TRAPEZE FEATURING GLENN HUGHES/THE FINAL SWING 6.22122 (-74) GERMANY

 Compilation containing one track from the bands eponimous debute, three from their second "Medusa", three from the third "You Are The Music, We're Just The Band" plus two previously unreleased - "Good Love" and "Dats It" - both including Glenn Hughes, then already a member of Deep Purple. I find this band interesting as one of the forerunners of seventies and eighties hard rock, especially on their second album "Medusa". For more on that and the band please check  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2016/04/trapezemedusa-ths-4-70-uk.html . Since I already have their first three albums, this is a way for me to get the original setting complete with the two previously unreleased songs. Honestly non of them add much to what I knew before - "Good Love" a smooth well-sung ballad and "Dats It" a hard rock instrumental with some nice guitars. Good stuff, but nothing special. More important this is a good and much cheaper vinyl way to get to know the band than to try to find any of their original albums and therefore highly recommended to any student of early hard rock. And it is tickling, at least for me, that the original members of this just one combo came to be members of bands like Deep Purple, Whitesnake and Judas Priest. To my knowledge only issued in US (Threshold THS 11) and Germany. First German had label as shown here in a thin glossy cover. (GÖXÄ*)
