Tramp - Put A Record On (Reissue) (1974/2007)

Five years later, Spark Records invited Hall and Branning to record another album under the auspices of Tramp. They immediately agreed and began to recruit musicians. Oddly enough, despite all the upheavals over the five years since the debut album was recorded, especially in the ranks of Fleetwood Mac, we managed to assemble the entire original Tramp lineup, which was supplemented by saxophonist Dave Brooks from Manfred Mann and percussionist Ian Morton. The album was entitled "Put A Record On". It was recorded on January 9 and 10, 1974 at Denmark Street Studious and was released that year. The album included quite a variety of compositions: from stylizations for pre-war archaic to funk. The blues was certainly present here, but clearly did not prevail. The album was built on the interaction of the piano and saxophone. The guitar here did not play a leading role. It turned out quite an interesting live recording, in its compositions each of the project participants fully managed to demonstrate their musical abilities. In this composition, the group lasted until March 1974 and even gave several concerts in support of the album.
