The Knights - Hot Rod High Capitol Duophonic LP DT-2189 The fine print on the label almost says it all ... File Under: Hot Rod Music The liner notes say the rest ... "Hot Rod High" is not a real school at all; it's a state of mind
This is a tough record to grade ... the shiny record makes me want to say VG+, but until I play it, I'm worried that some of the unusual scuffs may make it a VG. I included detailed scans of both sides and opted for the VG grading above because although the record was obviously taken care of with a cover that is a VG+ and the original Capitol sleeve with no splits, I'm worried that somewhere it may skip. For now I'm calling the record a VG (you may decide it's a VG+). I certainly hope you'll appreciate my honest assessment of the record.

You may search the nation for a school with the words "Hot Rod High" above the front door, and you'll find not a one. Because "Hot Rod High" is not a real school at all; it's a state of mind and a way of life that begins in the morning before school's in session, and picks up again around day's end wherever the gang gathers for dancing, or drag racing, or just to listen to the top tunes. And now "Hot Rod High" is also an album...a great recording that features a brand-new group called the Knights in their wonderful vocal and instrumental versions of teen favorites, both old and new. You'll hear their fresh, unusual playing on the beautiful Theme for Teen Love and the rocking, driving Midnight Auto, Three Wheeler and Ditch Day. You'll hear the hit sound of their voices on Beach Boy favorites like Hot Rod U.S.A., I Get Around and Be True to Your School, or other old favorites like Rock Around the Clock. And you'll hear them sing the new winners, like Hot Rod High and Skippin' School, that are sure to be known from now on as "The Hits of the Knights" as this fine new group takes its rightful place as one of the best in the nation!
