Just a trip-down-memory-lane question for y'all. What was your first tape/cd you remember getting that had the dreaded:

on the cover?

I believe mine was Suicidal Tendencies-"Lights,Camera,Revolution".

WMAangel

Hmmm, good question, I'm going to go with APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION!

My Other Self

That had a Parental Advisory sticker on it? Hmm.

I think mine was the Rush Hour soundtrack in 1998. That was one of the first CDs I ever bought. A lot of my earlier rap cassettes didn't have the warning.

Mondo Kane

Can't be sure, but I think it had a different looking warning-logo than the one that's commonly used now.
I distinctly remember Digital Underground's "Sex Packets" also had a different sticker on it before the one we all know today became the norm.

Probably Korn's 'Follow the Leader" in 98

I know Wikipedia obviously cannot be trusted 100% (unless you are Michael Scott), but according to the Parental Advisory article there, AFD was one of the first albums to receive the label, along with Soundgarden's "Louder Than Love" (another one I own, but I bought it after AFD), Danzing's self titled debut, and "As Nasty As They Wanna Be" by the 2 Live Crew.....

when i bought apitite, it didn't have the sticker (i have seen it in stores witht the sticker), it was the explicit version but it didn't have the infamous picture in the insert

My Other Self

Very interesting. I didn't know that. I never saw it with the sticker, which is why I was curious.

I think mine was Warrant - Cherry Pie. I know I had to have my mom buy it for me, who was standing right there so it seemed kind of pointless for them to refuse me. I think I was 15. Too bad I didn't realize how shitty it was and save my money.

Dr. Dre - 2001

The copy I have (which I bought used last year) has no sticker, is explicit, and includes the picture in the insert.

The only thing with it is it has a "price check" sticker on it which leads me to believe it was a "budget" CD.

Blu Man

I've never payed attention to those stickers.

Jason

Probably "The Last Command"

bigjim25

I think it was Madonna's "Erotica". My Appetite CD doesn't have the sticker.

scarredgod

bingo, mine too. WASP - The Last Command.

that was at least a year before AFD too.

Jason

According to my faulty memory, they used to be an actual sticker on the wrapper. I think the 2 Live Crew were the first to say "fuck it" and just print it right on the album artwork.

when i was in jr high my mom would only buy me the clean versions of gangsta rap. then i became friends with a kid whos mom who let him have the uncensored versions. a piece of tape later and i had the naughty version recorded over my clean one.

Rocketdog2000

Fuck if I remember, since I was buying albums long before they even started using those stickers. By the time they did come around, for one, I was already old enough for it not to matter, and for two, I didn't care anyway.

Wrathchild America - Climbin' the Walls

I opted to buy this myself and not put it on my Christmas list because of the Parental Advisory label (on the back). Anthrax's "Among the Living" and "State of Euphoria" as well as Metallica's "Garage Days Re-revised" did not have this so they went on the list.
