Play Me Out: Expanded Edition

Play Me Out: Expanded Edition

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. Glenn Hughes first came to prominence in Trapeze, a band featuring future Whitesnake guitarist Mel Galley, and future Judas Priest drummer, Dave Holland. With third album, You Are The Music, We're Just The Band (1972), Trapeze appeared to be on the brink of a major Stateside breakthrough, where they'd been building a large and loyal following. However, in 1973 Glenn was offered the golden opportunity to play bass and sing with Deep Purple, joined by David Coverdale for Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste The Band. Deep Purple eventually split in 1976, with it's members following various solo and side projects. The first fruits of Glenn's post Purple career appeared with Play Me Out, issued in July 1977. In many respects, this album is the logical progression from the soul, funk and R&B influences Glenn brought to the three LPs he recorded with Purple. Although Trapeze enjoyed a short lived reunion in 1976, his bandmates did lend their support to the recording of Play Me Out, joined by Pat Travers on guitar and future Thin Lizzy drummer Mark Nauseef, the original album ends with the single 'I Found A Woman'. The album is now augmented with a second disc of bonus tracks, these include 'Smile', 'Getting Near To You' and 'Fools Condition' from 1978, originally recorded for the follow up to Play Me Out, and 'Take Me With You' and 'She Knows', recorded by Glenn in 1994. Also featured is the disco-era mini-album Four On The Floor, originally released by Casablanca (home to both KISS and Donna Summer) in 1979. The expanded booklet features liner notes by Classic Rock magazine's Malcolm Dome based on new interviews with Glenn.
