Description
HERE IS AN EXTREMELY RARE DOUGLASS HIGH SCHOOL LP ENTITLED "TROJANS ~ A TOAST TO THE BOOGIE".
THIS DOUBLE LP FEATURES THE TALENT SHOWCASE FROM 79' - 80' FROM THE LEGENDARY OKLAHOMA CITY HIGH SCHOOL
I PERSONALLY THOUGHT I HAD THE ONLY COPY OF THIS ALBUM IN EXISTENCE UNTIL TO MY SURPRISE ANOTHER ONE SOLD FOR OVER $2,000 THIS WEEK.
I HAVE COLLECTED ALBUMS SINCE 1983 IN OKLAHOMA CITY. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COPIES OF ALL THE OTHER DOUGLASS HIGH RECORDS.. BLACK OUT, BLACK EXPERIENCE, ETC. THIS IS THE ONLY COPY OF THIS ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I THINK ITS SAFE TO SAY THIS IS THE RAREST OF ALL OF THEM.
THIS ONE ALSO STANDS OUT BECAUSE ALL 4 SIDES ARE DEVOTED TO THE TALENT SHOW, MANY OF THE EARLIER DOUGLASS RECORDS INCLUDED SIDES DEVOTED TO CHOIRS.
THIS ALBUM HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR, ROWDY CROWDS, SOULFUL BALLADS, FUNKY NUMBERS, GREAT PICS
AND THERE IS ONE OTHER THING THAT MAKES THIS ALBUM A TOTAL STANDOUT!
IT INCLUDES TIM DeGIUSTI (probably the only white kid in school!) SINGING A LITTLE R&B NUMBER
WHO IS TIM DeGIUSTI YOU ASK?
WELL...HE IS NOW A FEDERAL JUDGE WHO WAS NOMINATED BY GEORGE BUSH
LOOK HIM UP! THERE IS EVEN A YOUTUBE VIDEO CHRONICLING HIS LIFE AND TALKING ABOUT HIS TIME AT DOUGLASS
THIS ALBUM IS SO RARE I BET TIM DOESN'T EVEN OWN A COPY!
AS FOR THE CONDITION
THE GATEFOLD COVER IS IN BEAUTIFUL VG++ EXCELLENT CONDITION
NO SPLITS OR ISSUES, JUST A LITTLE LIGHT FADING
SIDES 2, 3, & 4 OF THE VINYL LOOK UNPLAYED AND GRADES NEAR MINT
SIDE 1 HAS A FEW LIGHT MARKS, STILL GRADES AN EXCELLENT VG++
DON'T THINK THESE THINGS ARE JUST GONNA START COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK, THIS RECORD IS UBER RARE
THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THE LAST ONE YOU WILL EVER SEE!
