S.y.p.h.
Pure Freude Singles
S.Y.P.H. formed in 1977 in Solingen and began playing concerts in nearby Dusseldorf. Initially clearly based on punk, the band's sound quickly developed and became increasingly difficult to categorise. In the intensive years that followed, S.Y.P.H.s productions often featured guests from the Dusseldorf scene around Ratinger Hof or CANs Holger Czukay. This is a collection of the band's early singles: four tracks - including Industriemadchen and Europa - were originally released in 1979 on the EP Viel Feind, viel Ehr. Thirteen further tracks - including Falsche Freunde and Knudelblues II - were released in 1982 as Der Bauer im Parkdeck. Three further songs are unreleased.
