Deko Entertainment will reissue Trapeze’s 1970 self-titled debut album in October as a limited 180-gram blue-vinyl edition. The release revives a record that has not been available on vinyl since its original pressing, highlighting the British band’s early psychedelic and progressive sound before its later hard-rock influence.
Only 500 copies will be pressed worldwide, each newly remastered and supplied with a designed inner sleeve. The original line-up included Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley and Dave Holland, who later joined Deep Purple, Whitesnake and Judas Priest respectively; the album was produced by John Lodge of The Moody Blues.
In short
- Trapeze’s 1970 debut returns on blue vinyl in October.
- Only 500 remastered copies will be produced worldwide.
- The album predates members’ later careers in major rock bands.
Explained simply
Trapeze was a British rock band whose self-titled debut album was released in 1970. The group is chiefly remembered for its members, who went on to join some of the most prominent rock bands: Glenn Hughes later joined Deep Purple, Mel Galley joined Whitesnake, and Dave Holland joined Judas Priest.
The album featured an experimental rock style and was produced by John Lodge of The Moody Blues. It has not been available on vinyl since the original pressing in 1970.
This long absence from the vinyl format is what makes a reissue significant for collectors and fans. The release is limited to 500 copies on blue vinyl and newly remastered, making it a notable event for enthusiasts of classic rock.
