THIS LISTING IS FOR:
.
THE HIGH-NOTES
Self-Titled DEMO album

OMEGA Recording Services 0-018-WRY
Original 1970 issue • MONO LP
PRIVATE PRESSING • DEMO Only ISSUE

VINYL is VG/VG+
Overall extremely clean vinyl has some light scattered non-feelable scuffs and hairlines that are inaudible. Side 2 (VG) also has 3 feelable scratches that play through with audible tics, but no skipping. Most of the LP plays a very clean EX to NM, but you will hear tics on those few spots. Labels are very clean both sides.
.
COVER is EX+
Blank brown, lightly textured stock cover is super clean with one tiny surface blemish at bottom right edge. No wear, creases, writing or soil. Small paste-on Titles/Text slick is NM- with one tiny spot of wear; no other marks. Seams and spine completely intact with no wear or splits.

PLEASE NOTE:
Grainy, mottled look to label photo is digital artifact only, from trying to get a sharp image of the silver ink on medium blue background, in low light setting.
Labels are actually very smooth and free of any spots - with sharp, well-defined metallic silver print.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE GRADING

PRIVATE, DEMO ONLY ISSUE

printed on cover.

"10/19/70 Joaó" etched in dead wax both sides

Insanely rare, original demo circa 1970, from Ocean City Maryland. Reportedly under 100 pressed, never sold to the public, created solely for shopping the band around to new clubs. Only three other copies have ever surfaced on eBay, selling for up to $400.

Featuring killer versions of some of the heaviest hits of the day, LED ZEPPELIN, NEIL YOUNG CSNY, CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL, ROLLING STONES and more. Amazing arrangements, killer guitar solos, heavy solid bass and drums, rocking Hammond B-3 organ, special effects, and the lead vocalist tops it all off with real emotional feeling and harmonies, think Vanilla Fudge meets The Remains with free beer and more than enough Acapulco Gold.

 ...a truly amazing out of print artifact you won't find again, never re-released, though definitely worthy of reissue. from the birth of the psychedelic progressive hard rock era, all of the arrangements are unique and original and incorporate new harmonies and changes, extended soloing, and even experimental tempo and time signature shifts. Really amazing that a top 40 lounge band could pull this off, and it's not fine polished studio gimmickry, these are real people playing live at the Omega studio, probably first take with no overdubs, with all the basement loner garage band roughness that really sets them apart from similar private press LPs. Not a dull moment! "The Rock Sounds of The Hi- Notes!"

You can easily measure the rarity of this 1970 album ...less than 100 were pressed, and perhaps 4 or 5 have ever shown up anywhere online for sale.  It hasn’t been reissued either (and don’t hold yer breath), because this puppy didn’t even get a proper album release back then (with the cover that’s just a paste-on sticker on a stock blank), but rest assured – there are less than 100 people in the world at most who can own one of these.  At any given time.

Among the songs they cover are The Rolling Stones "Honky Tonk Woman", Led Zeppelin: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", "Born On The Bayou" from CCR, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young's "Ohio" and a great track (now seeming so obscure...) from the first Chicago Transit Authority, CTA album: "Make Me Smile / Colour My World".

Alright, alright already!
Yes, they also cover "MacArthur Park", but what are you going to do? They were trying to get work. in Lounges. In 1970.
overall a pretty brave set for securing gigs in small clubs!

 - must have worked for them, they did another, similar Private Demo "High Notes Experience" in 1975, where they ranged from Beatles to Steppenwolf to some pretty serious funk..
