Sleeping Beauty is the fifth album by the comedy duo Cheech & Chong. It was released in 1976 on vinyl LP, 8-track, and cassette.[1] It went out of print in 1978 except for a CD release in 1991 and a digitally remastered CD in 2005.[1]
Cover
The album cover and title refer to the once-popular drug secobarbital, a barbiturate derivative commonly known as "reds".[2] Used for epilepsy and insomnia, the drug was widely abused in the 1960s and 1970s.[2] The original LP album cover folded out into a giant red capsule,[1] bearing a pharmaceutical code resembling that of secobarbital pills of the 1970s. The inner sleeve featured a photo of a "red" placed on a person's tongue;[1] this image was used as the cover art for the remastered CD.[3] Many other references to "reds" have been made on Cheech & Chong's albums and in their films.
