1978, vinyl
Richard Wagner
Released in '78 along with Early Frost this vinyl sounds more
from '78. Title "Richard Wagner" Dick mentions in his bio
"Not Only Women Bleed" that some record stores use to place
his albums in the classical music section under composer Richard Wagner.
Quite a number
of people credited on this album came from Alice's solo tours.
There
are more musicians but I just noted the Alice related artist. Produced
by Bob Ezrin
and Brian Christian who both produced Steve Hunter's album
too. Musicians that played
with Alice goes as followed Drums by Whitey
Glan and Allan Schwartzberg, bass by Prakish
John, guitar by Richard
Wagner and Steve Hunter, keyboards by Bob Ezrin and Fred Mandel.
Alice
didn't contribute any lyric or vocals but Wagner gives special thanks
to Alice Cooper on
the inside credit sleeve.
By no means is this album sounding like
an Alice Cooper album but it's lyrics and musical
arrangements are different from Early Frost. Wagner's vocals are stronger.
Also Richard does some guitar
solos that show his gift as an axeman.
"Don't Stop the Music" is one of my favorite tracks.
Another used album for .99¢
