WARNING -ZAPP Tastic.......2004-04-02

Heavy on the Funk! These full 12 inch tracks need to be played on a loud bass friendly system. A grower of an album but is totally Zapp, Funky guitars; handclapping drums, Vocoder ( Synthesised voice box ). Purveyors of the original Funk sound, whilst Cameo were still kids or Snoop doggy dog was still a puppy. " I can make you dance " sums up the classic Zapp sound and in the full 12 inch mix - Yummy!
The ballad " Spend My whole Life " is refreshing and wholesome with lyrics like " I'm such a blessed man To have you in my life, I have in life one desire, that desire is to make you my wife." - A soulful lurve song!!
Tut-Tut ( Jazz) is an jazz funk instrumental that in its own way shines out from the album for its clever melody and Jazz guitar! - Warning This track is totally different from the rest of the album.
The Zapp Concept was born out of Dayton, Ohio from 2 brothers, Larry & Roger Troutman and they in turn formed the 10 piece outfit simply known as Zapp.
With only 7 songs you feel a bit cheated but this album is certainly one to add to your existing Zapp or P-funk collection. If Herbie Hancock or Fatback Band are your thang then this Cd will " Make you dance !!

Zapp III...finally on CD.......2003-07-19

Kapp has returned with another review. Folks, this is a great album.Got the original on vinyl, because so far that's the only way it's been available. But, thanks to those German funkateers, it's now on CD for all to enjoy!!

The first two songs are the classics all Zapp fans will know- "Heartbreaker" and "I can make you dance". These are the uncut long versions of these songs, and they are cool to hear in this format, especially Heartbreaker, which has a long instrumental end section with extra synthesizer funk that few have heard.

Then there's "Play Some Blues", which is an underrated Zapp Jam. Roger comes in with a real funky guitar sound on the one, while the lyrics go "Just don't care, what you play, you aint played enough, till you play some blues"...The funky harmonica sound last heard on "Doo Wah Ditty" comes in, and makes this a long lost Zapp jam that, IMO, belongs up there with the rest of them- a real cool song.

Side 2, things slow down. You have the love song "Spend My Whole Life". You then have one of Zapp's most socially conscious songs "We Need the Buck". This is a mid tempo funk jam singing about our government, how they spend lots of money, but not on the common man. This is a good song for anyone who ever thought Zapp was only about party music-they had a real concern for the common working man, which was who their music was always primarily for, they said. Next is "Tut Tut (Jazz)" which is a slow, jazzy instrumental. Roger's guitar sound smooths out on a George Benson-style solo, with smooth background vocals. A very mellow and nice song. The last song, "Doo Wah Ditty Live" is more of a joke-it's a short "skit" of Doo Wah Ditty playing with a "sound effect" audience, while an announcer says that "The chairman of Warner Brothers Records endorses Roger Troutman" Hillarious, and a testimony to the wide recognition the band had gathered by their third hit record. A great slab of 1983 funk. Thanks, German funkateers!
