Our Records

Okay, we should have written Our record because for the time being we have only published one recording. But the second is already in production. And the third and fourth will be have been recorded in summer 2021. And the fifth etc will follow in summer 2022. Stay tuned for more!

SOB & the CZYKS

A SOULFUL JOURNEY

From Big Apple to Big Easy

Initially, we only wanted to kibitz a bit and watch/listen during a recording session in a studio. Of course it didn’t end there… So far our only resulted in:

  1. our first LP (actually: our first double LP): A Soulful Journey (from Big Apple to Big Easy) by SOB & the CZYKS;

  2. the need for more and consequently our record label Swingin’ Gate Records;

  3. a vision that became clearer and clearer in the process: a vision on how we wanted to produce our first (and all following) LP, written down as our seven principles;

  4. Know-how, experience and patience, because the actual recording session is just the beginning. All the rest takes much, much longer…

  5. a monster in our listening room, because we needed a tape recorder to play back our master tapes. To make it short: the Studer A80 is at least as big as it is good or at least as good as it is big respectively.

  6. this website, because you need a space to offer your goods if you want more than just produce records.

Of course we’re biased (and hopefully so!) if we’re telling you of the wonderful music and the marvelous sound quality for which we went to great lengths. Now, after we’ve recovered from the first round of applause by non-biased (but critical) ears, we can recommend you our first LP in good faith.

SOB & the CZYKS

A SOULFUL JOURNEY Vol. II

Can’t Stop Loving You on Route 66

“If some is good, then more is better” goes the old adage. And there’s something to it. A lot, in fact. When SOB & the CZYKS recorded their first live2 two track LP, the had a lot of fun. So much fun in fact that they recorded a lot more songs than planned.

For the record: The songs on Vol II are not the leftovers of the original double LP—quite contrary. They were either to good or to original for the original publication. And quite a few music lovers have told us that Vol II is even more rewarding than the first LP.
