    This was my Mom's "Angry album." Back in the mid 1970s, when she got pissed off at the world, she would crank this album up on her Fisher stereo system, and it was a good idea to leave her alone! Thanks Coop for keeping my Mom from killing us!

      We had a Montgomery Wards Airline record player/8-track/radio combo that we would turn into a “synthesizer” by plugging the earphone jack into the microphone jack with a guitar cord.
      We were quite cutting edge::….

    This is his second album. This lineup is in my opinion the best, pure rock and roll band ever. Killer bass player. Guitarists were so creative. Tasty fills. Raw power leads. The drummer was a bad ass. They were powerful, raw, and took no prisoners.

    If you ever get the chance as remote as it is, this album was also recorded in quadrofonic(8 track only) and at :36 seconds the synthesizer bounces all around the room, if the four speakers are put in each of the four corners of a typical room. The best. Still if listening in stereo set up the speakers on either side of the room facing each other, then sit between them. It is an awesome effect.

      I had one of those 4 channel 8 track and a quad amp to go with it, loved to have the one guitar start in one corner then across the room for the 2nd one, drums & organ kicked in about then. My friends & I loved to hear this at max volume, my parents never even bitched about it I think they liked the Coop also.

    To all of your questions
    If you've got the money
    To pay me in gold
    I will be living
    In old Monte Carlo
    And you will be reading
    The secrets of soul
    Daggers and contacts
    And bright shiny limos
    I've got a watch
    That turns into a lifeboat
    Glimmering nightgowns
    Poisonous as cobras
    Silencer under the heel of my shoe
    The elegance of China
    They sent her to lie here on her back
    But as she deeply moves me
    She'd rather shoot me in my tracks
    And while a Malaysian lady
    She really came as no surprise
    But I still did destroy her
    And I will smash
    Halo of flies
    I crossed the ocean
    Where no one could see
    And I put a time-bomb
    In your submarine
    Goodbye to old friends
    The secret's in hand
    With phonied up papers
    And counterfeit plans
    You never will understand
