Revue de la semaine

On May 13, 1985, the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) held a meeting in a Washington church where they fomented support for their agenda: a ratings system for albums and concerts like those used for movies, and also to keep offensive album covers out of view in record stores. Their efforts lead to warning stickers on albums with offensive lyrics. The stickers succeed in keeping laws off the books regulating the music, but many stores, including Sears, J.C. Penney and WalMart, refuse to carry albums with the stickers. It becomes common practice for labels to release "clean" and "dirty" versions of albums, and also a marketing tactic: 2 Live Crew issue their As Nasty As They Wanna Be album in edited form as As Clean As They Wanna Be - most buyers opt for the nasty. In the digital age, there are no stickers but albums and tracks are clearly labelled as "explicit" on services like iTunes and Spotify. Le 13 mai 1985, le Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC)
