Swing To Fitness LP
Advanced Elementary Physical Fitness
Original 1977? US release on Melody House Recordings (Oklahoma City OK) (catalog # MH-66). Still factory sealed.One of the best records off the Melody House Label, samples galore, sealed copy. Some great open drum breaks and tracks to play around with. Perfect for chopping up or the DJ set (Cut Chemist uses one track in his set, De La Soul, Biz Markie have sampled stuff off a different Melody House LP.) Don't see this one too often so bid accordingly!
Musical score, production and vocals: Harrell Lucky
soul-sides.com: I start with a look at Melody House, which brought together two sub-genres - dance instruction and children's records. Melody House - run by the wife/husband team of Sharron and Harrell Lucky - were hardly the only children's record label to have fitness and dance lessons but they've become the best known in digger circles, partially on the strength of "Pease Porridge Hot" (hello, De La!), partially because Stonesthrow comped four of the best songs off the various Melody House albums (and they had dozens) onto an EP.These songs really work best as novelty tunes...it's not like someone really is going to spin "Hands Clasp" (which is off of Swing To Fitness, one of the better Melody House titles) at the club but it is pretty fun to hear a kid's dance record with all the funky breakbeats that the Melody House albums boast. Unfortunately, none of the albums I own by them credit who the drummer is - could be Harrell since he tends to get credit for the musical score - but whoever it was definitely had a taste for polyrhythm.
CONDITION: Cover NM- / Vinyl MINT -- Still factory sealed a few corner dents, has never been opened so vinyl is presumably MINT, album is perfectly flat so record inside is not warped. Graded conservatively using Goldmine standards [G / G+ / VG / VG+ / NM / ]grade only used if record is brand new.
Bid with confidence -- over 12500 positive feedbacks selling vinyl on eBay since 1998, with a total 12-year average of 100% positive.
Shipping And Payment Info
Vinyl can be shipped worldwide via any method.
I will combine shipping. Winners of multiple items save substantially on shipping costs.
Within the US: Media Mail shipping is calculated automatically based on weight. NOTE: Media Mail can be S-L-O-W sometimes, especially to the West Coast. Media Mail delivery time is usually anywhere from 4 to 10 days, but occasionally it takes 2 weeks or even longer to reach the West Coast from here. Please consider this potential delay before you decide to go with Media Mail instead of Priority Mail. Priority Mail is a highly recommended option for all vinyl, it's a lot faster and much more secure -- I double-box (and sometimes triple-box) all LP's shipped via Priority Mail. Cost is reasonable and calculated based on your zip code.
Shipping costs include delivery confirmation for all US orders.
- Combine shipping with other items: The cost of each extra item is calculated automatically based on weight: if you want to add a record or CD to your order the cost is less than $1, usually around 50 cents per extra item depending on total weight.
- Combine shipping with other items: If you want to add a normal-weight record (7", 12", or LP) or CD to your order the cost is reasonable, usually not more than $3.99 per extra item, often less, depending on total weight.
All records are packaged securely, protected by both stiff and cushion packaging.
I can usually accommodate special shipping requests or special payment requirements, just ask.
