Synod After All Is Said And Done

Synod was a band that performed at concerts and dances, festivals, colleges, private parties, conferences and other venues from 1971 through 2013. They toured incessantly in the early years, traveling from Chicago in Illinois to New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Nebraska and seven other states. They performed at Chicagofest, Summerfest and everywhere they could find a stage. The recordings in this collection represent some of the 12 recording projects they did, primarily between 1972 and 1984.Synod came to our attention about three years ago when we discovered their single 'Future Shock'. We were working on the ninth edition of the 'Praise Poems' compilation when we started looking for the band. After a few months we were finally successful and 'Future Shock' was released shortly afterwards on 'Praise Poems 9'.The band drew our attention to another single they had released in 1979. When we heard 'Sheryl Song Is Gonna Do My Dancing' we immediately fell in love with it. But it got even better! Synod sent us several dozen unreleased songs, all recorded between 1972 and 1984, originally intended for release on several album projects that never materialized.Next we released 'Anchors Away' together with 'Sheryl Song' on a 7' single. Two more songs, this time nasty garage rock ('Places to Do' and 'Creatures of Habit'), were immortalized by our label mates at 'Perfect Toy Records' on their 'Down & Wired' compilation series as well as on a 7' single. Another track, 'You Shake Them Things', was included on our disco/modern soul compilation 'Can You Feel It Vol.4'.After Tramp Records & Synod released all previously unreleased album projects digitally in 2024, the idea was born to immortalize a carefully selected choice of songs on vinyl LP. We here at Tramp Records are mega proud to present you this amazing selection under the title 'After All Is Said and Done'.Key selling points:- limited to 500 copies- deluxe gatefold vinyl LP with a detailed biography and unseen photographs- incl.
