Trapeze – Hot Wire (LP, Album, US, 1974, Warner Bros. Records BS 2828)

Why This Record Matters
Hot Wire captures Trapeze after Glenn Hughes left to join Deep Purple, with Mel Galley taking over lead vocals and guitar. Tracks like “Back Street Love,” “Midnight Flyer,” and “Turn It On” show the band moving toward a funkier hard-rock sound.
