"Just in Case You Call This Music Crap"
The First Studio Recordings

| Back to Main Page | Back to Gigs and History 1995-1997 Page |


The Professors entered the professional recording studio in November 1997 and March/April 2000 to record a selection of their original songs. The result was the CD entitled "Just in Case You Call This Music Crap..." The title is taken from T-ski's introduction to his song "Crap," which he used to deliver on stage before we played the song. T-ski used to say: "This next song is called Crap. Just in case you call this music crap, IT IS CRAP!" You can hear this introduction on the recorded track. The songs were recorded at Suite 16 Studios in Piscatway, New Jersey. Our engineer was Paul Sukovich, who was superb. Some of the songs were produced by Chris Cavallaro of Monmouth University. Boy, did Chris help! The cover of the CD is shown above. It was designed and created by Erin Palumbo.

The CD is incredibly rare - only 50 copies were made and most of those were given away to the band's fan base. I expect their scarcity makes them incredibly valuable, no? However, don't panic! We have made the songs available to the world as MP3 files. Click on the song name to listen to the MP3s.
