During that pilgrimage, he went to London England in time to attend Keb Darge's 'Legendary Deep Funk' 6-year anniversary at Madame Jojo's. While in the middle of the dancefloor, he was moved so significantly by this obscure brand of 'deep funk' Mr. Darge was unveiling, he became overcome by a mystical sense of 'coming home'. Additionally, he spent a week at Camden's Jazz Cafe to meet The Poets of Rhythm, The Breakestra, The Sugarman Three, DJ Snowboy, DJ James Trouble, and others. When Joel mentioned the nature of his quest to Neal Sugarman, he warmly invited him to come visit Brooklyn and kick it with members of Antibalas, Binky Griptite \u0026amp; The Mellomatics, and the Dap Kings. But before the trip back to the states, Joel spent some time in Paris playing his trumpet at a club called 'Cithea' where they would host weekly 'rare groove' jam sessions. During the jams, Parisian students of Tony Allen would overtake the stage with their instruments and their full African clothing, chant the word, 'Fela', and begin to play this intense free improvised funk and afrobeat. While traveling by train from Paris to the south of France to visit family, Joel began hearing this inspiring polyrhythm swirling in his inner ear and mixing with the \"clack-clacka\" of the train moving down the track. As soon as he arrived at his destination, he sat down at a piano and jotted down the polyrhythm, bass line and fundamental horn cluster on a piece of sheet music paper. The simple tune was finally rendered to tape ten years later with Lucky Brown's Crawdad Farmers [aka The Funk Revolution] on the Magik Carpet at drummer Olli Klomp's Lakeside log cabin in Stanwood, Washington. The tune became the title track to Lucky's first full-length on Tramp Records (Lucky Brown's Space Dream, TRLP-9011).\n\nSpace Dream is so titled in part to commemorate a soulfunk masquerade party Joel threw at a temporary all-ages Bellingham Washington music venue called 'The Pickford Dream Space'.

However, it wasn't their first release on Vinyl.\n\nIn 1969, two years after the group was founded, a 7-inch single EP with four folk songs was released, by then under the name \"The People\". With Woodstock and the changes in folk and rock music in the early 1970s, bandleader Bernd Heyder dissolved the band. A few years later he founded \"People\", whose sound was now based on artists such as Crosby, Stills and Nash and Neil Young. After many frenetically celebrated live performances, the desire to record a full length album arose at the end of the 1970s. In 1981 the time had come and \"Misty Mood\" was released on a small, local label called \"Ohrwurm Records\". Just one year later the band released their second album titled \"Easy Going\". Their third and final album, which exclusively contains songs with German lyrics, was released on CBS Records in 1983. CBS wanted to sign Bernd Heyder as a solo artist, but he politely declined. When the hoped-for success failed to materialize, CBS prematurely terminated the band's contract. In 1984, \"People\" disbanded.\n\nWith the stunning LP release \"Natures Melody\", Tramp Records honors Aschaffenburg's \"People\" after almost 45 years. The reason why no one has really taken an interest in them so far may be because the original Vinyl records are anything but rare.

In short, it all started in the 1990s when DJs like Keb Darge, Mark 'Snowboy' Cotgrove and others began spinning obscure and feral Funk 45 RPM singles from local American bands, ostensibly generating another sub-category branch off of the mighty Northern Soul tree. The dance-club phenomenon inevitably spilled over to contemporary groups on the funk scene which immediately tried to record their music the way their idols did. The 'rare groove' and 'acid jazz' movements had run their course and there was a concerted effort to reinstate primitive idiomatic styles and techniques into the music, most notably by 90s funk collective The Poets of Rhythm. As more years passed by the number of bands steadily increased (although in tiny numbers, compared to the mainstream market). Almost every country had a representative with the majority of them coming from the United Kingdom. The deepfunk sound was still a niche, however a very few bands made it onto the mainstream charts, most notably Sharon Jones \u0026amp; the Dap Kings.\n\nAt the height of the retro-soul movement a questionable development took place. As more bands arrived on the scene, the production became more and more polished and pop-ish. Some of that squeaky-clean tidiness began to creep into the recordings, encouraged in part by the signature sounds of the digital recording technology available at that time. Some bands even tried to jump onto the possibility of promoting their music as 'deepfunk' although they were actually playing slick, funky pop music. This way some people who thought they were listening to raw, energetic funk actually felt quite ambushed when hit with real deepfunk. In fact, a certain percentage of funk music produced within the past 20 years does not deserve to be described as 'deepfunk' at all. Fortunately there were (and are) some pleasant exceptions which did not just imitate but actually rendered amazing funk music just like some of the finest funk combos of the 1960s and 70s.\n\nOne of those creative minds is without a doubt Joel Ricci aka Lucky Brown. Originally from Seattle, Washington, USA, he has enriched the deepfunk community since the mid-2000s with his stellar abilities. He is not only an amazing musician playing multiple instruments, but also a brilliant composer, arranger, and producer too. But for us here at Tramp he is much more, a close friend and remarkable human being. Whenever we were struggling, whether with the label or in private life, Joel and his musical work helped us to overcome everything and to keep going our path.\n\nSo here we are in 2023. The songs you are listening to right now are the complete Space Dream collection, split into two parts, representing the two living-room recording sessions from which his 2011 Tramp Records debut was compiled. Each fully remastered album contains unreleased material and comes with brand new, beautifully reimagined artwork by Ricci himself, housed in an authentic 1960s tip-on cover. A first class product from a first class musician for the discerning funk enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50417058808139,"sku":"2050205","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_2e947af3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726715216"},{"product_id":"peace-chant-vol7-private-jazz-from-germany-1970-1987","title":"Peace Chant Vol.7 - Private Jazz from Germany 1970-1987","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"This landmark compilation continues the unfoldment of diabolically obscure yet culturally and artistically essential recordings that have been hidden and precariously balanced on the precipice of obsolescence.\"\n\nFor German musicians the mid-70s to mid-80s were an extremely fertile and fruitful time. Though The Peace Chant series is focused mainly on amateur bands, private pressings, and long lost acetates, many of the artists included here nevertheless made their mark upon the German and world music scene and even played with many of the giants of the movement.\n\nAs the 60s were coming to a close, many German musicians began experimenting with fusing jazz, rock, pop, electronic, and world music with a harder, more aggressive sound. The resulting movement, originally called \"kosmische music\" or \"cosmic music\" would give way to the kaleidoscope of sounds now known as Krautrock.\n\nMany labels and compilations, not to mention reissues have been focused on this moment and in many ways, today, there could be said to be a global revival in the art form by younger, modern bands. But this is where Tramp Records, always peeking behind the curtain, has decided to take \"the road less traveled\" as we trust them to do. This edition of the Peace Chant series explores the artists that, instead of going full steam ahead in the rock and world music direction, decided to play the role of 'spiritual advisor' to the movement and continue building a legacy of jazz and pop infusions to their more rock-oriented counterparts. Of course, there may not have been much commercial appeal of these recordings and many of them fell into obscurity. But it is thanks to the tireless efforts of Tramp Records that we are able to catch a glimpse of what undoubtedly the Giants of the genre at the time were already well aware of and likely being influenced by. As you will see, many of the artists in this compilation went on to become music teachers and mentors in their own right and surely influenced the course of music history in Germany. Now their stories are finally being told. And though the music is amazing on its own, it is truly astounding when cast in its historical context. This landmark compilation continues the unfoldment of diabolically obscure yet culturally and artistically essential recordings that have been hidden and precariously balanced on the precipice of obsolescence.\n\nFor the first time ever, Tramp Records is proud to present an \"all German\" artists version of the Peace Chant series, including liner notes printed in German exclusively with an English translation downloadable.\n~Joel Ricci (August 2024)\n\nKey selling points:\n- deluxe double-gatefold LP containing detailed liner notes \u0026amp; unpublished photographs\n- incl. full album download code\n- ALL songs appear on LP for the very first-time\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50421661008203,"sku":"2223119","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_ab088d26_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726759313"},{"product_id":"break-it-loose","title":"Break It Loose","description":"\u003cp\u003e** A true deep funk classic - now officially re-issued with the blessing of the band! **\n\"Break It Loose\" has been a Rare Groove classic for decades.

The dance-club phenomenon inevitably spilled over to contemporary groups on the funk scene which immediately tried to record their music the way their idols did. The 'rare groove' and 'acid jazz' movements had run their course and there was a concerted effort to reinstate primitive idiomatic styles and techniques into the music, most notably by 90s funk collective The Poets of Rhythm. As more years passed by the number of bands steadily increased (although in tiny numbers, compared to the mainstream market). Almost every country had a representative with the majority of them coming from the United Kingdom. The deepfunk sound was still a niche, however a very few bands made it onto the mainstream charts, most notably Sharon Jones \u0026amp; the Dap Kings.\n\nAt the height of the retro-soul movement a questionable development took place. As more bands arrived on the scene, the production became more and more polished and pop-ish. Some of that squeaky-clean tidiness began to creep into the recordings, encouraged in part by the signature sounds of the digital recording technology available at that time. Some bands even tried to jump onto the possibility of promoting their music as 'deepfunk' although they were actually playing slick, funky pop music. This way some people who thought they were listening to raw, energetic funk actually felt quite ambushed when hit with real deepfunk. In fact, a certain percentage of funk music produced within the past 20 years does not deserve to be described as 'deepfunk' at all. Fortunately there were (and are) some pleasant exceptions which did not just imitate but actually rendered amazing funk music just like some of the finest funk combos of the 1960s and 70s.\n\nOne of those creative minds is without a doubt Joel Ricci aka Lucky Brown. Originally from Seattle, Washington, USA, he has enriched the deepfunk community since the mid-2000s with his stellar abilities. He is not only an amazing musician playing multiple instruments, but also a brilliant composer, arranger, and producer too. But for us here at Tramp he is much more, a close friend and remarkable human being. Whenever we were struggling, whether with the label or in private life, Joel and his musical work helped us to overcome everything and to keep going our path.\n\nSo here we are in 2023. The songs you are listening to right now are the complete Space Dream collection, split into two parts, representing the two living-room recording sessions from which his 2011 Tramp Records debut was compiled. Each fully remastered album contains unreleased material and comes with brand new, beautifully reimagined artwork by Ricci himself, housed in an authentic 1960s tip-on cover. A first class product from a first class musician for the discerning funk enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50423609753931,"sku":"2051090","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_4c91e995_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726770072"},{"product_id":"can-you-feel-it-vol4-modern-soul-disco-boogie-1976-85","title":"Can You Feel It?

The majority of the artists originate from the United States, however we are extremely proud to present a couple of German bands too. The one quality these tunes all share is that they, once again, will make you get up, get down, and get ready for some more highly underrated MODERN SOUL, DISCO and BOOGIE that YOU CAN FEEL!\n\nWe start with \"Step By Step\" by Matter of Taste, originally from a small town near Stuttgart, Germany. Although Vantage Point was an American group, the band recorded \"All Night\" in Munich in 1978. Kim McCrae is one of the more obscure artists on this album but what a stunning tune she delivers.\n\nThe original 45 by Frankie Staton is not only good but rare too. That's why we are going to re-issue it soon. Royal Touch delivers classic Disco and \"You Shake Them Things\" by Synod is previously unreleased.\n\nOur absolute favourite track on this album is by Pat Carpenter. Released on 45 in 1982, \"Love You Use To Be So Easy\" with its positive and uplifting vibes will certainly put a smile on the face of all our listeners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne year earlier, Swankk, better known as The Buckeye Politicians, released their brilliant 45 on their own BPS label. German superstar Herbert Grönemeyer recorded his debut album with the Ocean Orchestra in 1979. Over the years \"Skinflint\" has developed into a certified Rare Groove classic (at least here in Germany). Street Life is the third German band which made it onto CYFI 4. Additionally \"Steps On A Cloud\" will be released on 45 in the near future.\n\nTory Wynter, born in Jamaica, enchants us with his wonderful reggae-ish composition titled \"Real True Voices\". The only cover-version on CYFI 4 is \"I'll Be Good To You\", originally by The Brothers Johnson. Some tunes on this albums are hard to find on its original format. Rarity is one thing, quality is another. This proves Dalton Reed. Finally, the album finishes with a break-heavy tune titled \"Gettin' Lucky\".\n\nSo there you have it, 15 obscure but brilliant MODERN SOUL, DISCO and BOOGIE grooves of which all songs have not been compiled anywhere else. We sincerely hope you enjoy our guided tour back into the late 1970s and 80s Disco era. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50423647142219,"sku":"2054993","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50423645045067,"sku":"2054986","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_bbdbc1f3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726770398"},{"product_id":"red-point","title":"Red Point","description":"\u003cp\u003e** Limited to 300 copies. \"Red Point\" is a 7\"-only track **\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTramp Records is extremely proud to collaborate with a true German jazz legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFRÉDÉRIC RABOLD will celebrate his 80th birthday this year.

His father was a jazz musician and had dreams of all three of his children becoming musicians as well. Frédéric started out learning the violin but always gravitated to the trumpet. The violin actually ended up on the wall at some point, which may have revealed Rabold's tendency toward impulsiveness. He came into contact with jazz music at an early age when he lived with his parents in France. Later on, his father had a big band with which he performed at dances in health resorts. At the age of 16, he often played with his father in American Army Clubs. From 1961 to 1964, Frédéric studied at the University of Music in Karlsruhe. In 1965, he moved to Stuttgart where he still lives today. In the same year drummer Axel Lauser approached him and asked if he wanted to play in his trio. Then, for a few years, Frédéric played in the Axel Lauser Quartet. In 1968, Frédéric founded his own band, the Frédéric Rabold Crew. The music of the \"Crew\" was well received in the 1968 era and the band quickly gained recognition in the German modern jazz scene. Invitations to several major festivals followed, including the jazz festival in Zurich. Later, they toured extensively through Eastern Europe on behalf of the Goethe Institute. In 1968, the first recordings were made by a friend of the band during a rehearsal. However, they were not to be released until 1980 on the LP \"Berlin\". \"Noon In Tunisia\" is one of these tracks. In March, 1970, the crew performed at the 12th German Jazz Festival in Frankfurt am Main amongst such Jazz greats as the Albert Mangelsdorff Quartet, the Klaus Doldinger Quartet and the Dave Pike Set. Two years later, the Frédéric Rabold Crew released their debut album entitled \"Flair\". This was followed in the 1970s by more than half a dozen albums for various labels. These included the album \"Open House\" with guest guitarist Martin Ederer, as well as three albums with singer Lauren Newton between 1975 and 1979. Rabold also worked with avant-garde jazz musicians such as Gunter Hampel, Leszek Zadlo, Lester Bowie, Manfred Schoof, Albert Mangelsdorff and Jeanne Lee.\nIn the mid-1970s, a second formation was formed, the \"Frédéric Rabold Jazz Inspiration Orchestra\", which, unlike the crew, continued to exist with the same line-up well into the 2010s. In 2018, Frédéric Rabold celebrated the 50th anniversary of his group, the Frédéric Rabold Crew.\nToday, Rabold can look back on more than 1000 original compositions. Sometimes certain events led him to a composition, other times he just sat down at the piano and something happened, or not. Even though his real love is modern jazz, he has played all styles himself, including classical trumpet. In this respect, his role models were actually always American jazz musicians, who were sometimes quite unconventional in this respect. Frédéric Rabold's motto has always been: there is good and not so good music in all styles. This album brings together only the former.\nKey selling points:\n- deluxe double gatefold vinyl LP\n- incl. detailed liner notes in german and english language\n- incl. unseen photographs\n- incl. download code\n- limited to 500 copies\n- pressed on BIO🌿VINYL =\u0026gt; Replacement of petroleum in S-PVC by recycling used cooking oil or industrial\nwaste gases\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50443957993803,"sku":"2210853","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_e68197ae_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727022319"},{"product_id":"welche-farbe-hat-der-wind","title":"Welche Farbe Hat Der Wind","description":"\u003cp\u003eHans Hass' masterpiece \"Welche Farbe Hat Der Wind\" gets an official reissue treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50455327146315,"sku":"1152152","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"sunborn","title":"Sunbörn","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn their first album as Sunbörn, the Danish 6-piece digs into what connects us as human beings: we are all born under the same sun and are connected by the same forces of nature.

This time our journey leads us through various musical styles, originating from countries as diverse as Barbados, Guyana, Germany, and the US. The album begins with Compton Hodge. Originally from Georgetown, Guyana, South America, he recorded his self-released debut 45 \"I Wanna Dance\" in 1978. Some 2500 miles up north in New York, Kip Carmen, of Montauk Indian descent, put out \"Stampede\" two years later. Right next to the Canadian border in Detroit, Michigan, the Vernon brothers were doing their thing as Monofide in 1981. Just like the latter two records, original copies of H. Andrews \u0026amp; Company's 45 are super easy to find. Alhough they may be easy to find, it is still up to us to elevate them to 'Tramp Records' status, therefore these three quality cuts have made their way onto our CYFI 3. Recorded one year prior to their never-released \"A Distant Star\" album, Teakwood's \"Can You Dig It?\" has developed into a certified Rare Groove classic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contribution of Parnassus is quite obscure as is \"Take The 'A' Train\" by Hot Cakes while Third Stream is best known for being featured on \"Praise Poems 2\". Van Buren's contribution is our most favorite track on this album, \"Bronco Queen\" with its positive and uplifting vibes will certainly put a smile on the face of all our listeners. \"S'port City Rock\" as well as \"Turn It Out!\" (previously unreleased!) are boogie-funk specimens at their finest, which, without doubt, will set any dance floor on fire! JAVA released their one and only 45 in 1983. \"Say Wah Choo Mean\" was the b-side which could explain why the song is still relatively unknown in boogie collector circles. Hailing from Barbados, Ivory's \"Warm Love\" is a wonderful composition just as is \"So Trusting\" by James Kelly Duhon (featured recently on \"Praise Poems 7\" along with another great song). The band Nature from Germany delivers the feel-good love song \"She's The One\" which has a similar positive vibe as \"My Woman, My Woman.\" The album finishes with the sexy \"Feel-In\" by Florida's The Unit III. So there you have it, 17 obscure but brilliant Disco, Modern Soul \u0026amp; Boogie grooves of which all but one song have not been compiled anywhere else.

Doughty and his four world-class athletic teammates formed the heart of the band. The Shake \u0026amp; Bake Band in the mid 70s played live at Baltimore's hottest Clubs with teammates in attendance on Monday nights after Shakin' \u0026amp; Bakin' their opponents on Sunday at Memorial Stadium. Doughty's sports hero was Muhammad Ali. He originated the popular Shake \u0026amp; Bake athletic movement scoring touchdowns. He recited Shake \u0026amp; Bake poetry like Ali to make predictions after games on local and national TV to celebrate Colts victories. His lyrics in his music were used to fire up thousands of his Colts fans and his teammates. Many fans felt the group sounded like WAR the popular funk group from California. Members of the Shake \u0026amp; Bake Band were: Glenn \"Dr. Shake\" Doughty #7, All-Time Colts leading Wide Receiver, producer, lead singer, congas and lyrics, Ray \"RC Cola\" Chester, All-Pro Tight End, Super Bowl Champion, Bass, Baltimore, Maryland, David \"DT\" White, Wide Receiver Lead Guitar, producer, sound technician.

Though The Peace Chant series is focused mainly on amateur bands, private pressings, and long lost acetates, many of the artists included here nevertheless made their mark upon the German and world music scene and even played with many of the giants of the movement.\n\nAs the 60s were coming to a close, many German musicians began experimenting with fusing jazz, rock, pop, electronic, and world music with a harder, more aggressive sound. The resulting movement, originally called \"kosmische music\" or \"cosmic music\" would give way to the kaleidoscope of sounds now known as Krautrock.\n\nMany labels and compilations, not to mention reissues have been focused on this moment and in many ways, today, there could be said to be a global revival in the art form by younger, modern bands. But this is where Tramp Records, always peeking behind the curtain, has decided to take \"the road less traveled\" as we trust them to do. This edition of the Peace Chant series explores the artists that, instead of going full steam ahead in the rock and world music direction, decided to play the role of 'spiritual advisor' to the movement and continue building a legacy of jazz and pop infusions to their more rock-oriented counterparts. Of course, there may not have been much commercial appeal of these recordings and many of them fell into obscurity. But it is thanks to the tireless efforts of Tramp Records that we are able to catch a glimpse of what undoubtedly the Giants of the genre at the time were already well aware of and likely being influenced by. As you will see, many of the artists in this compilation went on to become music teachers and mentors in their own right and surely influenced the course of music history in Germany. Now their stories are finally being told. And though the music is amazing on its own, it is truly astounding when cast in its historical context. This landmark compilation continues the unfoldment of diabolically obscure yet culturally and artistically essential recordings that have been hidden and precariously balanced on the precipice of obsolescence.\n\nFor the first time ever, Tramp Records is proud to present an \"all German\" artists version of the Peace Chant series, including liner notes printed in German exclusively with an English translation downloadable.\n~Joel Ricci (August 2024)\n\nKey selling points:\n- deluxe CD with 24-page booklet containing detailed liner notes in English \u0026amp; German language + lots of unpublished photographs\n- ALL songs appear on CD for the very first-time\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50783046598987,"sku":"2227561","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_af823582_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1731051241"},{"product_id":"peace-chant-vol5","title":"Peace Chant Vol.5","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Peace Chant compilation series is a Temple, a reliquary of sacred harmonious statements made by enlightened artists throughout time.

You are holding the 125th (one-hundred-and-twenty fifth!) album on Tramp Records in your hands! We are honored to celebrate this impressive anniversary with the tenth volume in the Praise Poems series. This time, too, we go on a journey to discover previously unheard regions of jazz, folk and AOR from the 1970s and 80s.\n \nPraise Poems Vol.10 presents sixteen (almost) forgotten rare groove gems, all released between the years 1970 and 1984. One of the many highlights is the opening track: \"Fields of Laughter\" by Color Me Blu - originally released on an acetate only of which two copies exist worldwide. But there is much, much more to discover. This brandnew volume features a wide range of genres, from AOR (Whiz Kids, Ross Miller, and another previously unreleased track by Harve \u0026amp; Charee) to Latin-Rock a'la Santana (Color Me Blue, Tribal Sinfonia, and Apple) to Soul-Jazz (Ernie Lewis Trio, Joe Bozzi Quintet or Dutch saxophonist Frits Kaatee). Right at the end, one track in particular stands out: the wonderful \"It's Good Not To Forget\" by George Melvin and his quintet - a fabulously dreamy, thoughtful instrumental piece in the style of Ramsey Lewis with catchy tune potential.\n \nNot many compilation series make it to a tenth edition. And if they do, then you often notice that the quality of the songs goes in the opposite direction to the increasing number of series: namely decreasing. Not so with Praise Poems Vol. 10, which the creators prove in an impressive new way. They have found tracks that were originally either a) pressed by the musicians themselves in very small editions or b) released by small, regional labels. It is understandable that neither the musicians nor these small labels had the necessary knowledge or budget to market their albums or singles professionally. The majority of the bands therefore did not manage to reach a large audience - although they certainly had the potential for the big stage.\n \n\"Praise Poems 10 - A journey into soulful jazz and funk from the 1970s\" makes these almost 50-year-old treasures accessible to a new audience.

They toured incessantly in the early years, traveling from Chicago in Illinois to New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Nebraska and seven other states. They performed at Chicagofest, Summerfest and everywhere they could find a stage. The recordings in this collection represent some of the 12 recording projects they did, primarily between 1972 and 1984.\n\nSynod came to our attention about three years ago when we discovered their single \"Future Shock\". We were working on the ninth edition of the \"Praise Poems\" compilation when we started looking for the band. After a few months we were finally successful and \"Future Shock\" was released shortly afterwards on \"Praise Poems 9\".\n\nThe band drew our attention to another single they had released in 1979. When we heard \"Sheryl Song Is Gonna Do My Dancing\" we immediately fell in love with it. But it got even better! Synod sent us several dozen unreleased songs, all recorded between 1972 and 1984, originally intended for release on several album projects that never materialized.\n\nNext we released \"Anchors Away\" together with \"Sheryl Song\" on a 7\" single. Two more songs, this time nasty garage rock (\"Places to Do\" and \"Creatures of Habit\"), were immortalized by our label mates at \"Perfect Toy Records\" on their \"Down \u0026amp; Wired\" compilation series as well as on a 7\" single. Another track, \"You Shake Them Things\", was included on our disco\/modern soul compilation \"Can You Feel It Vol.4\".\n\nAfter Tramp Records \u0026amp; Synod released all previously unreleased album projects digitally in 2024, the idea was born to immortalize a carefully selected choice of songs on vinyl LP.

After 10 outstanding issues, we are saying goodbye to the Praise Poems series, which is highly appreciated by collectors and music lovers, with this 11th installment. With this final installment, we are deliberately venturing into a genre that we have only included in exceptional cases to date: Power Pop of the late 1970s and early 80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start with \"Real Proof\", an unreleased song by the band The Nails, originally from Boulder, Colorado, who were even signed to a major label a few years later. Although the Fingerprints recorded an entire album, it took over 45 years before it was finally released in 2022. \"Wasted On You\" comes from one of the three singles released between 1978 and 1980. In contrast to the Fingerprints, the original singles by Naked Rush are extremely rare. This is probably one of the reasons why none of their songs can be found on a compilation to date. It's great that we are now changing this. Incidentally, this applies to the majority of the songs on this album and to all our compilation albums in general. Fritz, Blue Rain and Holidaye are no exception. We would like to mention two songs in particular. Firstly, \"Don't Quit\" by The Scam, which was produced by William Garrett. Garrett was responsible for the launch of Spotify Singles as Senior Music Producer at Spotify from 2016 to 2023 and has worked with artists such as Elton John, Ed Sheeran, John Legend and many more during this time. Secondly, there's a great story about Animal Logic. In 1989, the band found out that Stuart Copeland from The Police was forming a new band. The name? Animal Logic! After pleas not to use the name were ignored, the Animal Logic guys were forced to take the matter to court and eventually sold the name to Copeland. There are many more exciting stories about the bands in the booklet accompanying the CD and the LP insert. With \"A journey into raw, energetic power pop from the 1980s\", we now conclude our 10-year journey of discovery through music history under the \"Praise Poems\" umbrella.

Although, and this should not be misunderstood as arrogance, label boss Tobias Kirmayer and his crew have been doing nothing else for 22 years, strictly speaking. Every compilation series from the Upper Bavarian label, be it the \"Movements,\" \"Feeling Nice,\" \"Praise Poems,\" or \"Can You Feel It\" series, specializes in independently produced music from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s released on small private labels. This means extremely time-consuming work to track down the musicians, write down their stories, and, last but not least, invest a high four-digit amount to release such compilation projects as deluxe (double) LPs and CDs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe industrious creators of the label have already released seven volumes in the Peace Chant series. Parts 1 to 6 were single LPs with predominantly American tracks. Part 7 was the first to be dedicated to purely German productions. Furthermore, the decision was made to release a double LP with a gatefold cover, not least to accommodate the extremely comprehensive accompanying text and images.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8th edition once again focuses on German productions. It includes rare (Fences), unreleased (Music Community), but also the odd €10 record. The mere fact that a record is rare\/expensive doesn't make it interesting for Tobias Kirmayer and his team. They are primarily interested in the music. And if a song convinces them, it makes it onto the shortlist. In fact, many established reissue labels too often ignore records or individual songs and don't re-release them simply because they are not sought after by collectors. Kirmayer and his fellow campaigners have made it their mission to combat this injustice. A good example of this would be Sabanone, a title by Büdi Siebert's formation with the wonderful name HerrGottSax. The original LP costs around €15.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53143221928267,"sku":"R6403-5599","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":53192320811339,"sku":"R6403-4947","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover-2.ki_3c7f41e7-cc0b-4559-905a-5035a1482f8f.jpg?v=1754738268"},{"product_id":"keine-nummer","title":"Keine Nummer","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost of you probably first heard about Baobab when they appeared on the Peace Chant compilation series (Vol.7).  Baobab was once described as \"one of the most interesting rock-jazz groups on the Stuttgart scene\". \"Keine Nummer\" was originally recorded and released in 1978. 44 years later the band came together in the studio to record an updated version which is exclusively available on this 45.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tramp Records","offers":[{"title":"7\" - Black","offer_id":53237179646283,"sku":"R2148-0639","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover.ki_92187f94-5c17-4aba-8186-5b4919e85080.jpg?v=1755977746"},{"product_id":"under-and-above-the-clouds-yacht-rock-grooves-from-germany-austria-1979-1991","title":"Under And Above The Clouds - Yacht Rock Grooves from Germany and Austria 1979-1991","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen people think of Yacht Rock—those smooth, sun-drenched sounds that once drifted from Californian radio stations in the late '70s and early '80s—they rarely imagine it echoing through rehearsal rooms in Hamburg or Linz.

Take, for example, the opener by Guamanian Frankie \u0026amp; the Karter's Peanut Organization. The protagonist comes from Guam, a tiny island in the western Pacific, a good 5000km north of Australia. The previously unreleased \"Back In Time\" comes from an acetate pressing. As far as we know, it is the only existing copy. Easy and Carrie Chaplin \u0026amp; Mark Perron delight us with light folk soul, and fans of Terry Callier will certainly enjoy the following songs. Family Progression, Brandy, and Benito Hodge breathe a little jazz into the soul. Incidentally, the co-producer of \"Loving You\" was none other than Hubert Eaves III, who was part of the electro-funk duo \"D-Train\" in the 1980s and had several Billboard Dance and R\u0026amp;B chart successes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little psych rock or psych soul is also a must.
