| Artist: Trapeze Title: The Final Swing Date: 1974 Label: Threshold / London Records THS 11 Design and Artwork: Bob Norrington Photography: Karl Dunn
Notes: Early progenitors of the power trio format Trapeze produced three fine albums. They were a little unusual for the fact that the front man was the bass player. But what a bass player he was. Moving on to play for Deep Purple when the opportunity presented itself, Glenn hit his stride. The songs here are some of his strongest. Angst ridden teen with a good case of depression looming? Put on "Black Cloud" and sing with the record at the top of your lungs a few dozen times and see if that don't exorcise the beast. And you even get Rod Argent playing some electric piano on the cut "Coast to Coast". Old time circus performer on the cover makes us want to swing along as well.
Line Up: Glenn Hughes: bass and piano, all vocals
