Darker Than Blue RSS- PointlessWe do watch the BBC TV quiz Pointless from time to time, er, when time permits. Several people spotted Deep Purple popping up in a question in April 2019 but which has since been repeated; Tim Summers has a freeze frame facility on his digibox and grabbed the shot for us. Contestants had to identify […]
- Just Might nick your posterAlways enjoy anything sleeve art related so appreciate Tonny Steenhagen’s eagle eyes spotting this vintage Fillmore poster recently. Which was borrowed a few years later (circa 1977) for an early Deep Purple bootleg, Just Might Take Your Life, shown below. Not really a surprise that a bootleg label would also steal the cover art, and […]
- Mr. WhooshAnother day, another exclusive limited Whoosh edition with a free t-shirt included. Only this is one you might actually want to wear, being as how it was designed by our resident haute couture specialist Jean-Timothée Summers….

- Mexico waveDeep Purple went ahead with their show in Mexico on the 14th, despite the health risks inherent with all travel at the moment, although I suspect they were well isolated from start to finish. However it went ahead without Don Airey, although no reason was given at the time of posting this except to say […]
- Smile pleaseWhat can we say? Simon does own a few vintage enamel signs and spotted this for sale a little while back. As it was the thick end of £700 he passed on it : “I seem to remember blogging one of these in an old issue of the fanzine which we spotted in York museum’s […]
- Whoosh!UPDATE – Record Store Day has been put back to late June due to current health crisis. Original story below. Record Day is fast approaching (April 18th) and fans in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland will have the chance to grab an exclusive ten inch vinyl special from the new Deep Purple album at participating shops. […]
- Kapow!Well, we were going to post an official link to Google Play who were trailing 30 second audio clips of all the tracks on the new Deep Purple album a couple of days ago. Some people were very much in two minds whether to listen to just clips, but as folk dithered they all suddenly […]
