Trapeze - Lost Tapes Vol. 2

Trapeze — Lost Tapes Vol. 2

Limited edition clear transparent vinyl double LP

When rock band Trapeze called it a day, they left behind them a series of now classic albums. Their influence on other groups has been immense; individual members themselves going on to join heavy weight rock acts such as Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Judas Priest & Uriah Heep. But their story's not over, as Trapeze — Lost Tapes Vol. 2 continues to prove! Recorded either side of album releases these are great songs, stockpiled, but never released; some with the intention of developing them even further later, as Trapeze hit the ground running, playing live relentlessly; honing their craft while rarely seeing home.

Here too you'll find rare lineups featured — previously only rumored at, often considered fable at best — but now revealed proudly for the first time and given their deserved day in the sun. Hard-wired guitars, wailing synthesisers, rhythm sections that kick-ass then get the funk out, with out-of-sight vocal performances throughout guaranteed. Be that on hard rockers such as "Fighting" and "Loser," ballads like the exclusive early rendition of "Coast To Coast," even near-country rock asides in "Must Be In Love" through to progressive AOR rock explorations on "Welcome To the Real World."

Then of course there's their pioneering brand of funk rock on tracks such as "Can You Feel It?" and "Way Back To The Bone" among others. Plus, the song that tells you exactly what made this English band tick; the heartfelt rush of "Homeland."
