Darker Than Blue RSS- Jon Lord-tasticIt’s something of a bumper month for Jon Lord fans with four recent or forthcoming vinyl reissues hitting the shops (well if you can find one – as I write HMV are playing tag with their landlords over rent at some of their stores, and threatening to close some). First up there’s a Concerto vinyl […]
- Righteous daisiesAfter a week or two of speculation it’s been confirmed that Glenn Hughes has joined rock band The Dead Daisies (a sort of collective supergroup formed in Australia back in 2013 who already featured ex-Whitesnake/GH guitarist Doug Aldrich). Glenn let the news slip during a live set at the Stonedeaf festival on August bank holiday […]
- Contracturally ObligedYou need a spreadsheet to keep up with some new releases these days and Ian Gillan’s Contractual Obligation album/s which came out at the end of July is another example, with a Blu Ray, triple vinyl and double CD being on offer. Even the label, Ear, got confused. Because each of the three formats is […]
- Fakes and forgeries for FridayHaving been busy with those fake picture sleeve singles for a few years, the pirate brigade have now turned their attention to a series of fake Deep Purple picture discs. Indeed a trickle has turned into a flood, as people are coughing up $200 and upwards for them. I’m not sure who falls for these […]
- Six-pack WhitesnakeThe previous immersive Whitesnake sets must have worked out as DC has authorised another six pack special, this time for 1989’s Slip Of The Tongue album. I must confess it’s not an album I remember playing much, it didn’t really live up to the 1987 one in terms of sheer wallop for me, but the […]
- Once Upon A Time on vinylPlenty of hype surrounding Quentin Tarantino’s new film Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood, and this story set in Sixties America features plenty of era defining rock tracks, so it’s nice to see Deep Purple get two cuts on the accompanying soundtrack album, namely Hush and Kentucky Woman. I assume they figure in the […]
- In Town Tonight • MontrealPoster sent in by Gary Poronovich for us to check out, from Deep Purple’s 2004 tour, this show in Montreal, August 10th.
- Vox : IGIt looks as if Deep Purple’s new studio album (which rather neatly will be their 21st, it just seems more!) is being planned for 2020. As we reported earlier (Back In The USA) the recording work from the group was completed in Nashville and it looks as if IG (above doing his thing for Rock […]
- Mk 1, 8a and 8b…Just how do we refer to all the various line-ups, and when did the Mk 1, 2 etc. system first appear? Read our article on the site. There is also a great story by Kurt Piepenburg looking back at his days hearing Deep Purple Mk 1 on American radio, and why he thinks they made such […]
- Yngwie does SmokeI sort of feel I ought to mention this, being Deep Purple’s most famous track, but DTB accept no responsibility if you press play! It’s a new album from Yngwie of cover versions. I’m all for people having a go at putting their own spin on things but this is just so stiff and lifeless […]
