Steve Huey called Hold On by Trapeze, reissued on CD in 1998, their
"final proper studio album (and) quite possibly their best, as the group
had perfected the sort of blustery heavy rock that filled arenas in the
mid- to late-'70s." Credit must be given to the late producer of the
Rolling Stones, Jimmy Miller, who smoothed out the gruff sound of a band
like Motörhead, handing that particular group Overkill and Bomber, two
metal classics that would not be the same without the production
maestro's participation. Miller was also involved with the Plasmatics at
this point in time, working multiple projects by influential bands who
may not have had the impact of Jagger and Richards, but were still
musically vital. So, too, with the straight-ahead blues-rock of Trapeze
featuring founding members Mel Galley and Dave Holland. Miller tightens
up their sound and puts it in a very proper setting, Savoy Brown with a
bit of an edge. Mr. Jimmy's appreciation of the fusion of blues and rock
was fundamental to his production style, and though there are none of
his trademark percussion sounds here, extras that frosted the cake for
artists from the Rolling Stones to Johnny Thunders, the three Pete
Goalby originals, and six songs from guitarist Mel Galley play with
briskness and uniform continuity from track to track. The toughness of
"Take Good Care" and "When You Get to Heaven" is matched by the two best
songs on the disc, the poppy title track, "Hold On," and the exquisite
slow sustain of "Time Will Heal." You can hear Bad Company and Humble
Pie in the grooves, the last song reflected in the back cover of a full
moon and clouds against a night sky. It also recalls music Jimmy Miller
created ten years earlier with the Hungarian group Locomotiv GT and Doug
Fieger of Sky (later, the Knack). "Don't Break My Heart" veers off from
Rolling Stones to Free, solid British rock with bite. Hold On by
Trapeze may have a second life as Jimmy Miller's work outside of the
Stones finds renewed appreciation.
