Description
I AM NOT a professional record grader by any means, but I can say I can see some scuffs and light marks on this LP...nothing I can feel, though. The cover is not in good shape. The cover is basically in two pieces, being barely held together by a section at the bottom.
There is some writing on the cover and one of the record labels, both show in photos.
Titled The "Best Of The Blues", The Golden Blues of The Choate School. This includes two fairly big names, Ian Underwood, and Steve Swallow. This is from their school days likely late 50's, very early 60's (no year is given). Of course Ian Underwood would gain renown with Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention, and Steve Swallow would become an ace jazz bassist, playing with such folks as Gary Burton (Steve is actually playing the trumpet on this record!). It also features "The Bearded Stranger" on Bongos, no idea who that could be... Based on the appearances it looks like this was recorded in the beatnik times at a fairly hip school. Interesting note, the track "The Preacher" is just the trio of Ian Underwood, Steve Swallow, and Mase Morfit, so weird to see the two biggest names in their school days on the same track.
This has never come up before, and I wonder if Steve Swallow or Ian Underwood even have a copy....
Includes cool tracks such as: Opus De Funk, Elephant Rock, The Preacher, Mambo Loco, and The Creep, great bluesy jazzy school album, I don't even know if another copy exists at this point.
