Pretties for You (1969) Easy Action (1970)

Pretties for You was the debut album by Alice Cooper. At this time, the name Alice Cooper referred to the band, not its lead singer. The music has a psychedelic flavor to it. The group had yet to develop the more concise hard rock sound that they would become known for.

The song "Reflected", Alice Cooper's first single, was later rewritten as "Elected" (which featured on their 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies).

The artwork for this album was hanging on the wall of the living room in Frank Zappa's house.[1] The original painting was done by Ed Beardsley [2]
