Description
TITLE : Unknown SHOOL CHOIR - music LP
LABEL / CAT # : TAM TTS7904
COUNTRY / YEAR OF RELEASE : UK / 1979
DESCRIPTION : Completely UNKNOWN & 'un-google-able' UK PRIVATE PRESS album made by talented kids at a London school?
I've never, ever seen another copy anywhere, and no-one even seems aware of this extremely rare album
(which would have pressed in tiny numbers, just for the school kids and parents and clearly never intended for sale).
Contains a varied range of songs and a wonderfully designed, Hand SCREENPRINTED picture sleeve! (see close-up image)
Includes an amazing original song entitled 'Remember Mount Zion' which has a distinct reggae-groove, deep bass sounds and haunting vocals.
There's another reggae track (a cover of 'money in my pocket') + versions of 'walk on by', ELTON JOHN'S 'song for guy',
'Ruby Tuesday' & more.... (some typical school choir songs & a few 'standards')
Also, there is a mind-blowing, lo-fi version of FUNKADELIC'S 'one nation under a groove'....with heartfelt, funky naive singing throughout!!
Have a listen to the first few minutes of both tracks above! (soundclips taken from actual record for sale)
Remember that this is an amateur school band so recording levels & sound quality is pretty low, but surely this is one of the UK's rarest Private LP's!?
...ORIGINAL UK-ONLY PRESSING
CONDITION : **Please Read Carefully Before Bidding**
Vinyl: On the whole it grades around VG/VG-, with numerous light scuffs and a few scratches causing a few crackles (listen above)
...however, there is a deeper feelable scuff on 'ruby tuesday' (which is a weaker track, with wobbly high-pitched singing anyway!), that causes clicks
and is likely to skip depending on how heavy your cartridge is. All other tracks play through fine with a little crackle.
In HAND SCREENPRINTED picture sleeve: VG (minor edge wear and a bit of creasing
+ Small 3cm tear midway on opening edge, which has been neatly taped on the INSIDE of the cover (see attached image)
