Alice Cooper - School's Out BS 2623 - Green Label First Pressing - White Panties

First Pressing.

Back cover does not have song titles listed.

Later issues include titles on back cover.

The perforated desk legs on the back of the cover are still in tact and have not had the perforations broken (cover folds out into a school desk).

School's Out is the fifth studio album by American rock band Alice Cooper, released in June 1972. Following on from the success of Killer, School's Out reached No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the Canadian RPM 100 Top Albums chart, holding the top position for four weeks. The single "School's Out" reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 3 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles Chart and went to No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart.

The original album cover (designed by Craig Braun) had the sleeve replicating a wooden school desk complete with etchings by members of the band. The desk even opens in the way to reveal the vinyl. Underneath, an image is provided of the other contents of the 'desk' including gum, marbles, crayons and, of course, the track listings and credits. The finishing touch was the legs on the base which could, if wanted, be opened up enabling the desk to stand up! The vinyl record inside was wrapped in a pair of panties (not included in the European versions), though this was later discontinued as the paper panties were found to be flammable. The desk photographed for the album cover is on display in the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas.

While this album was initially released wrapped in a pair of panties, U.S. Customs officials seized nearly 500,000 copies of the album after finding that the panties fell in violation of the Flammable Fabric Act.
