ARTIST - ROSE HILL JUNIOR HIGH MUSIC DEPARTMENT TITLE - IN THE SPOTLIGHT LABEL - NONE CATALOG NO - NONE
RECORD GRADING - EXCELLENT COVER GRADING - VG+
Interesting artifact from a Redmond WA junior high school. The gate fold cover, which is all intact, is custom made with cool art work inside. Looks to be signed by a bunch of different students and the musical director as well. It appears this is sort of "yearbook" for the music department kids. It looks to belong to one of the clarinet players named "Jenny." Fairly high quality pressed vinyl for a private pressing of this nature. The music is also atypical of junior high school kids - it is very well done with some unique arrangements of familiar tunes. The trumpet and sax players on Bridge Over Troubled Waters are outstanding. There are a few vocals, and these are typical of junior high...no new discovery there! Very fun album for collectors of the genre. A web search revealed that three other "Rose Hill Junior High" albums have sold in the past. All recorded at Crow Studios in Seattle WA. This one was pressed in Canada.
thanks for looking.
International bidders- I now mostly ship using e-Bays's International Standard Delivery. It sends the item to a shipping center in the U.S. and they send it off from there. They insure the item up to $100. If you would like to change the shipping preference please let me know. And as always, I do not change values on customs labels. Thank you.
I can combine shipping! Many times it means I can ship up to 3 LP's U.S. for the same cost as one, and possibly more 45's. International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice. Thanks again!!
VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM: (based on Goldmine)
Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus. Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink. Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover. VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear. VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits. VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits. G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed. STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus, but I do not know if there was any factory defects. Hairline scuffs - are light yet visible. You cannot feel them with the skin of your finger. (I cannot fathom feeling it with your fingernail as described in Goldmine...why would you do that?) Scratches you can feel. If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one. I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+. "Age wear" on a cover is either fading or yellowing. "Shelf wear" is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying
