I'm a big fan.

Saw Television once in 1978 at the Bottom Line in NYC. Had not heard them before and it was beyond jaw dropping. Great venue also that is, alas, no longer.

Some of the Richard Lloyd stuff is great, too, like Alchemy.

My used record shop averages $5 an album, this was $9. Now I know why, it was a hell of an album.

My parents bought me this for Christmas when it came out. Used to listen Footstompin music on WLS - AM.
I finally got to meet Don Brewer and have my pic taken with him at a show in 2003.
Very nice guy.
I still have this record, as well as all of their others. These guys rocked "back in the day".

Quote

Trapeze were an English rock band formed in March 1969, by vocalist John Jones and guitarist/keyboardist Terry Rowley (who named the band), with guitarist Mel Galley, singer/bassist Glenn Hughes, and drummer Dave Holland. The band had a fairly fluid line up, finally dissolving in 1994, and although they never found commercial success themselves, several members went on to join better known bands, including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake, Judas Priest, and Uriah Heep.

The core and most familiar line-up of the band was Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley, and Dave Holland. After Glenn Hughes' departure in June 1973, Galley and Holland kept the band together with constantly varying members until 1979, when Holland went on to join Judas Priest. Holland tried to revive the band in 1990, after leaving Priest, but the band finally broke up in 1994. Their first three albums remain their best known and most commercially successful. Trapeze is the 1970 debut rock album by the band Trapeze. The album was produced by John Lodge, of Moody Blues fame. The sound on this particular album is a far cry from the blues-based hard rock the band would become well-known for.

The black cover debut album was produced by John Lodge and does have a Moody Blues feel to it. I saw them live one time when they opened for the Moodies at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis in 1971 or 72. Medusa is a more hard rock sound than their debut although John Lodge produced it to. The two albums are quite different. If you like any of the bands mentioned above that the 3 core members later joined, then I think you would like Trapeze.

Very impressed that Trapeze has made it into your collection Laura

They never troubled the UK charts, nevermind overseas.

Thanks Davey. As far as I know, they never had commercial success. I became a fan when I heared them open for The Moody Blues who remain one of my 3 favorite bands of all time. I've lost count of how many times I have seen the MB live, but it is between 16 & 18. Hayward, Lodge & Edge our touring the US this summer and I have tickets to see them at Red Rocks outside Denver and in Spokane.

BTW, my good friend an Daedalus Speakers' designer and builder, Lou Hinkley is in the London area and will be attending an audio show in or near Heathrow. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=92563.0

Best,
