After three highly 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 as Atlantis. Frank Diez joined as the new guitarist, and former Emergency drummer Curt Cress replaced Carsten Bohn, who had come from the successful Frumpy days.
The band's eponymous debut album, which Atlantis recorded at London's Island Studios, sold very well in the US, where Rumpf's blues-oriented voice was appreciated. After the recordings, Diez and Cress left the band. Udo Lindenberg and Cravinkel's guitarist George Meier stepped in for a tour with Traffic and Procol Harum.
From then on, Atlantis's personnel carousel was constantly revolving, but this did not hinder their steadily growing commercial success. Albums like "It's Getting Better" (1973), "Ooh, Baby" (1974), and "Get On Board" (1975) are among the milestones in German rock history. In January 1976, Rumpf and Schott announced the band's dissolution.
All four Atlantis studio albums, released between 1972 and 1975 on the Vertigo label, are now available on a compact double CD with extensive liner notes and numerous photos.
