Easy Action is the second studio album by the American rock band Alice Cooper, released by Straight Records in March 1970. As with Pretties for You, the band's debut from the previous year, Easy Action was neither a commercial nor critical success. Singles include "Shoe Salesman" and "Return of the Spiders".

The second Alice Cooper Group album is again, non-essential but it's another that I really like. There are some great tunes on there and, like 'Reflected' on 'Pretties For You', there is an early tip of the hat to a later track in 'Still No Air' elements of which would resurface in 'Gutter Cat vs The Jets' on the classic 1972 'School's Out album'.

The best of the best from the Alice Cooper group. Considering that the ACG never did a bad song, choosing the tracks for this album must have been a challenge. Bob Ezrin did some remixing on some of the earlier tracks from Killer bringing Alice's voice more to the forefront than the original recordings. The album cover was the first one that was not a gatefold or other gimic with the exception of the Australian '74 release nd features a sepia-toned Drew Struzan illustration of the band members in front of a 1930s garage

Easy Action is often regarded as the middle child of Alice Cooper’s early years. The 1970 sophomore album is more palatable than 1969’s Pretties For You, yet void of the gargantuan insta-hits mixed by Bob Ezrin on 1971’s Love It To Death. But three of these nine tunes reveal Alice Cooper finding his voice. Some songs even sound like blueprints for Love It To Death, like the first cut Mr. And Misdemeanor which reveals Alice experimenting with the signature snarl that overtook his later inflections.
