Darker Than Blue RSS- Men In BlackIsh. One of the nice things about Deep Purple having a bit more time off this year is it means they can do other things, and some of them have been treading various red carpets over the last couple of weeks, albeit not getting quite the coverage in Grazia that others do as a result. […]
- In Town Tonight • WoodfordJune 4. 1969. Episode Six – Ivy Lodge Club, Woodford, North East London Fifty Years On! This former Victorian lodge was owned by the church next door and turned into a youth club, which began hosting discos and live music in 1965. These got so popular that the two living rooms were knocked through to make a […]
- New and oldGlenn Hughes’s promoters have been swift to reorganise his cancelled UK tour, with some dates rescheduled, and some alternatives where venues were not available. Dates are on the 2019 concert diary page. Thanks to Tim Summers.
- Vorwärts mit RitchieFans moaning about the recent new Rainbow tracks only being issued as downloads can sort of calm down as they now plan to round the iTunes MP3s up on a CD EP called Rainbow Vorwärts. BUT so far it will only be sold at upcoming Rainbow shows, which rather rules out a large chunk of any potential […]
- Glenn delaysGlenn Hughes has delayed the second leg of his “Plays Deep Purple” British tour due to begin on May 14th (tonight) as he needs medical treatment, but a statement from his website says that while this is urgent he should be back on the road again before very long, and the tour will be rescheduled. […]
- Back in the USADeep Purple are currently hunkered down in Nashville working on their next studio album, using the same set-up as for Infinite (released in April 2017). The band had a pre-recording writing session in a big studio in Germany in February (see photo above; no idea what they used the cherry picker for!)). It’s early days […]
- Liverpool StadiumI do like it when people take the time to write with their recollections of seeing Deep Purple in the olden days (if anything it doesn’t make me feel so old!); recently I was exchanging emails with a woman who saw them at Walthamstow Tech in 1970 who told me of fans being passed back […]
- Concerto Five OYou see, a nice poster design says it all, no need to add anything. Well done whoever designed this and carefully referenced the original typography and colouring.Tickets are on sale now, goodness knows what a plane ticket to Quebec costs but it must be tempting. Thanks to Nicholas Houle, programme co-ordinator.
- SSTCThe ultimate Whitesnake collectable? One of the classic rock sites has reported David Coverdale’s Incline Village home up for sale for a few dollars short of $10,000,000. Sale is being handled by Chase International (motto “If you need to ask the price you cannot afford it”), but when I went to check their website out […]
- Rare breedI’ve no idea what to make of this, but it’s on the iTunes website as a five minute download available from April 26th, so make sure you have 99pence in your Apple account ready! Though I suspect anyone hoping for an awesome remix off the first album is going to be disappointed. And why had […]

Hi Simon!
Sorry for posting this here but would you mind taking a look at that small peculiarity that I’ve recently uncovered and posted on fb?
Thanks!

The vinyl box of MIJ just has a paperback version of the hardback book featured in cd box set. No tour program or family tree. Three gatefold sleeves, which are great, 3 vinyl set of each night. BackToBlack have done a fantastic job of the pressings themselves, the sound great.

Hi. I’ve trawled everywhere but I cannot find an answer to this. Does the 9 LP box version of Made In Japan have the memorabilia as listed on most sites? The tour programme in particular? I don’t think it does from the photos I’ve seen. I’d like the stuff and vinyl, but would have to get the Cd box for that. I already have a blu-ray version.

We never got to see inside the various editions Nigel, and this mass of material was so poorly handled and confused I couldn’t give you a definitive answer. Anyone out there with the vinyl set help?
