School's Out, the fifth album from the Alice Cooper band, hit the streets in June 1972 on Warner Bros. with Bob Ezrin producing, and it came roaring in on the success of Killer. This is the original Phoenix gang at full strength: Alice Cooper leering and hollering up front, Glen Buxton on lead guitar, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar and keys, Dennis Dunaway on bass and Neal Smith on drums, the shock-rock traveling circus with the tunes to back up the theater.
The title track is the whole story in one blast, a sneering, snotty anthem that went to number one in Britain and number 7 in the States. The album rode it to number 2 on the Billboard 200 and four weeks on top in Canada, and the next year Billion Dollar Babies would carry them to the top on both sides of the Atlantic.
