The Langley Schools Music Project - Innocence & Despair | CD | Preowned

A cult favourite: schoolchildren covering Beach Boys, David Bowie and The Beatles with disarming charm and heart.

Recorded in 1976–77 by students at two British Columbia elementary schools and later rediscovered as a genuine cult classic, Innocence & Despair collects 21 unlikely, beloved covers — from "Space Oddity" to "God Only Knows" — performed with all the earnest imperfection that makes the project so loved by fans of outsider and lo-fi music.
