tramps feeling nice series has positioned itself as a universally accepted essential cultural and historical document of some of the greatest unknown local vernacular american black music of the sixties and seventies. the feeling nice series has been dedicated to filling in the blanks between the more well known cuts of so-called deep funk canon and drawing out the relationships and stories behind and between the tunes and the artists, and ultimately creating a dialogue that serves to enlighten and enliven a true anti-racist discussion of american popular music specifically and of global human music in general. with feeling nice vol. 4, tramp continues this important conversation, and having spent over 700 days unearthing a rousing selection across the board, offers it to you, now, as a double lp with full-color label scans, never before seen promo shots, and detailed biographical information - in some cases in the words of the artists themselves! also includes a single-sided bonus 7 inch plus download code for the full release, all housed in a gatefold sleeve.

it is more than astounding why this tune hasn t been resurrected for an ad for one of the many chain of fast food outlets. although the original 45 is neither superrare nor expensive, finger licken chicken is certainly one of the finest examples of philly funk. it was originally released on leoso but was re-released on the yew label. both sides were written by sonny fulton who teamed up with sandra for a killer r&b-ish funk cut on the flip titled back breaking love

ok, we have to admit that we could not resist to include -chances are your dance is mine on our latest feeling nice 3 compilation album before re-releasing it on 7inch. despite the fact that the original 45 is already quite in demand in collector circles we are sure that there are many people out there who have never heard about rickey andrews. much more important for us is that this re-issue is a welcome opportunity for the not-so-rich music lovers who do not spend hundred of $$$ for vintage vinyl records. thats our mission and that s what rickey andrews and his music definitely deserves.

much interest domestically and abroad has been generated over the years about an indie soul label in san diego, ca called musette records, whose short life span (1965-1968) only produced less than 20 singles, and no full albums. more than 40 years later, musette would achieve the collectible status among record buyers of northern soul, who recognize and appreciate the r&b grooves that pulsated on these now extremely rare singles.

nathan bartell grew up in a little town called ashburn, georgia but soon moved to atlanta georgia where he began to perform in the night clubs. in 1973 he released “top going down, bottom going up” on the soul-po-tion label. bartell remembers: “at the time i was having family problems. my wife didn’t want me and i was deep in love. i felt at that time that i was at the bottom of the pit and i wanted to rise up out of that mess because my wife made me feel that i was a nobody. i was not good enough for her - nobody wants you when you are down and out. she felt that she were on the top and i was on the bottom. this song was a message at that time.” there is nothing for us to add except that we are delighted to bring this little beauty back to new life.

three years ago, a group of renowned danish jazz musicians showed up on the copenhagen club scene. their goal was to put together a band which would fuse the west african music of fela kuti with the inimitable style of jazz bassist charlie mingus. the two creative directors michael blicher (sax) and gustav rasmussen (trombone / guitar) dubbed their project the kutimangoes (tkm). their debut album afro-fire took off like a rocket and won the danish grammy award in 2014 for best world music album and also was nominated in categories for best compositions as well as best alternative jazz album. following this success the band appeared on worldwide festivals and laid down frenetic and inspired performances in denmark and germany.

it all began with a licensing inquiry for a sister funk cut which we wanted to include on our deep funk comp titled “feeling nice vol. 3”. after the deal was completed producer fred forsh mentioned that the backing band of nadine brown’s masterpiece “leave me alone” had released a 45 themselves under their name teakwood. after mr. forsh played us both sides we knew that this 45 would have to be re-issued. what was about to follow nobody of us ever expected. mr. forsh told us that teakwood recorded almost a dozen of songs which were supposed to be released on a full length album. for unspecified reasons the album was never released and it remained in the can for almost 40 years. finally, we are very proud to announce the release of teakwood’s debut album “a distant star” in early 2017. until then you have to be content with this 45 rpm single re-issue.

one more time we choose two little known gems for re-release on 45 rpm single. another single by the same group is pretty in demand by funk 45 collectors. these two sides are not that much known but they certainly deserve the same attention. while funky you is pretty good, uptempo funk, the b-side is the real beauty of this record. love come down is a fine example of chicago soul which has not been re-released yet. hopefully many people appreciate the work behind this release, from both the original musicians as well as those who are responsible for this high quality re-issue.

the intelligentsia have been claiming it for quite some time, and now finally, after many petitions, demonstrations and protests, a tiny little record label from germany has achieved what only google and troubleshooter par excellence angus macgyver have ever accomplished: admission into the worldwide dictionary. “to google” and “to macgyver” will soon be joined by the newly coined verb “to tramp”. the term can be decoded as “to seek and find the seemingly hopeless” or “looking for something hidden”, always connected with a positive output.

none of the adjectives mentioned above apply for the albums of don mccaslin s warmth. born in tacoma washington in 1926, don moved to the san jose area during the first year of life. he took a few piano lessons as a child, but it was boogie woogie music that really inspired him. while attending san jose state he formed a band which had piano, guitar, vibes, bass and drums. following his graduation from college, don played music on the weekends and worked as a high school english teacher for fifteen years. then in 1970 he quit his teaching job and moved to santa cruz, making music his main pursuit. in 1971 he was invited to bring a jazz combo to play at a political rally. the event took place in the patio of the 19th century courthouse building, now called the cooper house. the owner told don that he was putting a sidewalk cafe there and invited him to play on opening day. don ended up playing there until the 1989 earthquake ruined the beautiful old building.

the blue bottles were founded by guitarist matt taylor, drummer stephen russell and bassist dan lott in 2011. the concept being to play no-nonsense heavily percussive raw funk, aimed directly at the dance floor but with songs and melodies that will lodge in the skull and refuse to jettison. fast forward to 2014 with numerous gigs under the belt (and now swelled in size to 6 members) and the band decamped to record 13 tracks - all live in one room in one day - including these two featured tracks. a healthy dollop of sonic fairy dust was then sprinkled all over the mix by leading uk funk producer lack of afro. a number of these tracks, all as yet unreleased, have been getting heavy rotation on bbc radio 2s craig charles funk & soul show. the band have a shared love for all the great 60/70s funk classics - lee dorsey, james brown, betty davis, and so many others. but dont mistake the blue bottles for a retro styled bunch of suit wearing imitators - with a diverse range of musical tastes and backgrounds, the band have been variously described as the mc5 playing funk.

while every rare groove dj/collector is familiar with the name don gardner, the average music buyer probably isnt. some of you may remember one particular song though: *i need your lovin* from 1962. performed by don gardner & dee dee ford, it climbed up to #4 on the billboard charts and even made the pop top twenty. but that aint all. what was about to follow might not have had enough penetration power to jump on the charts again, but every single song don gardner recorded in that decade had pure class.

in the late 60s early 70s many american soldiers where stationed all over germany. among those where musicians who played in several army bands like the east of underground who recorded a now sought after album after they had won the special services entertainment showband contest held in frankfurt in 1971. nobody knows which other bands participated in this contest, maybe also the soul explosion which were stationed in augsburg, upper bavaria. around the same time, a man named charles held opened a club in augsburg town called tarantel. furthermore he was running a record label of the same name on which he released a handful of 7inch singles from different, local bands, mainly not funky at all though. the soul explosions release remains the only one in the field of american soul & funk music. the band recorded a fantabulous double sider, one deep funk side with a soulful ballad on the flip which makes both hardcore funk and soul collectors happy. unfortunately there is no more information available about the band, only that they even performed live at the tarantel club.

now and then we here at the tramp office receive material from new soul bands from all over the world. quite often it is nothing of interest for us, except for a few. the tibbs, originating from the netherlands, are certainly one of those exceptions. the tibbs were formed in the early summer of 2012. started as a cult act, playing obscure instrumentals and long forgotten memphis and northern soul classics, they soon felt the urge to expand the repertoire with their own songs. the result: a surprising, exciting mix of heartfelt originals. with a lineup of drums, bass guitar, lead guitar and hammond organ, a three-man horn section and the feisty vocals of frontwoman elsa bekman, the tibbs amount to seductive garage soul with a dash of blues, funk, jazz and surf.

roy porter is best known for playing an important part of the bebop movement in the 1940s. he had played with guitarist teddy bunn and howard mcghee as well as charlie parker on the now classic dial session on 28 march 1946. in 1971 he released *jessica*, the debut album under roy porter sound machine. we found it a good idea to put the vocal and instrumental versions back to back on one 45rpm single. especially because neither of the two have ever been released on 45, until now! so here you go, and be quick! 500 copies pressed. do not miss the two long-players *the story of roy porter sound machine* (trcd/lp-9018) and *roy porter sound machine - generation 94* (trlp-9028), both available on tramp records.
