More Konnoisseurs...

Tantrum

Hi again. Just a short post this time. Pathetic enough, my setup for vinyl ripping are still not satisfying soundwise. Still looking forward to get started. But I have to wait until it's good enough. It'll take quite some time to rip & prepare good stuff anyway, so the result might as well be as good as it gets.
Still in the Konnoisseurs topic. Here's the two album released by the Chicago based 70-80's band Tantrum. Not quite as ABBA as their look, I recommend both albums. Good stuff.
I read about some rerelease of this stuff, or plans, including material from a never released third album, but that's something I sadly never seen/heard/found/got my hands on...

Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, used a bad digicam, my scanner are not operative right now. So, this'll do for now. See, both my vinyls pictured here are still sealed :))

some great stuff you're posting here!
I got hooked on the konnossier stuff too some years back -think I managed to track down most of the artists from it ..
The Tantrum albums were released by escape music as a 2 cd set with the third unreleased lp included I think it's still available from their website
cheers!

Thank you for the first Tantrum lp, strangely enough i've been blaring the 2nd quite a bit lately, so now i can get to grips with their debut too.

These albuns and the third never released at the time where rereleased by Escape Music at 2005.

Unfortunately, the third unreleased 'Breaking Away' album which was part of the Tantrum CD release back in 2005, is not a digital remaster, and is far from pristine - for a CD re-release. Why do record companies do this?

I was spinning the "striktly for konnoisseurs" double-vinyl just last night and I thought I needed to know/hear a bit more of Tantrum... amazing song that's featured on that compilation!
best wishes from Spain

This cannot have effect in actual fact, that is what I think.
