School Days is the fourth solo album by jazz fusion bassist Stanley Clarke, released in 1976.[2][3] The album reached number 34 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 2 on the Jazz Albums chart.[4][2]
In his book Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust, record producerKen Scott explains that the album was intended for release in 4-channel quadraphonic sound in 1976. However, at the last minute the record company decided to release only a standard 2-channel stereo version instead. This required Scott to create a "fold down" version from the 4-track mixes for the stereo release. The original quadraphonic version may still exist in the record company vault, but it has never been issued.[citation needed]
