Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

RARE & SOUGHT AFTER ... MINTY CLEAN ... ORIGINAL 70's first pressing by this legendary British hardrock band ... their rarest album, "RUNNING" features the ORIGINAL thrilling cover design that was issued NOWHERE ELSE -- only released in GERMANY ....

Includes the original all black inner sleeve

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.
