Trapeze is the 1976 self-titled album by Trapeze. (It is also the title of their 1970 debut album! …confusing) Trapeze, the group that first introduced us to the extraordinary talent of vocalist and bassist Glenn Hughes. Developing a fervent fan following, especially in the USA, this killer power trio specialised in a brilliant mash-up of hard rock and funk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glen Hughes First Incarnation,
I’m a huge Glenn Hughes fan. This recording is the first Trapeze work. The style is much different from the next two Trapeze works with Glenn Hughes. The sound is similar to early Moody Blues. the production is very 60 Psychedelic. If you are a Glenn Hughes Fan, this Trapeze work is a must for your collection. It probable one of the hardest recordings to find and in the very short future, it may be gone for ever. This recording doesn’t display where Glenn is now, but where be began.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original Trapeze,
Trapeze used to back-up Moody Blues and in fact did so in Oklahoma City back in the late 60s or early 70s. I discovered Trapeze on an underground rock station in Oklahoma City and after hearing the track “”Suicide”” introduced by DJ Sam Stone I was hooked. When Medusa came out I was hooked for life.

5.0 out of 5 stars The good rock of the past,
Glenn Hughes is the voice of rock, you will understand……

5.0 out of 5 stars Hadn’t heard this in 20 some odd years…,
If you want real rock-n-roll, here it is. Those were the days.

Wolverhampton, England hard rock outfit Trapeze formed in 1968, teaming lead vocalist John Jones and guitarist/keyboardist Terry Rowley with singer/guitarist Mel Galley, bassist Glenn Hughes, and drummer Dave Holland. Signing to the Moody Blues’ Threshold Records imprint, Trapeze issued its self-titled debut album in 1970; in 1970 the remaining trio resurfaced with Medusa. The group toured extensively both at home and abroad, and although their fusion of rock and funk was cited as a prime influence on bands like ZZ Top, their commercial success was minimal. In the wake of the third Trapeze album, 1972 You Are the Music…We’re Just the Band, Hughes replaced Roger Glover in Deep Purple. Guitarist Rob Kendrick and bassist Pete Wright signed on for Trapeze 1974 effort Hot Wire, followed a year later by a self-titled LP; in 1976, the core trio of Galley, Hughes, and Holland reunited, although no new recordings were forthcoming. Hughes again exited prior to 1978 Hold On, which featured Wright in addition to new guitarist Pete Goalby; Trapeze then disbanded, with Galley joining Whitesnake (and, later, Black Sabbath), while Holland tenured with Judas Priest. Galley, Hughes, and Holland reformed once more in 1991.

There was a brief reunion of the original 3-piece lineup in 1976. Glenn Hughes, having just left the then disbanded, DEEP PURPLE, reformed TRAPEZE – it was to be a full-fledged reunion with an album of new songs to be released, followed by a World Tour. In the end, a handful of North American dates were successfully completed under the banner, The Appreciation Tour. The expected album was later released as a Glenn Hughes solo album entitled, Play Me Out, two songs of which were included in this tour’s setlist, LA Cut-Off and Space High.
