Alice Cooper channels the spirit of West Side Story in this b-side to the mighty 'School's Out'. How well I recall rushing out to purchase said single in the summer of '72 as we anticipated finishing primary school for good and looked forward to another long hot summer before the shadow of secondary school fell upon us. As an already dedicated fan of the original film of West Side Story, which remains the finest celluloid version of any stage musical, I was thrilled to find 'Gutter Cat' embracing Jets Vs. Sharks imagery and nodding to Leonard Bernstein's classic score. Yes, some of us were certainly crazy mixed up kids, Officer Krupke! Issued on the lovely olive green Warner Bros. label.
