Inspirational Renditions Of 1970s Music Sung By School Chorus On Double LP!

Replicas of the two rare and highly sought 1976 & 1977 LPs that have captivated the world, inspired a VH-1 documentary, a feature film and Broadway musical (School of Rock) and the soundtrack for Spike Jones’ Where the Wild Things Are. The Langley Schools Music Project is a 60 voice chorus of rural school children from western Canada singing the songs of The Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, David Bowie and many more. Captured in the school gymnasium, the recordings were never meant for commercial release but were pressed on LP for the students, family and friends.

"Seems to sum up all the reasons music is holy. Album of the year candidate." - Spin

"The backing arrangement on 'Space Oddity' is astounding. A piece of art that I couldn't have conceived of, even with half of Colombia's finest export products in me." - David Bowie
