The recording made at the Toronto Rock N Roll Revival in 1969 may be the most widely reproduced Alice Cooper live recording. It has been released by many different labels under many titles and many album covers. These releases are not authorized Alice Cooper albums. However, they are not bootlegs as the recording is owned by a private party. Unfortunately, the private party was so uncaring in the production of these releases that two of the songs ("Ain't That Just Like a Woman" and "Goin' to the River") are NOT Alice Cooper at all (the actual performer is Ronnie Hawkins and they were recorded Hallmark Studios in Toronto in late 1964). Also, almost all of the song titles on the album were fabricated by the private party. The actual titles (shown here in parentheses) are mostly live versions of songs from "Pretties For You".

Renfield (September 1996): The rights to the recording were sold by Alice's management at the time of the recording to a third party. That party has licensed out the rights to the recording many times to various companies. Alice does not make a penny from it. My theory is that the two non-Alice songs somehow wound up on the original master tape. The distributors not knowing and not particularly caring, put the album out of the tape as is. When the album was pressed again later by other companies, they didn't bother to check if all the songs were Alice or not. They would have no particular reason to.

1. Ain`t That Just Like A Woman (not Alice)
2. Painting A Picture (No Longer Umpire)
3. An Instrumental (part of "Lay Down and Die, Goodbye")
4. I`ve Written Home To Mother (part of "Lay Down and Die, Goodbye")
5. Freak Out Song ('Don't Blow Your Mind' with different lyrics)
6. Going To The River (not Alice)
7. Nobody Likes Me (aka Freak Out)
8. Science Fiction (Fields Of Regret)

For what it's worth, Shep Gordon once told me that as far as he could recollect those two songs were performed by Ronnie Hawkins.
