(Record Mirror, 1972-11-00)
It's been a long time since fans wrecked three rows of seats at Green's Playhouse in Glasgow, but they did on Friday when Alice Cooper took his show to the Highlands.

'Alice Cooper is dead' hoax
(Record Mirror, 1973-03-24)
The great Alice Cooper mystery - was he killed by an accident with the guillotine which forms the climax of his current mammoth American show or did he die in a car crash? - was solved this week when his record company announced that it was all a hoax, and Alice was indeed alive and well.

Welcome To My Nightmare Review
(Record Mirror, 1975-03-29)
