The Parental Advisory Sticker was created by the Recording Industry Association of America after pressure from the Parental Music Resource Centre (PMRC)- lead by the likes of Tipper Gore. Hence, it’s nickname the Tipper Sticker. It came about in about 1985. It actually came about after Prince’s song Darling Nikki and after the PMRC started their quest to deny free speech, they used three albums as examples:
Def Leppard- Pyromania
Wendy O. Williams- W.O.W
W.A.S.P – F*ck Like A Beast
They also used videos by Van Halen (Hot For Teacher) and Twisted Sister (We’re Not Gonna Take It) for their arguments.
Tracking down the first is tough though as stickers were used at the sellers discretion at the start. The ‘Filthy Fifteen’ as the PMRC put it were Prince, Sheena Eastod, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Vanity, ACDC, Ozzy Osbourne, WASP, Madonna, Def Leppard, Mercuful Fate, Black Sabbath, Mary Jane Girls, Venom and Cyndi Lauper. Could have been one of those- sorry I can’t help more
