Jazz
Review: The dusty-fingered diggers behind TRAMP Records have unearthed something rather special here: an unreleased, full-length recording of a live performance by hitherto unheralded combo Afro Blue Persuasion, an Afro-Cuban Jazz band fronted by Bay Area stalwart Ulysses Crockett. The full album, "Live at Haight Levels", will be released in 2019. As a taster, TRAMP has served up two tight edits of epic album tracks. "Philadelphia Mambo" is particularly potent, with breezy piano riffs and inspired saxophone solos rising above and distinctive mambo groove and tons of additional hand percussion. The flipside features their loose, solo-laden interpretation of bossanova classic "Girl From Ipanema". It's pretty darn good, though lacks the sheer ebullience of the more dancefloor-focused A-side.

Review: TRAMP Records continues to serve up tracks from "Live at Haight Levels", a rare 1960s recording of Bay Area stalwart Ulysses Crockett's little-known Afro-Cuban jazz band, Afro-Blue Persuasion. Both "Cuban Fantasy" and "Poinciana" have been edited to fit on a seven-inch, with the epic original versions naturally featuring in full-length form on the separately available two-part album. "Cuban Fantasy" is especially good, with wild flute solos and fluid piano motifs rising above a densely percussive Afro-Cuban groove. "Poinciana", meanwhile, is an altogether jauntier and breezier proposition rich in hot and heavy sax, Tito Puente style drums and more offbeat piano riffs.

Review: Soul fans rejoice because this is a truly cockle-warming gem that gets a much-anticipated reissue on Tramp. Amazin' Five's 'Only With You' pairs gorgeous and clean vocals with golden chords and backing trumpets that add warmth and luxury. It is a truly breezy cut that will work as well on dark winter nights as it will bright sunny afternoons and it comes with a Russian vocal as well as the English a-side. The Russian one appears on the flip and brings a more international feel. This is another fine move from Germany's Tramp label.

Review: For their latest must-check rare soul reissue, German crate diggers TRAMP Records take us back to 1969 and the sole single from Philadelphia outfit Andy Aaron & the Mean Machine. A-side "You're The Only One" is a superb chunk of bass-heavy soul full of energetic drumming, fuzzy horn motifs, inspired lead vocals by Bonnie Blanchard and sax solos from none other than Grover Washington (then a young musician and member of the Mean Machine). Equally as potent is instrumental flipside "Right On Time", which is a riotous funk workout that boasts more lung-busting solos from an on form Washington.

Review: American rock band Atilla and The Huns hail from Wisconsin and formed in 1964. The group consists of drummer Rich Legault, bassist Denny Lewan and singer/guitarist Mike Peace as well as rhythm guitarist Ben Wiesneiwski and they became a big hit on the local circuit. They put out only three two trackers between 1965 and 1969 and this newly assembled 7" plucks one track each from two of the now hard to find and pricey originals. 1967's 'Hurry Back' is a rolling funk number with bulky drums and twanging riffs that oozes 60s cool. 1969's 'Here's Where I Get Off' is a more sentimental roller with slightly deeper grooves and more lovestruck lyrics. Both will do well with Northern Soul lovers.

Review: Now this is what you call a hot damn funk record right here. The legendary Nathan Bartell released this absolute scorcher "Top Going Up Going Down" back in 1975 and is what you could call a good and proper digger's delight. You can trust German powerhouse Tramp (run by Tobias Kirmayer) to bring the revival as always, as these guys specialize in rare soul and funk reissues. Second offering "Jody & John" undeniably takes it cues from the godfather himself James Brown and his orchestra but wow: this one absolutely explosive tribute if we do say so ourselves. Hailing from Ashburn, Georgia, Bartell started out with Eddie & the Cascades in the '60s. In 1991 Bartell was hospitalised with a lung ailment and while recovering became born again and vowed never again to sing R&B music. He instead formed a Gospel group called Nathan Bartell & Reality and still performs in Southern Georgia.

Review: Ring Musik is one of Germany's finest library record labels and it is that which has been pillaged for this super new 7" on Tramp Records. The double a-side has never been re-issued since the first time it came out in 1976 and comes here with B-side bomb 'Bubble and Squeak,' a real rare groove classic with fluid bass playing and rolling rhythms that are softened with tender chord work and airy flute. A-side 'Sally' is a brilliantly intriguing track that leads you to a place of mystery on meandering bass, wandering keys and 60s horns. Both of these are lush.

Review: Better known as Johnny K, Ohio's Big John K was a vocal tour de force in the 50s/60s, playing with the likes of Ray Charles and recording a host of gems for indie labels that never had the funds to do his powerful dulcets justice. Gems like these. "Poor Souls" is a strike to the heart with a sword made of pure psychedelic blues. Gutsy, yearning and just the right side of cosmic, it's the reason why rare copies of this have gone for triple figures in the past. Flip for a more upbeat jam as Big John lays his stomp down with marching band energy. You'll be coming round the mountain in a jiffy the minute you hear this.

Review: This is the second 7" from Barbados group The Blue Rhythm Combo to be reissued in the past couple of weeks. The first was of course the voluptuous triple 45 wax job from UK label Jazzman, and now we see this tasty little 45 from Germany's finest funk label Tramp Records. This double A Sider has possibly the best tracks from the band in ''Take The Funky Feeling'' flipped by a version of Louis Villery's penned ultimate funk classic "Black Water Gold". For admirers of the tropical side of funk related gems this is nothing short of essential.

Review: 2 superb '70s funk/vocal sides, from the same man who brought you the disco/funk classics "Dance Across The Floor" and "Spank". Suffice to say this is rare early material known to only a few and released by Tramp to the masses for the first time.

Review: Originally released on his 1967 album A Point Of View, Bobby Cole's 'A Perfect Day' is a stirring slice of vocal jazz which surges with urgency thanks to his virtuoso piano playing. There's a sadness behind his lyrics, and it creeps in around the edges of his musical chops, but the pace of the track gives it an infectious buoyancy. That's certainly not the case on the B side, where Cole's malaise comes to the fore on what was the album's closing track, 'I'm Growing Old'. As you might expect, it's a downcast reflection on ageing, sung with acerbic honesty and played with heart.

Review: In Tramp we trust! Germany's foremost funk archivalists are on a veritable roll right now and swiftly follow that double drop of Peach Chant compilations with this kicker 7" from the Bobby Hamilton Quintet. The quintet's rare 1972 LP, Dream Queen, is the focus here as Tramp exhume two prime jazz funk cuts for their debut appearance on their preferred 7" format. Ever a label to keep DJs on their toes, both cuts on this 45 actually play at 33rpm, a method employed by Tramp to ensure both 5 minute tracks sound as loud and crisp as possible! There's an altogether dreamy quality to the lead trumpet on "Roll Your Own" (has this been sampled?) whilst "Pearl (Among The Swine)" will please the jazz dancers no end.

Review: Straight up steamy, sweaty shake-down soul that - until now - has been rare as hen's teeth. Spotted passing hands for upwards of L500 in the past, we have two storming sides for the price of one: "Mood For Love" is a stomp happy northern soul classic loaded with all the right ingredients; big harmonies, bigger horns and a beat that won't quit. "Let Me Down Easy" didn't achieve anthem status in the same way and has since been the driver for the original pressing's high price. Stick the needle on and you'll know why; powerful Rhodes, life-affirming horns and a gutsy vocal that burns from the inside in the best possible way.

Review: The Boogoos are a new combo which combines the heavy rhythm section of heroes like James Brown with the unbelievable power of the horn section of Fela Kuti. Their unique styles is an incredible melting pot of different kinds of music, with influences from the likes of Hugh Masekela, Art Ensemble Of Chicago and even some funkier bands. DJs will love "Bubbles", especially the b-side, which starts with a monster drum and percussion, just perfect for the dancefloor! If you dig Antibalas or the Timmion crew out of Finland, you will be pleased with this release on Tramp. The Boogoos includes members of the former Poets Of Rhythm, current members of The Hi-Fly Orchestra and The Express Brass Band, all of which have had several releases in the field of funk, Latin, Brazilian and traditional New Orleans jazz.

Review: Do not adjust your browser, it's Milton Bowser: one of Germany's few true funkateers from the late '70s foundation era. Armed with just a smidgeon of compere kitsch and big band showmanship "The Ride" is a punchy sing along slice of funk drama with very crisp delivery and story telling while "The Thief" takes us on much more of an Elton John style trip with galloping pianos, detailed phrases and a climax that seems to never end. Ja wohl.

Review: Germany's mighty fine Tramp label asks you to enjoy some Sax on The Rocks here courtesy of mod-soul monster Gus Brendel. This classic of the genre has never been available on 45rpm before now and is sure to fly off the shelves as a result. It's a sax laced - obviously - seducer with a funky rhythm and steaming hot organ chords doing a busy dance. If you flip it over, you'll find a real ass-wiggler in the form of 'Arabian Nights' which was actually recorded a couple of years before the title track on the A-side. It's another steamy dance floor gem.

Review: Strap in for a super rough and ready ride through raw as coleslaw funk here from the Tramp label. This classic slice of original Los Angeles funk, 'Booty Whip' has feature on a label comp before but never on its own slice of vinyl. It is here presented as an unreleased acetate version and features some wild hammering on the piano, big, boisterous drums, expressive horns and guttural vocals. On the flip is a tune that is just as good in 'Money Tree.' The vocals are again sleazy and unrefined in all the right ways, with twanging guitars, psyched-out guitars and a big wall of sound.

Review: Tramp Records is keen on continuing its busy release schedule, never compromising quality, danceability, collectibility or personality in its sheer volume of releases.
2008 starts with 'Don't Go Away', the exciting debut of Lucky Brown & The Funk Revolution, a brand-new unit formed by producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist, Joel Ricci. Ricci and his far-reaching collective have been hard at work rocking shows and developing their signature 'west-sound' style for over seven years. Ricci hand-picked the cream of the players, bankrolled a wild, week-long road trip, then crammed the seven piece Funk Revolution into his tiny cabin in Northwest Washington, affectionately dubbed 'Chez Jojo.' The rhythm section in the living room, horn section in the kitchen, and Ricci in the middle doing his best to capture all the drippings of natural energy and soul on an old tape machine situated on a clean spot on the kitchen counter.
'Don't Go Away' features Ricci on lead vocals and the horn section as background singers. This cut has all you need: powerful vocals, a monstrous horn line reminiscent of the JB's 'The Grunt', and two fly flute/drum breaks for the beatdiggers.
'The Fresh One' is an instrumental track with a rude sound to it, The Funk Revolution lay down a killer groove and after Tommy D has his way with his spooky saxophone, Lucky manhandles the flute once again, then makes way for drummer Olli Klomp to take it on home. 'The Fresh One' is simply a monster b-side, 2 and a half minutes of wild and rough deep funk madness.
Although the number of bands that are playing so-called deep-funk steadily increases, few can match the chemistry, urgency and true funk grit as these brethren. Lucky Brown & The Funk Revolution get the job done by simply doing what they do, hungry to present themselves and their thing to the world. The pan-Atlantic partnership and friendship forged between Joel Ricci and Tobias Kirmayer has given birth to this incredible double-sider. A fitting debut for a real funk revolution and sure to be a sought after collector's item, the first in a parade of dance floor power singles.

Review: Feeling lucky? With grooves as raw, sizzling and energetic as these, there's a strong chance you might be. Hot on the heels of their "Mesquite Beat" 45 comes this equally earthy and frank doublet. "'Bout To Blow" is a big pant swinging blues affair while "Saints & Beggars" takes us up a notch with a whirling 6/8 signature whirling waltz where the horns and drums take the lead and we follow in their every dreamy footstep. Look out for the album Mesquite Suite coming on Tramp very soon.

Review: As they say themselves, Tramp Records is one of Germany's tiniest but funkiest record labels. That's backed up once more here with two versions of a super golden soul tune from Van Buren. This originally appeared on the label's mighty fine which was a various artists collection a while ago. It is a tune well worthy of its own pressing though: 'Bronco Queen' (vocal) has low-slung drums with sensuous vocal harmonies and tumbling funk basslines all embellished with some sunny day melodies. The instrumental on the flip allows those melodies and brass lines to really shine.

Review: Carmelita is a digger's dream, a name that'll make eyeballs turn in their sockets when come across in second-hand record bins. She is only known for her Northern soul classic "Rosebud", but it appears that she may have had a few EPs that went below the radar. Tramp Germany have done us the favour of reissuing - and largely resurfacing - "Mitchie Mitchie Mo-Jo", a latin-funk stomper backed by an incredible percussion roll and Carmelita's own rugged but beautifully deep voice. "Under The Trees" is dreamier, more magical, and contains something of the mystical in its circling flutes. A real find - don't miss it.

Review: Tramp Records has a good relationship with obscure Illinois soul man Wayne Carter. Back in 2013 they put out a compilation of his near impossible-to-find singles and here reissue arguably his most rare and sought-after 45 (for proof, check how much original private press copies change hands for online). With its meandering Hammond organ solos, heavyweight rhythm section, fuzzy horns and impassioned vocals, "Peter In Or Out" is a genuine deep funk bomb. On the flip you'll find the more laidback and groovy "Let's Run Away From The World", in which backing band the Organ Twisters provide a fitting backing for Carter's impassioned plea to a lover to "at last be free".

Review: Formed over two decades ago in a small town in Northern Finland, Chicken Grass is one of the most storied - if not particularly well-known - Finnish funk bands. Yet despite this history, they've never previously appeared on wax, making this must-check 45 a vinyl debut almost 25 years in the making. A-side 'Snakebites' is simply superb: a timeless slab of rhythm and blues style soul featuring authentically fuzzy production, punchy horns, mazy Hammond B3 solos and a killer lead vocal from YouTube sensation Princess Shaw. Flipside 'Trading Bullets', meanwhile, is a deeper chunk of blue-eyed business that adds spacey jazz-funk synths to the band's usual vintage soul sound.

Review: Tramp Records is one of Germany's tiniest (in their own words!) but funkiest labels who release new bands, but also re-issue quality rare funk, soul and jazz too. This time around they present us with City News for some truly authentic porn-funk soul vibes that you would honestly be convinced were from the early seventies in the vein of Hot Chocolate or Ramp like on the tremendous A side "Bustin' Up". On the flip we've got "Chan The Man" a kung-fu fightin' hoe down aboard the soul train express.

Review: Originally surfacing on King's Music City Records in the 1970s, Tramp now treats us all to a reissue that will bang at any party: 'Teach Me How To Bump' is a mod and soul groover powered by snappy drums while sleazy Hammond organs bring the colour next to a growling male vocal. 'Bring It On Back To Me' is much more powerful and direct with yet more Hammond organ madness.

Review: One of the leading cuts from Tramps' Moments Vol 9 collection, Connie Kaye Trio's super rare "Woman" playfully riffs on Peggy Lee's "Fever" riff but comes with a completely subverted message and mood behind the lyrics and a powerful northern soul stomp. Strident, striking and full of drive, this special 45 release has been long overdue. Catch it while you can.

Straight up soul with a strong emphasis on feels and finances; "Price I Had To Pay" rolls with a bluesy tone, swooning chords and a powerful backing vocals while "You Gotta Give Up Some Money" plays the consummate riposte with an upbeat unashamed request for investment.

Review: The soul, funk and disco 7" community are a strong one. Besides garage rock and psychedelic rock, there might not be another genre that is so beloved on the small but mighty 45 RPM format. So, it completely makes sense if you are a newer producer releasing music in these genres then definitely know your fan base. Cool Million is a Danish and German duo doing just that. Their track 'Stronger' is the track and the title of their sixth full length album from 2019. The album has gained such strong reviews that they put it now as a single along with the Dub version on the reverse side. 'Stronger' is a positive and upbeat anthem that is sure reign in the innocent bystanders to party. The Dub is a super-cool alternative version that reminds of us classic roller-skating funk track from Midnight Star or Kool & The Gang. Need a party starter? Get this!

Review: Like many of the records they choose to reissue, the D.M Movements' sole single, 'Ooo Wee Baby', is seriously obscure and hard-to find. It was one of just a handful of releases on John T Johnson's private press imprint Jay-Tone Records and saw him transform girl group the Satin Dolls (who's harmonious, feelgood releases also appeared on the label) into a laidback funk outfit. The A-side 'Part 1' is the full vocal take, with the band's sassy singing riding loose-limbed funk breaks, heavy organ licks and a heady bassline. Arguably even better is the flipside 'Part 2' version, a largely instrumental take (albeit with some breathless backing vocal) with wilder Hammond licks and a slightly harder-edged groove.

Review: Singer, songwriter, actor, legend: Roy Hytower's Doktu Rhute Muuzic project pays homage to his roots (literally - his father was a herb doctor) his beliefs and his pure skills. A story teller with a strong, smoky bluesy twang and wide range over two sides he paints a big picture; "I'm In Your Corner" has a great Stax style sleazy funk with its tight looseness and brilliantly timed horn section. "Tip Jar", meanwhile, is a much slower jam that rolls with a lolloping groove and a destitute tale that sucks you in with the similar techniques employed by the one and only Mr Brown. Yeah it's that good.

Review: Unless you're really subverting it and doing something pretty far out, James Brown covers are largely best avoided. Duffy and Johnny's rendition is a refreshing exception; the orchestra carry serious weight (and keep it as tight as Brown as insist himself) and Johnny's delivery is emphatic enough to rise myriad groin thrusts. Watch out for the incredible organ solo, followed by a double kickdrum crescendo and insane spiralling horn riffs. Feel good? Damn straight!

Review: Introduced to us on Tramp's recent Movements 6 collection, Dynamic Duke Royal's long-lost 40 year old sounds cover a great breadth. "I Wanna Know" is super-charged with rock n' roll energy as it thunders with energy, breaks into a great horn-heaved chorus and crisp Hank-style guitar twangs. "Let Me Prove My Love" plays the instant soothing foil. A bluesy ballad with woozy horns, far-away piano tinkles and a Duke's honeyed vocals, it's an instant heart-stopper.

Review: Missouri man Early Turner is the latest to be celebrated on the always sharp Tramp label. This was his first record in the late 70s, right on the cusp between trad funk and the emergent sound of boogie. 'S'port City Rock' is a sweat-inducing dancefloor cut with a deadly on-the-one groove and some serious bass, letting just a few choice synth zaps to sneak into the mix but keeping things primarily organic. 'Sunshine' is a softer soul number - the perfect sentimental foil to the serious get-down on the A-side.

Review: The Echomen's song 'Let's Get Together' first appeared on the third volume of the Movements compilation series many many years ago. Now repressed via Tramp, it's a soul-swing anthem for positive change, calling on people young and old to make peace with their own communities. It rails directly against individualism, opting for humility; the B-side 'Talk Is Cheap' echoes a similar sentiment, but within the context of a relationship.

Review: 'Churn The Butter', a mid-1960s single on the tiny (but back then surprisingly prolific) Chicagoan label M&M, is the undoubted highlight of pianist and bandleader Eddie Buster's all-too-brief recording career. It's something of rhythm & blues gem all told, and well worthy of this timely TRAMP Records reissue. Fronted by vocalist Jr Robinson, the track is rich in heavy organ lines (courtesy of Buster himself), heavy horns and guttural rhythm and blues grooves. Flipside 'Kitchen Cookin' is another riotous and raucous affair, with Buster and his band charging through a low-down rhythm-and-blues-goes-funk instrumental that will have all but the most sluggish punters up and dancing in no time at all.

Review: A monstrous 45rpm jazz vocal double-sider from 1972, TRAMP records has been on a rampage with their treatment of incredible and rare jazz and funk. 'When He Speaks', featured on the compilation album 'Movements Vol.11', is a swingy groove pining about a sickly sweet romance, a soulful fairytale. Side B is a far more sombre affair, however. 'The Ring' is a guitar-led ballad on temptation, guilt and remorse, Elliott's voice reverberating from the speakers like an empty chapel.

Review: Jimmy 'Preacher' Ellis is one of those admirable soul singers whose talent alone was not enough to take him to the very top of the music industry. Despite boasting an incredible voice, he had to make do with releasing singles and a sole album on a variety of obscure labels. 'Since I Fell For You', which is here reissued by the dusty-fingered diggers at TRAMP Records, was the first of these. Released in 1963 on the tiny Cross Road label, the song sees Ellis and the Centuries sing about a lost love atop a unique - but rather good - Latin-soul backing track. Flipside 'Hard Times' dates from a little later in Ellis' career and is little less than an urgent rhythm & blues treat. Ellis's gravelly, impassioned vocal is nothing less than superb.

Review: The small but potent Tramp label is back with more irresistible gems from Frederic Rabold Crew. The bad was formed in 1968 and went on to soon become big names in the German jazz scene of their era. The crew travelled a lot throughout Europe and between 1972 and 1980 dropped an impressive six studio albums. It is 1975's Open House record that is pillaged for the two singles presented here after they have been served up as part of Tramp's spiritual jazz compilation album Peace Chant which is as worthy of your attention as this 7".

Review: When it comes to reissuing vintage soul and funk, Germany's Tramp label is second to none. For them, a new week means a new beauty to reissue, and this particular week in October is no different; in fact, this magnetic little 7" is fabulous in every way. First up is 1971's "Funky You" by The Fugitives and Archie, a group who only released a handful of EPs under that moniker, but whose most famous tune is here for you to own, and cause serious levels of angst among the collectors (as you can imagine, the original is rather hard to find). On the flip, the same outfit team up with Scottie for a more classic, sensual love ballad called "Love Come Down", the sort of song which makes your head turn and spin to ask the DJ: "mate, what's that!?".

The Seattle funkateer has been credited with keeping authenticity and gritty flair at the heart of his sound and that comes through by the bucketload on this essential record from the archives of his band The Funk Revolution. Pulled from the heady, spiritual living room sessions from which his 2011 Tramp debut was compiled, this is the first half of a veritable feast of hot and heavy jams from a band locked into something just beyond their comprehension, like all the best funk should be.

Review: The mighty Tramp label is back with another 7" of funk that will pack a real punch on any cultured dancefloor. This time out it is Lucky Brown's Crawdad Farmers aka The Funk Revolution who serve up 'Space Dream,' a track named to commemorate a soulfunk masquerade party trumpet player Lucky Brown aka Joel Ricci threw at a Bellingham Washington music venue many years ago. The a-side features a version that is lo-fi and raw, a real jumbled of loose drums and funky leads, then comes a rehearsal version of 'Scatterbrain' which his another slow and purposeful funk workout.

Review: While Philly's Don Gardner is largely famed for hits such as "I Need Your Loving" and "Glory Of Love", it's releases such as this 1967 Cedric 45" (among other notable and highly rare 45"s on Verve and Sedgewick) that have really stood the test of time and stood out to collectors happy to pay thousands. And for good reason; "Tighten Up Your Love Bone" is a gutsy power R&B soul joint while "Is This Really Love" takes its foot off the gas for moments of pure come-to-bed soul many years before White and Hayes made it their signature. Don really was the real deal.

Review: Super limited 45 with two tracks taken from the Tramp long player The Story Of Vernon Garrett. Vernon started off in the entertainment business, singing gospel music in church in Nebraska. Years later, after serving in the US Navy and relocating to Los Angeles, he embarked on a successful career as a talented vocalist and percussionist. "Don't Do What I Do" is a fast and furious soul funk club smash with a distinctive live sounds and Vernon's vocals upfront in the mix. On the flip, ''Satisfying Woman'' shows Vernon on top form with a polished vocal performance assisted by an uncredited female. Only 300 copies - don't sleep!

Review: TRAMP Records' reissue output is so frequent and consistently good that each successive 45 is a genuine must-check affair. Their latest is an absolute beast, too: a new edition of a suitably obscure, impossible-to-find funk seven from one-shot outfit George & The Highlanders. 'The Hawk' first landed in selected US stores way back in 1967 and is a near perfect example of bustling, celebratory instrumental funk of the sort that makes you want to flail your limbs around uncontrollably. It's sharp sax lines and heavy Hammond organ licks are particularly satisfying. The band's organist comes to the fore on flipside 'Smoking Bananas', where wild solos and jammed-out chords rise above another killer, low-slung heavy funk groove.

Superbad! The Best Of Tyree Glenn Jr (LP + 7" + postcard + MP3 download code limited to 300 copies)
Cat: TRLP 9091BONUS7. Rel: 23 Jul 20
Funk
Review: Over the last couple of years, TRAMP Records has done much to raise awareness of the work of Tyree Glenn Jr, an American rhythm & blues, soul, funk and jazz musician/band leader who has resided in Germany for well over 35 years. Here they continue to pay tribute to him via a first ever retrospective compilation. It begins with a quartet of killer live recordings from his 1978 set with Brain Damage (including fiery covers of tracks by Kool & The Gang and War), then offers up such gems as "Marler Eintopf (Deutsch)", "S.O.S" - previously reissued by TRAMP on a "45" - and his heavyweight James Brown cover that gives the compilation its title, "Superbad". This edition also contains a bonus seven-inch reissue of Glenn's 1964 debut single with the Emotions.

Review: Tramp Records has stayed close to home for this release, reissuing two killer cuts from the 1981 album "Mittwochs In Marl" album by Tyree Glenn Jr. While he is American - his father, Glenn senior, was famously Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong's trombonist - Glenn Jr had moved to Germany (where he still resides) around the time that the album was recorded. Lead cut "Superbad" is a genuinely heavy, full-throttle funk beast, with Glenn Jr doing his best James Brown impression over an insatiable groove and rousing sax solos. "Ma(r)l Sehen", on the other hand, is a much more breezy affair - an instrumental jazz-funk outing rich in dueling sax and electric piano solos.
