Description
ARTIST: Scotch Plains High School Class of 1970 TITLE: Winter's too cold for sneakers LP LABEL: HMR productions CAT#: RC-438 MATRIX: 44-fv 36858 1/2 st
CONDITION WAX: VG- • Plays through nicely with surface noise throughout. No skipping or major pops. LABELS: EX JACKET: VG- • The front 2 corners are split back slightly about a half of an inch. the is a bottom seam split about 2 inches, but is pretty well concealed. (check the photo) dinged bottom left corner, which also has some peeling. Overall the cover looks great with only very very slight ringwear at the bottom. Back pasteover is yellowing a bit and has some ringwear. There is some weird creasing and a tiny tear on the back near the middle where the opening is. I tried to take detailed photos of all of the flaws here as this is an ultra rare record... Please see photos.
DETAILS: If you know anything about this record it is a super super rare folk psych record by a New Jersey high school band. It was privately pressed and never available commercially (it even says so on the back of the jacket). I have never seen one in real life until this morning as it has become mythically scarce and desirable to record collectors. If you think I am insane for asking this much for it please note that an EX copy just sold for 1100 dollars last week and a FAIR copy (with a ruined cover) sold a few years back for 700 and change. I believe these are the only 2 copies to even see the internet in recent years. So if my asking price is too high... I'd be happy to keep this for myself. I'm really only selling it because I frankly need to pay some bills.
I graded this record at vg minus, but I believe a lesser seller would've called it vg. I have included a sound clip which is an actual rip of the entire side A so you can hear what you are buying. Again, it's the actual record you are buying. It's a great LP which has cool female vocals sort of to the tune of vintage Linda Perhacs. If you are into folk psych outfits like Ithaca you should at least give the mp3 a ride... I think you will be a convert.
