The Salesian High School Rock 'n Roll Show Volume 2 - Producted and Directed by Mr. W.A. Taggart 13-song MONO LP on Century Custom Recording Service from 1964 or 1965 (matrix # ZFV-20069-1 & ZFV-20069-2).  This is a fanastatic musical document of a concert held on October 18, 1964 at Salesian High School in East Los Angeles, CA, and according to the liner notes, 2,500-people were in attendance to hear some of the top name Rock and Roll bands from the East LA area featuring mainly Latin bands/performers.  As you'll hear in the sound clips below, at times the audience of teenage girls make it sound like they're at a Beatles concert, but I'm sure these bands were the "Beatles" of the time in this area.   As this was a private pressing, there probably weren't too many pressed at the time, and I'd assume that most were purchased by teenagers and were probably played to death, so I'd guess that there aren't too many copies still around after 47+ years.  Interestingly, there was a Sunday Bulletin titled "Is Everbody A Priest? dated December 5, 1965 from Santa Teresita Church in East LA included inside the LP cover, which I'm including along with this LP to keep the package complete and as I originally found it.  How many of these Sunday Bulletins are around after 47-years??

The artists and songs included on this LP are: Art and the Nite Liters "Tuff Talk", The Velvetones "Tenderly", Ronnie and the Casuals "20.75", The Rythum Playboys "This Is My Prayer" and "One Degree North", Thee Midniters with Li'l Willie G. "And I Love Her" (a Beatles cover), "So Far Away", "I Need Someone", "Darling Forever" and "Sad Girl", and The Blue Satins "Help Yourself", "Oh-Pu-Pi-Do" (Featuring The Sisters Trio), and "The Bounce".

PLEASE NOTE: I also have the first volume in this series up for auction this week, so please make sure you check that copy out as well!  If you win multiples, I'll combine them into one package to save you $$$ on S/H!!!

The blue labeled vinyl is in good condition with a fair amount of sleeve marks and scratches.  I'll be honest about this LP, there's a fair amount of pops and clicks, and in having played and listened to this entire LP, I found that there was one stuck groove in the Thee Midniters 3rd song, "I Need Someone".  As you'll see and hear below, is that I've included three clips for this LP, with the first one being a 10-minute clip of segments of the 7-songs on Side 1, the second one being a nearly 11-minute clip of segments of the 6-songs on Side 2 that shows the stuck groove in "I Need Someone" at the 0:42 mark, and the last clip is the same clip of "I Need Someone" that I was able to digitally "fix".  What you'll hear in the last clip, is that I was able to create a digital file of "I Need Someone" that plays through the stuck groove, which I found that I was able to "fix" by playing in backwards mode on my Stanton STR8-80, this way it physically plays through without getting stuck, and then I recorded it into my computer and was able to then reverse that one section to create a complete version without the stuck groove.  So just to be clear, I was able to do this digitally in my computer, but the needle did physically get stuck when played in "normal"/forward mode on my turntable and will most likely do the same on your turntable. 

The cover is is poor condition, with a total of 25" of seam splitting (including the whole top and bottom seams), storage wear, clear aging, creases around the edges, dinged/worn/rounded corners, a few impressions to the front and back cover, thin pieces of the front cover slick missing at the top and bottom and title spines, dings/chips/flaps at the opening and title spine, a light rippling to the back cover, and a fair amount of tiny dots/speckles of what appears to be light lime green paint to the top left and right corners of the front cover.

The Sunday Bulletin is in good condition with clear aging, handling marks, tiny tears at the top and bottom of the fold/spine, and creasing to the bottom left corner.
