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.
