Glenn Hughes - Play Me Out (1978)

Hughes had originally planned to release a solo album prior to Deep Purple splitting up. David Bowie had been initially lined up to produce the album. Bowie himself had been delving into similar musical territory at the time with Young Americans. However, due to Deep Purple's touring schedule it was impossible for Hughes to find the time to make the album.

After Deep Purple fell apart in 1976 Hughes returned to the album and started recording at the Lee Sound Studio in Pelsall. Hughes’ former Trapeze band-mates Mel Galley and Dave Holland supplied the guitars and drums, respectively for the album and in 1976 Trapeze reunited for a tour. The reunion was short-lived and the US tour was not completed.

Hughes came back to the studio in the autumn of 1976 to make finishing touches to the album, but it was almost a year before the album was released. With the rise of punk rock, it was hard for Hughes to get backing for his record and Play Me Out was initially only released in Germany. It wasn't released in the UK until 1978 where it received little attention and was deleted not long after.
