Alice Cooper : Schools Out (Expanded and Remastered) (2003 Edition)


WE CAN'T SATUTE YOU

CAN'T FIND A FLAG

IF THAT DON'T SUIT YA

THAT'S A DRAG



SCHOOL'S OUT

 is the fifth

 studio album 

by American

 rock band

 Alice Cooper 

released in

 June 1972.

Following the success

 of Killer,

 the album 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.

Packaging

The original album cover

 (designed by Craig Braun) 

had the 

sleeve opening

 in the manner of a

 wooden school desk,

 similar to

 Thinks: School Stinks

by Hotlegs, 

released

 two years earlier.

 The band

 members' names

 appear in the 

form of

 graffiti carved

 into the desk. 

The vinyl record inside 

was wrapped in 

a pair of panties, 


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.

Reception

Ian Chapman

 has put forward

 a theory that it was

 a concept album 

about youth lost 

when leaving school.

AllMusic reviewer 

Tim Sendra 

states that 

"half the joy derived 

from listening to 

School's Out 

is to marvel at how 

daringly the band

 took all the goodwill

 they had 

engendered

 to this point 

and blew up

 their

 just-barely-established

 template in fascinating, 

almost reckless ways.
