Red color 500 copies limited edition.
Back in 2004, Vampisoul was extremely honoured to play a role in the return to recording of the legendary Joe Bataan,
which fully materialized in the lauded 2005 album "Call My Name", written and produced by Daniel Collás. But first came
out the preview 45 'Chick-A-Boom' / 'Cycles Of You', which quickly became a DJ favourite and guaranteed dancefloor
filler, long out of print until now. Let's hear Collás explain how it all happened:
"This whole project grew out of a song called 'Cycles of You', which I had written around 2000-2001 with the guitarist
and bassist of my band at the time, Easy. The chord progression and vocal melody really reminded me of Bataan, and it
occurred to me that it wouldn't be impossible to get him into the studio to do a guest vocal if we ever recorded it. I
had met Bataan a few years before at a small, family-reunion style show at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in my neighborhood,
where he not only still sounded great, but was also gracious and easy to talk to.
"By the time we got around to recording with Easy, the band was about to break up but we still had the studio booked. We
all agreed that we didn't want to continue as a band, but at the same time, it would be a shame to never record what we
had been working on. Around this time Bataan was playing out again, so I went to the show to see him and find out if
he'd be interested in doing some vocals with us. He was agreeable, so we decided to turn it into a Joe Bataan session
and do 'Cycles of You'. The funny thing is, 'Chick A Boom', a live favourite with Easy, was hastily added so we could
have a B-side, but it ended up chosen to be the A-side of the single."
