History:

• In December of 1976 Paice Ashton Lord started rehearsing to prepare for touring. Their stage set was built by the person who’d done the stages for The Spy Who Loved Me and they rehearsed at Pinewood Film Studio.
• Jon hit local radion stations in early December to talk about the band.
  • “This new band isn’t going to be Deep Purple Mark 7. It’s NOT an attempt to recreate Purple, it’s a totally new direction for me and Ian.
• They only played a handful of shows ending with Tony falling off stage at the Rainbow Theatre and breaking his leg.
• After the shows Lord and Ashton went to America to promote the album with Warner Bros. before returning to Germany to start work on their second album.
• Ashton: “We went back to Munich to start recording a second album and got some tracks done but the impetus had gone and we never finished the album.”
• Ashton said that he had done vocals on the song Black and White at Abbey Road but the master tapes for the second album went missing and were never found.
• Tony had a monitor mix done on cassette so he could finish the lyrics and still had it. This is what was used as the source material for these tracks.

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reviews

• Drew Thompson on AllMusic 2 out of 5 stars:
  • User rating of 3.5 out of 5.
  • Drew Thompson
  • https://www.allmusic.com/album/trapeze-1975-mw0002562435
  • By 1975, Trapeze were a long, long way from the exquisite pastures of their debut album — and a long way, too, from the days when the Moody Blues could be ranked among their biggest fans, as well as their employers (the band was originally signed to the Moodies‘ Threshold label). But maybe hoping for at least a splash of that old magic to resurface, the band titled its final LP after its first — plain ol’ Trapeze — and the bandmembers did their best to look their imminent demise full in the face. Maybe they didn’t know what fate had in store for them as they recorded this, but Trapeze is still a dour little disc, desperately missing the funk infusions of Glenn Hughes and, for the most part, overshadowed even by its disappointing predecessor. “Star Breaker,” the opening cut, is probably the best thing here; for the most part, though, Trapeze is lumpen rock by rote, dull and dismissed by all but the most desperately faithful.
