Details

Long lost collaboration by Glenn Hughes and Robin George, originally recorded in 1989.
Mastered from the original tapes.
A chance meeting between Glenn Hughes and Robin George eventually resulted in an invitation for Glenn to sing backing vocals for Robin and Sean Harris Notorious album, which lead to a full collaboration between Robin and Glenn. The album started life as a solo Robin George record and developed into Overcome, complete with four songs co-written by the pair; Number One, Sweet Revenge, Dont Come Crying, and the title track.
Such was the faith and strength in the new recordings, that a major label deal was struck but fell through, leaving these recordings to languish in the vaults. Glenn is on fine form on the album, and among the 13 tracks of melodic, and occasionally funky, hard rock, one special treat is the track Haunted, essentially recorded by a reformed Trapeze, featuring Dave Holland, Mel Galley and Terry Rowley.
Glenn Hughes has quite rightly been hailed The Voice Of Rock, and for good reason. With a career that kicked off with Mel Galley and Dave Holland in Trapeze in 1970, followed by Deep Purple between 1973 and 1976, Glenn would also form Hughes / Thrall, join Black Sabbath, enjoy a successful solo career, collaborate with artists as varied as Gary Moore, Joe Lynn Turner and the KLF, founding Black Country Communion and California Breed, and fronting The Dead Daisies.
Over the years, Robin George has collaborated with many musical legends, from Led Zeppelins Robert Plant, Thin Lizzys Philip Lynott, Uriah Heeps David Byron, UFOs Pete Way, John Wetton & Asia, Daniel Boone, Raymond Froggatt and the Quireboys Spike.
As a native of Wolverhampton, its no surprise that a musician of Robin Georges caliber would cross paths with local heroes Trapeze.
