Bolan on Alice

ALICE COOPER'S next single is likely to feature Marc Bolan, Keith Moon, Harry Nilsson and Rick Grech as session musicians.

Alice was recording in London several weeks ago before the opening of his European tour at Glasgow. And the sessions will probably produce Alice's next single.

Alice flew back into England last weekend after spending a week resting and writing new material in the Canary Isles.

The Cooper band flew straight to the Canaries after their final European tour date in Sweden. The group will be discussing their new album in London this week. The title of the album will be "Million Dollar Babies."

Alice returns to the States in about a week. Tour dates in Japan are being lined up.
