Trammps 'Where The Happy People Go' Finally On CD

[Disco Funk]

I just learned that the 1975 album 'Where The Happy People Go' by The Trammps has finally been released on CD. Collectables has been putting out Philly Soul CDs recently (the Blue Magic albums), and so I'm hoping they will get out more Philly albums including the other Trammps LPs onto CD. The only albums that have been available on CD by them were the Zing Album, the Golden Fleece album, Disco Inferno, and Disco Champs (featured remixes of the Golden Fleece LP tracks).

Have you had good luck with stuff from Collectables? I bought two CDs released by them and promised myself it would never happen again. What they did to DiscoTex & The Sex-O-Lettes "Get Dancin" lp was unforgivable. :x

It varies. I know their earlier releases (i.e. early 90s) were sketchy in quality. The Ripple CD was pretty bad quality. Same with the Ruby Andrews CD, which I took back to the store. But in the last decade or so they've cleaned up their act. Most of their stuff has sounded good. I bought their stuff cheap from oldies.com. They sometimes have the Collectables CDs at less than half the suggested retail price.

I think Warner Music owns the Collectables label now, so the people making the CDs have access to the original tapes rather than using scratchy vinyl.

I gotta get this Trammps reissue! I got one of Collectables' 2-in-1 Herbie Mann CD sets a while back and that was quite well done; from the masters as far as I could tell..

Found out that Collectables also released a couple of Kleeer's albums ("Winners" and "License To Dream") at the same time as this Trammps album..

Just to let you know, most of the stuff the independant record company Collectables is getting is from the Warner, Atlantic, and Elektra vaults. These CDs are remastered by WEA and not Collectables. Surprisingly, Rhino which was created by WEA is not handling these CDs because Collectables bid on the distribution of these. Collectables is an internet retailer and mail order house.
Spy and Wounded Bird records have also reissued WEA product. The quality is pretty much the same with the 3 companies in regards to the WEA product.

How many and which Blue Magic Albums did Collectables realease??

They've reisssued everything up to and including Thirteen Blue Magic Lane. I wish they had gone up to Mystic Dragons, because that's a great album. Maybe that'll be part of their next batch. One album I don't think they will be releasing is Magic Is Back, as it is a Capitol album. That album seems to be bloody hard to find and expensive.

As far as I can tell, none of the CD reissues include the Tom Moulton remix of 'Magic of The Blue'.

Thanks DiscoFunk.

I guess it is their 1st three albums, then.

Being a philly soul fan, I like Blue Magic a lot... specially

SIDESHOW
WELCOME TO THE CLUB
THE LONELIEST HOUSE ON THE BLOCK... but this one was a big hit here with Little Anthony & The Imperials around 1973/74 also in a philly soul style with Vince Montana' xylophone and everything...

Does anyone know if Collectables has a web-site??

Oldies.com is the website they list on their CDs, so I assume that the online retailer is also the manufacturer of the Collectables catalog.

Collectables does not manufacture presently. They just distribute and market these titlles.

Isn't the remix of this cut on 13 Blue Magic Lane? I'm listening to it now. It opens with the house band playing the melody and the strings joining in. There's no vocals except for the line "Magic Of The Blue...Captivating You" two times and repeated after each instrumental. Toward the end the boys sing "Seconfd To None, Number One...Second To None Just Having Fun, then back to "Magic Of The Blue..." til fade out. I always wondered if there was a vocal version of this song

You're right! The CD reissue, according to allmusic, has the 5 1/2 remix on it. The original LP only had a 2 or 3 minute version.

The original LP Thirteen Blue Magic Lane includes the 5:33 version of Magic of the Blue, which LP has the 2-3 minute version on it?
The Blue Magic LP entitled The Magic of The Blue (this is the LP with Three Ring Circus on it) doesn't even include a song named Magic of the Blue

Also the only album I have that was released on Capitol was called "Welcome Back" is this the LP you're talking about? or was there another on Capitol?

Magic of the Blue is 5 minutes on the original LP too? That's weird. When I put the 13 Blue Magic Lane LP onto CDR a few years ago, I extended "Magic of The Blue" because the song was too short. I distinctly remember taking the intro and repeating it somewhere in the outro just to get it a little longer than the 3 minutes or so that it was. I'll have to dig out the LP again and make sure. Maybe they reissued the record with the extended mix in later pressings, like they did with the Mahogany sountrack and that song Erucu, or the John Davis LP Ain't That Enough and the title song (6 minutes originally, 9 minute 12" remix appeared on later pressings).

Yeah, it was Welcome Back. My bad on confusing the name!

I couldn't find the original record, but I found the version that I put onto CD-R, and even with the re-editing, it squeaks by at just over the 3 minute mark. There's no way I would have edited it to be longer had it been 5 minutes in length, unless I wanted to make it 6 or 7 minutes to fill out left over CDR space. But to edit it down and then extend it...?
