"No More Looking Back" Released: 23 January 1976 (UK)
Schoolboys in Disgrace, or The Kinks Present Schoolboys in Disgrace, is a 1975 concept album by the Kinks. Their 15th studio album, it was considered by critics to be the last album in what they dubbed the group's "theatrical" period, and their final release for RCA Records. The album is rooted in 1950s rock and roll,[2] and also includes elements of hard rock, '50s pop and doo-wop,[3] and arena rock.[4]
The front cover was illustrated by London artist and illustrator, Colin 'Mickey' Finn (not of T. Rex), who also created the two removal men characters used in the Dire Straits video "Money for Nothing". It later appeared on NME's list of the '50 worst covers of all time'.[5]
In 1978 the Finnish band Kontra had a number one hit with the song "Jerry Cotton" which was a cover version of the song "Jack the Idiot Dunce."[6]
