Inga Rumpf - Second Hand-Mädchen (1975)

Inga Rumpf ‎– Second-Hand Mädchen 1975
Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold

The first solo album of Inga Rumpf, the one who made the musical revolution in German rock since the late 60s - early 70s in the “Frumpy” and “Atlantis” bands. She was called German Janis Joplin. The owner of a magnificent and inimitable voice, she actually created the image of these groups. In short, the significance of Inga Rumpf for “Frumpy” and “Atlantis” is about the same as that of, say, Rod Stewart for “Faces”. As she herself recalled: “When writing songs, I felt the greatest influence of blues and jazz, which contributed to my musical maturity” ...

Peter Herbolzheimer was a well-known German jazz & jazz rock trombonist, bandleader and arranger. Born in Bucharest, Romania, 31 December 1935, he migrated to Germany in 1951. He then went on to finish High School and a vocational training as a technical draftsman at General Motors in Detroit, USA, before returning to Germany in 1957 to took up music studies in Nuremberg. Originally a guitarist, he switched to trombone. In 1969 he founded his own big band, Peter Herbolzheimer Rhythm Combination & Brass. Peter Herbolzheimer died on Saturday 27.03.2010 in Cologne.

Atlantis was a band formed by ex-Frumpy musicians Inga Rumpf, Jean-Jacques Kravetz and Karl-Heinz Schott, in late Summer, 1972. The initial line-up included guitarist Frank Dietz and ex-Emergency drummer Curt Cress (later with Triumvirat, Passport). The band played a few live gigs in Germany before they recorded their debut in London's Island Studios. The US magazine, Cash Box, compared Atlantis with the Doobie Brothers and praised Inga Rumpf's blues-tinged voice. Shortly before the group went on a four week tour of England with Procol Harum, Traffic, Vinegar Joe and the Sharks, Cress and Dietz left and were temporarily supplanted by Udo Lindenberg and George Meier.

NOISE

Noise is all around you, from televisions and radios to lawn mowers and washing machines. Normally, you hear these sounds at safe levels that don't affect hearing. But sounds that are too loud or loud sounds over a long time are harmful. They can damage sensitive structures of the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss. More than 30 million Humans are exposed to hazardous sound levels on a regular basis. Hazardous sound levels are louder than 80 decibels. That's not as loud as traffic on a busy street. Listening to loud music, especially on headphones, is a common cause of noise-induced hearing loss. You can protect your hearing by Keeping the volume down when listening to music Wearing earplugs when using loud equipment
