The book Revolutions in Sound: Warner Bros. Records The First Fifty Years has a great photo of a female production employee putting the panties on the School's Out records.

This thread is useless without pictures!

It took a while to find the book, and now I can't figure out how to post the photo here.

Generally we don't post photos here, but it IS possible to do by clicking the "insert image" button (9th from the left) and then putting the url of the image into the code. Or you can just type it in the following format:

Code: Select all

[img]https://the.addrress.of.the.image.png[/img]
Please, please if you do use this function make sure the images aren't huge, as it could mess up the whole page in some browsers. If it needs to be big (to read text or something for example) then please just link to it.
Thanks

You have the last "/" in the wrong place, and that URL doesn't link to an image anyway so that won't work

It seems images can only be up to a set size anyway so no danger of massive images.

It’s funny about the paper panties in the 70s. I was telling my best friend about how the School’s Out album had paper panties wrapped around the vinyl disc.
I guess he wasn’t listening to well.
He later told a guy, a macho tough guy at school, who expected guys to be men, that I referred to the paper sleeve around the discs as “Panties”.
I said, “You didn’t?” “I didn’t say all vinyl discs; only the School’s Out album as an androgynous joke gimmick. Now this tough guy is going to give me a ration of s…!” My friend said, “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you”.
Yes, you did.

Yes, you did.
That gave you a small indication of the attacks we dealt with.

It worked out ok in the end. I converted the tough guy to Alice Cooper. He ended up buying all your albums. He told me he would crank up, “I’m 18” on his stereo while he was working out. He said the song gave him so much energy that he could bench press like crazy! :rock:

I guess we could all press more weight if we could convince ourselves that we're 18 again. Glad to hear that you got him to listen.
