Cover Concept by Erin Palumbo

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. The songs recorded in 2000 were co-produced by Chris Cavallaro of Monmouth University.

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.
