Brief Comments: To start with, this one is completely unknown, not even on google , has never shown up before. Second, peep the drum breaks on B1 Black Magic Woman in the soundclip, and the heavy b-boy break on A1 Easy Mover . Incredible psychedelic heavy rock jazz-funk, the cover of jazz-rock group Chase s Get It On A2, will make you think of the S.M. Dorsey HS Frankenstein cut Side B, from B2-B6 is done by the all-female student vocal group of the HS the Belaires , and you might think that would detract. In this case it s the vocal group with the Stage Band backing on some amazing covers, beautiful renditions of Light My Fire , We ve Only Just Begun , a killer cover of A Time For Us that sounds closer to Joe Pass s legendary cover that was comp d on dusty fingers....Also an amazing take, from the woman s POV with the Burt Bacharach cover This Girl s In Love With You , sublime. B5 On A Clear Day may be the only possible let down, at first, for those used to The Peddler s amazing cover famously used in Breaking Bad , but they do a really nice job, one of the best covers I ve heard. The track A3 Woodstock is one incredible, like needs to be comp d on Schoolhouse Funk Vol.3 , another psychedelic jazz-funk mind melter, listen to the clips, you really got to hear it to believe it, you might think with a name like Schenck High School, how hip can they be? No offense to any Schenck s My last name is not hip by any means at a first glance, just know y all got a ballin rare groove mind-melter deep dig HS with your name , But any HS hip enough to title it Getting It On with the Schenck Stage Band and Belaires, is at least worth giving a listen, and it blows any expectation out of the water, track for track, this is Mighty Ryeders caliber level of Schoolhouse Funk.

Given I ve had this for about 6 years, and no copy has shown up before, or since than, not even my deepest schoolhouse diggers with like the Langston University Ensemble hangin on the wall in their record rooms have even heard of it. I truly don t think another copy is going to turn up anytime soon, unless someone has on the most hush hush stashed one away, the secretest of squirrels, it s probably a now or never type thing....

Tariffs aren t going to impact used vinyl records / music media, we wish they were never in place at all, so for international buyers, don t worry on that account

For our record grading, we stand by the merits outlined in the scale below, anything VG or below will have a detailed explanation in brackets next to the grade.

For sleeves, we will mention anytime there is split, or defect not visible in the photos in brackets next to the grade, otherwise we refer to the photos for the merit of the grade. Of course any questions, concerns, are always welcome :

Our media grading scale is as follows: Quick note, our VPI is still in storage on the other side of the US, we do brush clean many items carefully, but we have to prioritize, we won t leave anyone stranded with a filthy record, only filthy good We don t factor dust particles into the grading

NM Essentially a pristine album, like new, rarely used.

EX Under bright light if there is any scuffs or mark, which will be inaudible, most collectors and sellers would tend to consider it closer to NM, EX is also the grade others might call VG under the same level of conservative scrutiny.

VG More then a small handful of scuffs, light marks, nothing feelable, will have high-gloss, a thoroughly enjoyable copy that may only have tiny moments of barely perceptible surface noise overpowered by the music. Our VG will satisfy the vast majority of collectors as a nice keeper copy, as collector s ourselves for nearly two decades, this grade is aimed to be a great keeper. Note if say the record has a light DNAP warp, but otherwise is NM, we will automatically put it to VG and detail that. Another scenario is if a copy plays at a solid EX, but visually is VG, the composite grade will be VG , and detailed as such.

VG More hairlines, more marks, maybe a few visible scratches, no more then two feelable scratches which automatically lowers to VG- , there likely will be surface noise, but will play through, still being an enjoyable copy, the audio quality will satisfy most collector s the golden rule: if it doesn t satisfy us, it won t be VG , if a record is otherwise EX, but has a slight momentary skip, where 99 of the record is EX, we will note that, and put it at VG. Usually will retain a nice gloss.

VG- More Scratches than VG, surface noise will jump out more, it be overpowered for longer stretches, or compete with the music in places, it will likely play all the way through on most turntables, a copy that you can still get a decent play enjoyment from.

G Lots of scratches, deeper ones, surface noise now mostly overpowers or competes with the music. It may skip in some places. We don t tend to sell G copies, unless the rarity is so great, and that will be precisely detailed.

Thrashed Pretty much a Theoretical Grade for us, it be for all intents purposes virtually unplayable, it would be for display purposes, or perhaps if you needed the cover but not the record. It s theoretical because so far we haven t sold or identified anything intended to sell at this bottom level.
