Glenn Hughes - Play Me Out (Expanded Edition)

Glenn Hughes, �The Voice Of Rock�, 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 its 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. �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.
