ALICE COOPER

Flush The Fashion (Encore)

$12.98 CD

Alice Cooper rang in a new decade with 1980's FLUSH THE FASHION, his highest-charting album since 1977's classic LP Lace And Whiskey. FLUSH THE FASHION was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, best known for his hit-making work with The Cars and Queen. It marked a stylistic departure into a less gritty, more new wave rock sound for Cooper, and delivered the Billboard Top 40 single “Clones (We're All).” The song - later covered by the Smashing Pumpkins - wrapped Cooper's shock rocker legacy around a future shock chiller for one of the artist's most powerful tracks of the '80s. Other highlights include “Grim Facts” and the album opener “Talk Talk” - to which we say, “Encore Encore!”
