Description
I have been an avid collector of vinyl for 30+ years. Now the time has come for me to depart with some items from my beloved collection in order to downsize. Please see my other items if this interests you.
We have here a UK first pressing of the Hughes and Thrall LP by Glenn Hughes of the seminal British progressive funk rock group Trapeze and Rock giants Deep Purple, and Ex Journeymen Guitarist Pat Thrall
This one hardly ever comes up for auction but is a highly sought after Prog/Funk Rock/new wave classic, a true lost gem of an album.
Here's some info from the Hughes and Thrall site;
In 1975, Hughes was voted No.1 bassist by England’s Melody Maker, topping such artists as Jack Bruce and Greg Lake. After leaving Deep Purple, Hughes recorded a solo LP, Play Me Out, released in 1977. Made with one-time Trapeze sidemates Mel Galley and Dave Holland plus guests like Pat Travers, the LP charted high in Japan, Germany and England. Shortly thereafter, Hughes settled in Los Angeles where he could write, relax and wait for the right moment to jump back in.
The result was the formation of the Hughes/Thrall band, and their August 1982 debut album, Hughes/Thrall. Recorded in Los Angeles at Shangri La and United Western studios, the LP was produced by Hughes, Thrall, Rob Fraboni and Andy Johns, who, as either a producer or engineer, has worked with such artists as the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney and Rod Stewart. Hughes/Thrall features eight songs co-written by Hughes and Thrall and one by Hughes. Throughout the LP, Hughes vocally soars through a four and one half octave range and distinctively weaves his bass lines.
The Record: EX ...I have test played this from start to finish. There are a few light surface marks but nothing serious....just a little light crackle here and there. Label has a little spindle wear when turned to the light but this has seen very little turntable time.
Labels are otherwise clean and free from writing / marks
Inner Sleeve is plain white
Outer sleeve is front laminated, matt at the back - grades as an EX, just a few hairline creases here and there.
Spine still nicely readable though has a few light creases
NO splits
NO Writing
NO Ringwear
Beautiful original copy - buy with confidence
Tracks are as follows:
Side 1:
I got your number
The look in your eye
Beg, borrow or steal
Where did the time go
Muscle and blood
Side 2:

Who will you run to
Coast to coast
First step of love

NOTE - I use The Record Collector grading system and will not list anything below a Very Good - for reference this is as follows:
Record Collector's Grading System
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
