CARSHALTON HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS - GENESIS TO JAZZ LP (ORIGINAL PRIVATE RELEASE - CHSG LP1).
Super rare self-released LP featuring the Carshalton High School For Girls with their production of Genesis To Jazz.
With white labels showing no information, machine stamped matrix CHSG LP 1 A & 1 B. The record is in very clean Ex condition showing only a couple of very light, minor and faint surface hairline marks.
The hand designed sleeve is in VG+ condition with some general foxing/ageing, though with strong integrity.
'Tasting notes' from someone who owned a copy: "A very interesting item that only comes up for sale very occasionally and is sought after, mainly for the first 4 tracks on Side one….the first song sounds like it could have come out of the Wicker Man soundtrack!... Weird chanting, bells, noises etc. Track three, in particular, is a beautiful, acoustic guitar-led song, with a voice reminiscent of a young Sandy Denny.
"Even after the first 4 tracks there are some nice pieces…a cool jazzy version of ‘Feeling Groovy’ in particular, and Side Two is largely comprised of a Musical about Daniel in the Lions Den with some nice psychedelic touches!"
This comes c/w the original track listing insert which features only one name: Mary Ross. The other tracks are credited to First Years, Folk Group, Junior Choir etc.
Were you there? I guess probably late sixties early seventies?
