The Garfield Choraleers And Bellevue Community College Choir In Concert

This recording captures a collaborative concert performance from 1970, featuring the Garfield Choraleers—a renowned high school vocal ensemble from Seattle—alongside the Bellevue Community College Choir. Released under Century Records, a label specializing in private pressings for schools, churches, and regional performing arts groups, the album serves as a documentation of a specific community event rather than a commercial industry production.

The album reflects the mid-century tradition of high-fidelity archival recordings intended for students, faculty, and local families. These pressings were designed to preserve the sound of educational institutions, capturing the standard choral repertoire of the era. The cover design follows the functional, utilitarian aesthetic of the Century Custom Recording Series, focusing on identifying the participants and the institution rather than elaborate studio photography or promotional graphic art.
