Two more shows

from 1971, added to our gig list thanks to a site detailing the history of the Newcastle Mayfair (1961 – 1999). It’s amazing to think of Deep Purple playing in ornate dance venues like this, especially for 90p a ticket! If any of you went to the venue do check the link as there is […]

Purple on black

Three vinyl reissues which may have escaped people’s notice. Flagged up here as DTB Online Store has been able to get more stock of them all at last. Purpendicular came out again in 2011. Slaves & Masters was reissued last year, while Battle Rages On, one of the rarest of the band’s albums in vinyl, […]

Jon looking down…

UPDATE – it is a montage, and was done by David Plaisance, thanks to him for letting us show it. If you missed it (and we did), BBC Radio 4 have extracts from what they say was Jon Lord’s last ever interview available. Rock and Roll in Four Movements was first aired in August 2012 […]

Threesome

UPDATE – Thanks to all who commented. To sum up, the badge on the cabinet reads 100, and was applied to cabs designed to work with four 25 watt Celestion speakers inside. The unit on the right is a Marshall reverb, and he can be seen kicking it on film shot at the Royal festival […]

Wait For The Ricochet

43 today! A forthcoming book which tells the story of one of rock’s greatest albums. Wherever you first came to be aware of Deep Purple, or indeed whenever, Deep Purple In Rock is the reason you were there (whether you knew it or not!). Everything came together for the group during the second half of […]

43 this week

I’ve been listening to Deep Purple In Rock now for 43 years. Not continuously I hasten to add, with an album this venerable it’s important not to over play it. So I like to save it up for a treat when I’m really in the right frame of mind. But even if I’m not blasting […]

News round-up.

A few updates around the site this week… Rod Evans • there’s a live archive Captain Beyond CD due in America, from 1973. Details here. Ian Paice • turns up on the cover of the June 2013 issue of Drum Magazine, check the cover out here. Jon Lord • A link to a special 50 […]

Snippets

Details of the Deep Purple Vincent Price single release have been confirmed. There is a 7″ vinyl edition in a pic sleeve (sadly NOT featuring the dancing nun!) and a 5″ CD. Both formats include the non album cut First Sign Of Madness. The CD also has the promo video for the single which we’ve […]

Pole dancing nuns.

In answer to a few emails, the bonus Now What track It’ll Be Me is a track IG has covered before, back in 1994 on the Javelins CD. Interesting to do a then and now comparison. Less interesting to realise we did that project twenty years ago now… For those wanting a look at the […]

Untitled

Gillan and Paice looked relaxed on the Later with… TV show on Tuesday evening. Jools Holland banged on about the album sleeve for a bit and then (for some reason) asked IG how dressing room riders had changed over the years? This prompted a nice (but barely audible) IG riff about asking for a rhino […]
