TRAPEZE - LOST TAPES VOL.1
Released on 24 -11-23
A few words:
Trapeze was a UK rock band formed in March 1969. The band had a fairly fluid line up, finally dissolving in 1991, and although they never found commercial success themselves, several members went on to join better known bands including Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Judas Priest and Uriah Heep.
The core members of the band were Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley and Dave Holland. After Glenn Hughes' departure in 1973 for DEEP PURPLE, Galley and Holland decided to try to keep the band together, which they did with constantly varying line-ups until 1979 when Holland went on to join JUDAS PRIEST. At this point the band broke up. Holland tried to revive the band in 1990, after leaving Priest, but the band finally broke up in 1994. The following 4 albums remain their best known and most commercially successful.
First 1970 - Medusa 1970 - Hot wire 1974 - Hold on 1998.
LOST TAPES VOL.1
The tracks on "Lost Tapes Vol.1" are a collection of previously unreleased Trapeze songs compiled by Tom Galley brother of Trapeze founding member Mel Galley. Before passing away Guitarist Mel Galley did take those tapes to his elder brother Tom's house. There, they — as co-writers of many of the band's best-known songs — would review them, making various decisions that felt right at the time. Mel also had the foresight, to leave them with Tom for safekeeping, so they didn't get lost.The tracks are from various recording sessions, starting in the early 70s until the band's break-up in the 90s.The tracks not only prove how good the various Trapeze line-ups were, but also capture the passion, energy and enthusiasm in the making of the songs themselves."Lost Tapes Vol. 1" contains a total of 14 songs that are just as first-class as the well-known tracks on the band's albums. And some of these tracks will probably become classics in the same way. "Lost Tapes Vol. 1" offers the opportunity to hear Trapeze with all it's original energy, which shows that there was much more untapped potential lying dormant between the musicians involved than had previously been assumed.
BRIAN MAY BACK TO THE LIGHT DE LUXE EDITION 2CD

BRIAN MAY - 1992 BACK TO THE LIGHT DE LUXE EDITION rem. 2021 2cd.
Back to the Light (1992), Brian May’s first solo album allowed May to express himself clearly as a solo artist and not just simply as the guitarist in Queen. However, it also served as a cathartic experience for him and a way to work through the depressionand misery he was facing in the early 1990’s.
The late 1980’s and early 1990’s had been very hard for Brian May: he had recently split up from his wife .The deaths of his father and Freddie Mercury weighed heavily on him and he perceived himself as both a failure of husband and father. Indeed, he has said on many occasions that he felt like suicide during this time in his life.
Brian May described the making of Back to the Light as ‘therapy’ and thus many of the songs are very autobiographical and vocals are emotive and powerful, and you can clearly feel the anguish he is going through in every syllable.
Back to the Light is a fantastic album that chronicles one of the worlds greatest guitarists overcoming his demons.In the latest DE LUXE EDITION are 2 cd's and the album features several significant guest artists as well –
Queen’s John Deacon makes an appearance on bass guitar, as well as Don Airey (Deep Purple) on keyboards,
Cozy Powell (Black Sabbath / Rainbow / Whitesnake), plays the drums on several songs on this record,
and Neil Murray (Black Sabbath / Whitesnake) plays bass as well on a few songs,
both of which would form the backbone of May’s touring band.

At age nine, Kossoff started classical guitar lessons with Blanche Monroe. His classical guitar training continued until he was fifteen. In December 1965 he saw Eric Clapton with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at The Refectory, Golders Green, North West London. This encounter inspired him to purchase a Gibson Les Paul guitar.
In 1966 Kossoff joined the Chicago-style blues band Black Cat Bones. The band played with touring blues piano player Champion Jack Dupree, often supporting Fleetwood Mac and other gigs with Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green.
n April 1968, Kossoff and Kirke teamed up with Paul Rodgers (vocals) and Andy Fraser (bass) to form Free.
Kossoff then assembled a group called Back Street Crawler, which released two albums: The Band Plays On in 1975 and 2nd Street in 1976. Recordings from one of the band's UK concerts in 1975 were first released in 1983 on the album Live at Croydon Fairfield Halls 15/6/75.

JIMMY PAGE - THIS GUITAR KILLS 2003

JIMMY PAGE - THIS GUITAR KILLS 2003 2cd.
This volume of JIMMY PAGE's 60s sessions traces the story from his very first studio recordings -in 1962, as a member of Neil Christian's Crusaders through a maze of hits (Dave Berry. Brenda Lee. Burt Bacharach). near-hits (The Redcaps. Mickey Finn & The Blue Men. Mickie Most) and downright obscurities (Bobby Graham. The Talismen. Vashti) closing on a frighteningly-rare (and equally-magnificent) 1967 French Johnny Hallyday single.
2-CD, forty-three track collection of Jimmy Page's pre-Yardbirds / Led Zeppelin days. Has many good, surprising and lesser-known songs to fully experience. Disc one is material that Page served as a session guitarist for many artists from 1962-64. Liked the hip-sounding "Your Momma's Out Of Town", Chuck Berry's "Talking About You", the Mercybeat-like "Jenny Let Him Go", "Without You" and the happening "Climbing Through" best. Disc two moves forward to the 1965-68 era. Wasn't aware that Page lent a helping hand to so many artists like Mickie Most, Peggy Lee, Jackie DeShannon, Mickey Finn, Dave Berry, Alvin Johnson, Bob Dylan and it looks like one tune by the Stones - "Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind".
Also two Ray Davies tunes that show up, the rarely heard "One Fine Day" and the Kinks standard "You Really Got Me". A rather nifty collection of odds and ends of Page's [seemingly] endless repertoire.Mike Reed.
