Tramp Records

Tramp Records is a German record label that specializes in rare soul, funk, and jazz reissues. They also release music by contemporary soul, blues, and funk revival bands. The label is run by DJ and record collector Tobias Kirmayer, who frequently curates compilations for the label.

Tramp Records primarily releases their music on vinyl, with early 7" releases limited to 1000 copies. However, they later reduced the number to 500 copies per release. Occasionally, they even have more limited editions available.

If you're a fan of soulful and funky tunes from both past and present artists, Tramp Records is the go-to label for discovering hidden gems and supporting talented musicians in the genre.

After 6 years and 7 volumes, the Tramp Records crew invites you to join them on yet another enlightening journey into soulful jazz, folk and funk from the 1970s. This 8th volume contains nineteen nuggets from between the late 1960s and the late 1970s. One of the many highlights is the opening track by Bobby Cole which is most likely one of the finest independently produced vocal jazz recordings ever put on wax. So true. Oscar Brown Jr. and Mark Murphy sends its regards. But that's just the beginning. Praise Poems Vol.8 covers a wide selection of genres, from big band jazz (Helmut Pistor's Big Rock Jazz Band and Germany's own Ladykiller) to psych-pop (Portraits in Sound, Harve and Charee and Allison &amp; Shaffer), from folk-rock (Flash, Garndarf and the incredible Fang Buzbee) to AOR (The Menagerie and Penn Central), completing the set with a handful of melancholic folk beauties, most notably Hans Hass Jr.'s mind-blowing "Welche Farbe hat der Wind". Very few compilation series' release as many as eight volumes and those that get that far often start to run out of quality music or meander too far from their original artistic direction. That certainly is not the case with the "Praise Poems" series which leaps from strength-to-strength as our team of compilers and researchers continue to unearth lost and often overlooked music from an era long gone. Many of these records were released in small quantities as private pressings or by small regional labels. Obviously, those labels neither had the budget, expertise, nor options to promote their releases in a sweeping way. Therefore the majority of these artists failed to find the wider audience their music so richly deserved.
