Sister ~ Sonic Youth
Sister is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released in June 1987 on SST Records. The album continued the band's move away from the no wave movement towards more traditional alternative rock song structures, while maintaining an experimental approach.
Like Sonic Youth's previous albums, Sister was not successful at the time of its release. In the years following its release, however, it has received critical acclaim, with several publications naming it as one of the best albums of the decade.
The artwork of the original front cover contained a photograph of 12-year-old Sandra Bennett, taken by Richard Avedon on August 23, 1980, but it was censored for later releases after a threat of a copyright lawsuit. At first the picture was merely covered up with a black sticker, but on later pressings the photo was totally removed, only showing a black area. Similarly, a photo of Disney's Magic Kingdom on the back cover was later obscured by a Universal Product Code. Very early promotional posters and pressings of the album did feature these photos, but later ones did not.
A unique feature of the packaging is that the band is called "The Sonic Youth" rather than "Sonic Youth" on the cover.
