With their unpredictable live performances and songs like "Zurück zum Beton" (Back to Concrete) and "Industriemädchen" (Industrial Girl), S.Y.P.H. caused a sensation in the late 1970s – as one of the bands around Düsseldorf's Ratinger Hof that began writing German lyrics. From the very beginning, the band broke with genre-conformist expectations, making music that drew on rock, punk, and Kraut as well as the unbridled nature of Dadaism and the reality of current events. After the first album and several singles (re-released on Tapete Records in December 2024), the band produced two more albums – Pst and S.Y.P.H. (Album 4) – together with CAN's Holger Czukay. Produced between 1978 and 1981, both albums were released alongside Tapete Records, along with a collection of previously unreleased rarities – Punkraut 1978-1981. This compilation features rare and previously unreleased recordings from the first three years of the band's history: the songs "Blech" and "Mondpogo," performed live at S.Y.P.H.'s first concert in Düsseldorf's Carsch-Haus in 1978, and five recordings made in Solingen between 1978 and 1979. There are also three studio recordings from Hamburg's Container Studios in December 1981—recordings from a time when "the band had definitively said goodbye to punk as a musical genre, as well as to the influence of interim producer Holger Czukay, and had found a completely unique style."
