An archive chat with Alice Cooper

In 1972, Alice Cooper's 'School's Out' hit No.1 in the UK. To mark the occasion, Johnnie's revisiting an archive chat with Alice.

In 1972, American rocker Alice Cooper hit No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'School's Out'. Since then, the song has become a bit of a summer holidays anthem for school children through the generations. To mark the occasion, Johnnie's revisiting one of his classic chats with Alice, talking about his memories of what became a successful and eventful decade for him.
Also on the show, we're up to entry No.557 for Johnnie's Jukebox. He'll take a look back at This Week In Music with the help of the 成人快手 Archives, and another listener suggests a track they think is Better Than the Original!
