25th July, 1989 - 30 years ago today, 'Trash', the 11th solo album by Alice and the 18th album overall, was released
It reached #2 on the UK album chart, helped by the lead single (which also reached #2 on the singles chart)
This was Alice's most successful commercial album. He had moved from the MCA label to Epic, and brought in producer and song writer Desmond Child. This was an album specifically designed to hit the top of the charts, and boy - did it succeed! Unfortunately during this upgrade, something was lost from the mix, and that 'something' was the Alice Cooper that long standing fans wanted. There is little of the humour or horror material that the older fans loved
