~ RARE GERMAN ONLY RELEASE ~
70's HARD ROCK COLLECTIBLE
TRAPEZE
RUNNING
GERMANY - SHARK - 5976
RARE...MINT ... ORIGINAL 70's first pressing = still in the original factory EXPORT cellophane wrapper ...stone MINT ... featuring the ORIGINAL thrilling cover design -- only released in GERMANY ....
The final proper TRAPEZE studio album (and) quite possibly their best, as the group had perfected the sort of blustery heavy rock that filled arenas in the mid- to late-'70s. Credit must be given to the late producer of the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Miller, who smoothed out the straight-ahead blues-rock of Trapeze featuring founding members Mel Galley and Dave Holland. Miller tightens up their sound and puts it in a very proper setting, Savoy Brown with a hard edge. Included are three Pete Goalby originals, and six songs from guitarist Mel Galley play with briskness and uniform continuity from track to track. The toughness of "Take Good Care" and "When You Get to Heaven" is matched by the best song on the album, the title track "Running" ... Trapeze had a second life as Jimmy Miller's work outside of the Stones finds renewed appreciation.
Even without Glenn Hughes, who left for Deep Purple, TRAPEZE proves on RUNNING that they were really a gifted band. The Lp sounds fresh, emmotive, and hard. New vocalist Pete Goalby (who would later join Uriah Heep ) fits perfectly and even contributes with three songs (one-third of the album). Mel Galley's guitar is still great and sharp. Dave Holland's drumming is excellent ....The album is sheer hard rock with a tuneful melodic edge. Pete Goalby is a great singer, and here he is replacing Glenn Hughes, not an easy task.
All the songs flows effortlessly, this album is very pleasant to listen.
"Running" may rank as the album's most driving rock song, dotted with creative harmonies and trading of vocal lines between Galley and Goalby. "You Are" shows that Goalby can sing with feeling and features more high range harmonies from Mel Galley. Fans of Galley's singing will be interested in "Time Will Heal," a pain-soaked, slow blues number that puts him at the lead microphone. Dave Holland's drumming is also much more inspired and imaginative than it would become when he went on to Judas Priest.
