ALICE COOPER's Mom Has The Original 'School's Out' Panties
August 2, 2012, 11 years ago
PhoenixNewTimes' Glenn BurnSilver recently spoke with ALICE COOPER about the 40th anniversary of his signature ode to teenage rebellion, 'School's Out'.
The School's Out original vinyl release featured not only a cover that opened like a school desk, but an album wrapped in a pair of girls panties. An addition that Cooper, who notes three band members studied art at school, says was as obvious in application as it was promotion.
"They were probably your sister's, but it looked like you got lucky, like you went all the way, which was probably a lie. But the idea of the paper panties was for the big bravado of producing the panty. We only did it on the first 100,000 copies. Everybody who has those now, those are like real collector's items."
But Cooper says he never even saved a pair to call his own.
"I'm not a collector at all. I give all my stuff away. My mom collects stuff. She has a really incredible collection of my stuff. She has the original panties."Read more at this location.
