This is a bootleg recording of a 1969 show in Toronto. This collection is available under many, many different names including, Science Fiction, Freak Out, Freak Out Song, Painting a Picture, etc., all of which are available from Amazon. The last two songs "Going to the River" and "Ain't That Just Like A Woman" ARE NOT Alice Cooper songs, nor are they performed by Alice Cooper. (You can confirm that with Alice's assistent, Brian "Renfield" Nelson.)

This is a very poor album. Save your money.

Recorded way back in 1969 at the "Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival" concert (which also featured CHICAGO), this CD has been published under many names.

Much has been said in other reviews about this CD; I would just like to add 3 comments: 1) track 2 was recorded under the name "No Longer Umpire" on the "Pretties For You" album; 2) this CD is a picture disc; 3) treat this as a slice of history, and not for the casual Cooper fan.

A very old album with low quality sound. Tracks one and six are by a different band who used the same recording area. The song Painting a picture is on Pretties for you under a different name. A version of this is essential for all Alice Cooper collectors.This is a recording made in 1969. It has loads of different names; Snorting anthrax, freak out, science fiction, nobody likes me, nobody likes alice cooper live, ladies man, toronto rock revival '69. All versions have eight tracks apart from Nobody likes Alice Cooper live, which has a medley as a ninth track.

Despite the fact that the sound quality is low and the last two tracks aren't even Alice Cooper, I like this album. Early Alice Cooper was very different from what they became, and while the material featured here is not upon first listening going to grab you, give it time. If you already know and love the entire "Pretties For You" album, the Alice material on this disc is essential. While the music on "Snorting Anthrax" isn't up to 'Fields Of Regret', it is certainly right up there. Very interesting cd.

I am such an Alice Cooper fan I buy anything with his name on it. What is sad is I already had Freak Out and still bought this album which is the exact same thing. This album is some early Cooper tracks recorded in 1969 but two of the better songs Ain't That Just Like A Woman and Goin To The River are not Alice!!! They are some unknown band who performed with the ACGroup that night in Toronto. This album keeps poping up in different forms but as great as Alice is, unless you are like me and wants everything that says Alice Cooper, avoid this.

I baught this album yesterday. it was in discount. when I first listened I was shocked. it sounds like Doors.I liked only Nobody likes me very early recordings.
