For fans of Chicken Shack, Frumpy, Blues Pills - all four Atlantis studio albums from 1972 to 1976 on one double CD with extensive liner notes, rare photos and memorabiliy - lovingly remastered by Johannes Schreibenreif.After three very successful studio albums and a live double LP, Frumpy disbanded in 1972

Singer and frontwoman Inga Rumpf, keyboardist Jean Jacques Kravetz and bassist Karl-Heinz Schott continued on as Atlantis, with Frank Diez as the new guitarist and former Emergency drummer Curt Cress replacing Carsten Bohn, who had been with the band during the successful Frumpy days.

The self-titled debut album, which Atlantis recorded at Island Studios in London, sold well in the United States, where Rumpf's blues-oriented voice was appreciated. After recording, Diez and Cress left the band. Udo Lindenberg and Cravinkels guitarist George Meier flled in for a tour with Trafc and Procol Harum.

From then on, the Atlantis personnel carousel was in constant motion, but this did not detract from the band's steadily growing commercial success. Albums like "It's Getting Better" (1973), "Ooh, Baby" (1974) or "Get On Board" (1975) are among the milestones of German rock history. In January 1976 Rumpf and Schott announced the breakup of the band.

Now all four Atlantis studio albums, which were released between 1972 and 1975 on the Vertigo label, are available in a compact double CD set with extensive liner notes and many photos.
