Can anybody please help me with this...

On the album "Special Forces", a track called "Look At You Over There, Ripping The Sawdust From My Teddy Bear" is listed on the back, but where the hell is it? It is that weird noise at the end of "Vicious Rumours"? See I have the album on vinyl so maybe on CD that is an extra track or something..

On a related note, I doubt anybody would be able to help me with this, but there are about 238476203 different releases of Alice's performance in Toronto 1969, I have the Success release titled "Nobody Likes Me" and I wanna know what year it was released.
 
The album cover was misprinted. "Teddybear" is a demo recorded for Special Forces but not used. You'll find it on the "Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper" box set.

Can't help you with "Nobody Likes Me", but Morticia or Winmar might know :).

If you ever find Alice's 1983 album called "DaDa" (on vinyl most likely, CDs of it are very hard to come by) BUY IT! Downright eerie in spots and funny in others, it's a forgotten masterpiece. Alice and Bob Ezrin were both out of their heads recording this one, and it shows :lol:.

I've seen it heaps on CD at JB Hi-Fi and also a few times on vinyl. I will pick it up! I wanna get every Alice album anyway. So far I have Nobody Likes Me, Alice Cooper Goes To Hell, From The Inside, Special Forces, Raise Your Fist & Yell, Trash, A Brutal Planet, The Definitive Alice Cooper.

I really need to get Billion Dollar Babies, Welcome To My Nightmare, Constrictor and Killer because they rock :)

Just out of curiosity, anybody who has seen Alice Cooper Trashes The World or any other late '80s/early '90s Alice performance... do you prefer the Alice classics performed true to the originals or spiced up with the flashy '80s metal guitar? Personally I prefer the versions with the '80s influence. I mean that could be a bad thing, but I think they still don't lose any of the atmosphere or spirit of the originals anyway, they just rock more.
 
Trash is my favourite Alice album haha. And the songs I've heard from Hey Stoopid are awesome too, I reckon that would definitely make my top 5 when I finally buy it.

My faves are Trash, Welcome To My Nightmare, Billoin Dollar Babies and Raise Your Fist & Yell.
 
Can't help you on the original questions - my back catalogue (as in, pre-Trash) is rather feeble, I'm afraid! I have WTMN, Flush the Fashion, and everything released since Trash (except maybe a best of or two and the box set), but I've gotta start building my collection.

I've not seen any live Alice stuff (except for his concert in 2001!), but I'd imagine I'd prefer it done with an 80s influence. At least if his live audio recordings are anything to go by.
 
Hehehe this thread was from ages ago :) Now that I have Hey Stoopid it is my fave Alice album!

Alice live in the '80s with the shredders was much more energetic and a more exciting show than the more industrial one now :)
 
Bloody hell, that was weird! I'm on my grandad's computer for the first time since I was back over here for his funeral, and the cookie had the June posts being the most recent ones. So I replied to Trent's 7 month old thread!
 
Stupid Sanity.com.au accidentally listed it at $9.95 at one point - so I quickly grabbed a second copy. :)
I paid $100 for it originally, and I doubt it would have come down at all in price.
 
$9.95 - good work!! How much do they sell it for these days? I'll buy it sometime when I've got the money.
