School Days is the fourth solo album by jazz fusion bassist Stanley Clarke, released in 1976.

[4][2] In his book Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust, record producer Ken 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.

[citation needed] Dave Thompson, in Funk, called the album a "masterful set dominated by its eight-minute title track.
