This might be ridiculous as I'm from Germany but I never cared to pick up any of their albums. They were all over the fleas and second hand stores for years but everything I heard of Passport was just plain awful in my ears. Especially Doldingers sax playing has everything I hate about saxofone playing. Also the cover artwork is extra despicable. Can't even tell how many of their albums I saw because they all look similar unattractive.
Anyhow I heard people say Passport has some beats or even decent tracks. I will try again with Passport. What should I pick up next time I run into a german jazz-rock lot on the flea?

Anybody has it?
This applies to a lot of 70s funky fusion imho... especially of the euro variety.
This one has some funkier moments on it..... good for chopping up and has sections that you can play for a few minutes...but still alot of prog experimentalion. Its worth getting if you see it for cheep.
Never heard about those before. They look interesting, except the Doldinger one. I'm not a fan of his playing style on the Passport LPs, but I'm not that familiar with his 60s projects (Motherhood etc.). Maybe I'd like those better.
As said by others, Passport have their moments, but are not essential at all. I've kept a handful of the pre-'75 albums, mostly due to the players. The K. Schulze/W. Schmid/C. Cress combo was solid.
Originally appears on the Negresco OST, which is quite raer.
It??s easier to pick up and more common on the medium-raer S/T Doldinger DLP best of Album with the window cover, from the early 70s, mentioned somewhere above as well.

This does not include any Passport work though, it??s a comp of some earlier Doldinger work and some of the motherhood tracks. Recommended! and IMO vastly superior to any Passport stuff he did later.
That was on the Negresco OST which is very good and very rare. I like Doldingers 60s output and some of his TV and Movie compositions too. He also worked with Ingfried Hoffmann (aka Memphis Black) a lot in the 60s who is my favorite german organist. I think his playing went sour when he started making Fusion music.
His most well known composition here is the theme for germanies most popular and most enduring crime series: Tatort.
Oh, and it has a two-minute break.
Good luck mate.
