dova Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Anybody Hip to this Set? A groovy dream come true – the complete studio recordings of German bandleader Peter Herbolzheimer – easily one of the funkiest European talents of the 70s! Although Herbolzheimer's got a clunky name, his sound is incredibly fluid and tight – a large group approach to funk that rivals some of the best American work of his time – including classics from Lalo Schifrin, Johnny Pate, and other key maestros of the blacksploitation era. Peter's got a way of taking a large group of players and really making them groove – a sound that's kind of an electrified extension of the styles first laid out at MPS by the Clarke-Boland Big Band, but served up with a hipper, funkier 70s approach to rhythm. Like the CBBB, Herbholzheimer's groups often feature American players – such as Art Farmer on trumpet or Herb Geller on saxes – alongside more familiar MPS talents like Dusko Goykovich on trumpet, Dieter Reith on organ, Ferdinand Povel on flute, Jiggs Whigham on trombone, and Sigi Schwab on guitar – joined by the legendary Sabu Martinez on a few of the best sessions here! The 4CD set is a massive discovery in music – as it features not only Herbholzheimer's Rhythm & Brass albums for MPS and Polydor, but also records under the group names Certain Lions & Tigers and The Galactic Light Orchestra. The package features a whopping 8 albums in all – Soul Condor, Time Travellers Galaxis, Waitaminute, Wide Open, Hip Walk, Touchdown, and I Hear Voices – most of which have never been reissued before – a whopping 61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 http://www.amazon.de/Big-Band-Man-Polydor-Recordings/dp/B00163P9N8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294283296&sr=1-1 didn't get it, myself... not quite to my taste, I'm afraid - but these MPS boxes are nicely done (though if the liners were in german originally, they'll be in german now, as well).

Van Basten II Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) The German Amazon does offer it at a nice price, however international shipping at 14 Euros makes it a no go. Edited January 7, 2011 by Van Basten II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, well, sorry to say but I'm used to that... (not from amazon.de of course, but from anywhere across the pond). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 The trick when you buy foreign is to buy plenty of stuff at the same time, it sweetens the deal shipping wise , of course you have to find enough interesting objets to do so. For the Americans interested on Amazon.com there is a seller Grooves inc which sells it a bit over 40 $ shipping included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
