Trapeze - S/t CD

Eeppinen albumi. Vuoden 1970 klassikko.
Lemon recordings. Hyväkuntoinen. Vaihdoin vielä kuoret uusiin.
Tunnetusti raitaluettelo eroaa hieman soittonumerosta, johtuen 5-7 raidat ovat samaa...

Trapeze oli brittiläinen rockyhtye. Sen musiikissa oli vaikutteita funkista.

Trapeze perustettiin maaliskuussa 1969. Sen perustajajäsenet olivat Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley ja Dave Holland. Hughes lähti yhtyeestä vuonna 1973 liittyäkseen Deep Purpleen. Galley ja Holland onnistuivat pitämään Trapezen koossa, kunnes Holland vuonna 1979 jätti yhtyeen liittyäkseen Judas Priestiin. Trapeze hajosi pian tämän jälkeen. Holland perusti yhtyeen uudelleen vuonna 1990, mutta se hajosi jälleen vuonna 1994.

Trapeze is the debut studio album by British rock band Trapeze. Recorded in 1969 at Morgan Studios and Decca Studios, it was produced by the Moody Blues bassist John Lodge and released in May 1970 as the second album on Threshold Records, a record label founded by Lodge's band. Trapeze is the band's only album to feature founding member John Jones (vocals, trumpet); both he and Terry Rowley (organ, piano, flute) left shortly after its release. (Rowley rejoined in 1974.)

Contrary to the band's later material, which was primarily categorised as blues and hard rock, Trapeze has been described by commentators as a progressive or psychedelic rock album, owing partly to the presence of brass instruments and keyboards on the album. Songwriting was typically led by Jones, Galley and Hughes, with Rowley also co-writing two tracks. "Send Me No More Letters" was released as the only single from the album in 1969, backed with fellow album track "Another Day".
