''Easy Action'' is the second studio album by Alice Cooper's band, released by Straight Records in March 1970. The title comes from a line in the musical film ''West Side Story'', which was one of the band's favorite films. As with ''Pretties for You'', the band's debut from the previous year, ''Easy Action'' was neither a commercial nor critical success. Drummer Neal Smith later said of the record producer David Briggs, "David hated our music and us. I recall the term that he used, referring to our music, was 'Psychedelic Shit'. I think ''Easy Action'' sounded too dry, more like a TV or radio commercial and he did not help with song arrangement or positive input in any way." (). None of ''Easy Action''’s songs have ever been performed live by Cooper since the tour in support of their third album ''Love It to Death'';〔(Alice Cooper Tour Archive )〕 in fact, only "Return of the Spiders" was performed on the tour for that album. A small number of early U.S. copies were pressed on the blue Bizarre Records label. These copies carry the same catalog number WS-1845 and album cover as the regular Straight Records release. Though perhaps seen as being a looked over work in terms of later releases, ''Easy Action'' tracks "Mr. & Misdemeanor" and "Refrigerator Heaven" were both later included in the well-received compilation album ''The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper''. ==Track listing== All songs written by Alice Cooper, Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith. #"Mr. & Misdemeanor" – 3:05 #"Shoe Salesman" – 2:38 #"Still No Air" – 2:32 #"Below Your Means" – 6:41 #"Return of the Spiders" – 4:33 #"Laughing at Me" – 2:12 #"Refrigerator Heaven" – 1:54 #"Beautiful Flyaway" – 3:02 #"Lay Down and Die, Goodbye" – 7:36 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Easy Action」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
