason
why it sounded a little
different from the "Trash" album. A couple of days later I
found another used Alice Cooper CD...
the DaDa album!
When I listened to the DaDa album I honestly concidered, that there
had to be two different artists named Alice Cooper!!! The name ain't
that odd... the surname Cooper was quite familiar to me from my belowed
car, the Mini (which I have been driven for 20 years now).
But what was the chances of two artists named Alice Cooper and both
being males?
Could this be the same artist?
In kind of way it was Alice's DaDa that got me really hooked... afterwards
I found myself vacuumcleaning Denmarks second largest city for Alice
Cooper CD's.
In 1999 I bought the 4CD Box-set "The Life and Crimes of Alice
Cooper" and started to catch up
on what I had missed in all those years... I didn't see... didn't hear...
didn't notice... The Coop.
