DESCRIPTION: Oooh yeah, baby! I'd heard about this all-time CLASSIC, so when I found this copy SEALED, I had to open it for a listen. And I wasn't disappointed. It's a KILLER PRIVATE-PRESS LO-FI LIVE NUMBERED LIMITED-EDITION PREP-SCHOOL GARAGE by LEGENDARY band! Same band that recorded the meaga-rare Calm Before... in 1966. This GEM was recorded in 1982 at the band's 15th high-school reunion (they graduated in 1967 from Phillips Academy - a prep-school in Andover, Massachusetts). Mix of Fuzzed-out stoners, punkers, mod and garage-soul/psych. BRUTAL stoned-out rendition of "Baby Please Don't Go". Only 1000 pressed! (this is #813 - see Scan 3)
All but one of the original band members made it back to the reunion, and none is a pro musician; so not surprisingly, some of the playing and vocals are RAW. I think the "rough edges" add to the allure; but overall, the quality of play isn't typical of "reunion" performances. Here's what Fuzz, Acid & Flowers has to say:

"Alive Again At Andover was a reunion concert recording and is surprisingly good. Brought back together for the 15th Reunion of Andovers' Class of '67. Ten of their gymnasium gig numbers are captured plus a version of Baby Please Don't Go from their first reunion stint at the Flowermarket Cafe, Boston in October '81. The original line-up is intact bar Todd Cohen (sic) whose place is filled by the ubiquitous Andy Paley. Unlike other reunion LPs which cash in on past glories this one stands up well on its own and, although these guys had done nothing in the music sphere since graduation, the spirit and fun of those heady days is reincarnated".

In fact, they really captured their rough teen '60s sound (although their voices obviously have deepened a bit). This is a RARE PREP-GARAGE MONSTER - DON'T MISS OUT!

CONDITION NM/NM+ (shrink-wrap torn, slight storage wear - see GRADING GUIDELINES below for further details)

LP GRADING GUIDELINES
Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description.
Please note I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
Please note my VG and G grades for vinyl generally are BETTER THAN GOLDMINE'S
Flaws for ALL covers graded VG or less, and labels graded VG+ or less, are noted in the description.
Vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, G+) are used, as applicable.
MINT - Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless
NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes
NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless
VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few minor surface or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scuffs or scratches (if basically inaudible) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect minimal or very slight (at worst) surface noise in spots. Cover has very slight general wear, OR minimal wear and a couple of very minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description)
VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still very shiny, has a few light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots
VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl still shiny or very shiny, has a few light scuffs, surface marks and/or small scratches, plus some sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect slight surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.
G (Good) - Vinyl typically still shiny (sometimes very shiny); has some scuffs and some surface marks, generally a few or some light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description)
