Swarthmore Elementary 6th Grade: We Love Recess

Posted by on August 22, 2011

SWARTHMORE ELEMENTARY 6th GRADE: We Love Recess –  Recorded Publications Company  (US) AZB-27272
Oddball and totally unique 1968 private press LP with hand-inscribed cover from the Swarthmore, PA Elementary School 6th grade class performing an original play entitled “We Love Recess”.  Try to find another one of these in your lifetime, OK?  But wait!  Halfway through the second side, out of nowhere, comes this inept distorted guitar drone.  Check it out around 2/3 of the way thru the sound clip and “Join In The Fun!”

    Just so you know, I (along with my former music teacher, Ron Hockenberry) composed the music for “We Love Recess” when I was 11 years old. I had NOTHING to do with the guitar lick, however—be assured. It is so interesting that you found this record. Where?

    Listening to this brought a lot of memories back. Wish we had a video to it. Too bad we didn’t have cell phones with camera’s on them back then.

    Wow, I really dig the song at the end, so haunting. Is it possible to get the whole record as a download somewhere?
