Working out the kinks on a long, long trip

In the days of the long-playing record album —12-inch discs of vinyl introduced in 1948 and in decline since the 1980s — all sorts of goodies came with the music.

The 1969 Jethro Tull LP “Stand Up” had cardboard pop-up figures of the band, like a kid’s book. Alice Cooper’s 1972 classic “School’s Out” — ‘we can’t even think of a word that rhymes’ — came with a pair of girl’s panties as the album sleeve.

Today, you can get a movie with your music, like the one from Ray Davies, founding genius of The Kinks, on his recent “Working Man’s Café” CD.
