Does anyone have any details on this German LP - tracking listing, label etc? I assume it's a bootleg or at the very least a rip-off release?
All I know is it was issued in Europe only and after The Final Swing (1974) and before Trapeze (1975) - it also features a brave young lady on the cover by the name of Angelika!!
I have had this album for quite some time, I think it is a perfect legitimate release and i look at the cover quite frequently, ha!
If you can take your eyes away from the cover for a minute and turn it over 
What tracks are included on it? Is it like a 'Greatest Hits' or something?
Bottom line - would you recommend buying it?!?!
Now - you can flip the cover over again....enjoy 
The RUNNING album is actually the same as HOLD ON.

You are

The track listing for HOLD ON:
(Aura records AUL 708, England)
Side A:
Don't ask me how I know
Take good care
When you get to heaven
Livin' on love
Hold on
Side B:
Don't break my heart (Same as on Running!)
Running
You are
Time will heal
Can I turn the cover now??
And yes I do recommend it, as it is a good rocking Trapeze album with a great vocalist: Pete Goalby...who later went on to join Uriah Heep and made some good albums with them too!
Come to think of it...where is Pete Goalby now???
Thanks Ad - I'll have to see what Santa brings me this year
By the way, last I read, Pete Goalby was working for a UK guitar manufacturer called Patrick Eggle Guitars and apparently is a very private person who does not want to be contacted about Uriah Heep!!
This album came out with 2 different titles and covers. The more common title is "Hold On". "Running" is the original issue. It came out in Germany in 1978. It later came out in the U.K. as "Hold On" in 1979. It came out as "Hold On" in the U.S. in 1980. The song sequencing is different from "Running" and "Hold On".
I asked Mel Galley about the cover and he said the German record label decided to do it - it wasn't him or the band's choice!
