According to a post at
SickthingsUK, it is rumoured that
ALICE COOPER has left
Spitfire Records/
Eagle Rock, at least in the USA. This is based on information from a source at
Eagle Rock posted to the
ST mailing list. Contrary to something said on another board he was NOT dropped by
Spitfire, but has simply moved on to new pastures. No news about where he's moved to, or how this effects other territories, but the album, which is complete (according to
Alice), is still on schedule to be released on time this summer (June has long been suggested in interviews/press). The CD, entitled
"Dirty Diamonds", which is said to be a continuation of the more organic approach found on
Cooper's last effort,
"The Eyes of Alice Cooper", was overseen by
Steve Lindsey, who co-produced
Cooper's 2004 duet with rapper
XZIBIT,
"Stand" (off the official Olympics Games album,
"Unity") and has worked with
Elton John,
Luther Vandross and
Leonard Cohen.
