Tramp

Tramp 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 Tobias Kirmayer, a DJ and record collector who often curates compilations for the label.

Tramp primarily releases their music on vinyl, with early 7" releases limited to 1000 copies and later reduced to 500 copies. Occasionally, they even have more limited releases available. Their focus on limited edition vinyl adds to the exclusivity and collectability of their releases.

If you're a fan of soulful sounds from the past or present, Tramp is the label for you. With their expertise in rare reissues and dedication to showcasing contemporary talent in the soul/blues/funk genres, they are a trusted source for discovering new music or adding unique gems to your collection.

16 obscure but brilliant Disco, Modern Soul and Boogie grooves of which the majority have not been compiled anywhere else. 

The album begins with Cirt Gill's disco bomb Put The Music In Your Ear, a perfect tune to open this second Volume. Tony Swamy, originally from Georgetown, Guyana, South America, recorded his one and only 45 in 1978. German saxophonist / band leader Ambros 'Mabusso' Seelos is best known for his 1960s / 70s funk outings. In Orbit is an insanely groovy disco cut and with this compilation celebrates its debut on vinyl! The Gangbusters unreleased disco banger remained in the can for 38(!) years until Tramp put it out on proper 45rpm single (on clear wax!) in 2018. The contribution of The Mabin Brothers Band is quite obscure as is Love Me by Mr. Maurice, while Maxwell is best known for his funk classic Radiation Funk. Meltdown was recorded around the same time but remained unreleased. Harry Hann recorded Bump and Run in 1977 when The Bump was one of the hottest dances around.

Tyree Glenn Jr. is no new name for the educated Tramp musicologist (check out Can You Feel It? Vol. 1 and the two recently released 7" reissues Jealous Love and Superbad). Jeremy Power's Ombre De Plaisir is sung in french, and what a "magnifique" Boogie-Funk track it is! Intercession was recorded in 1984 and is also a very fine midtempo Boogie track. Cecil Lyde is best known for his super rare, self-produced Stone Free album from which we pulled Money's Funny.

The album finishes with four mellow tracks. First of all we have the wonderful Dear Wendy, followed by the equally great Lover's Fantasy. Grayson Street delivers the uplifting Medicine Man which has a similar positive vibe as the final choice for CYFI 2 by The Fantastic Shakers, Carolina's premier beach music combo. The Wrong Side Of Me with its catchy almost pop-ish arrangement closes out the set perfectly.
