Darker Than Blue RSS- Rainbow over RussiaAlthough Blackmore has made it to Russia a few times with Blackmore’s Night, they’ve never had him in rock mode, so the announcement of two Rainbow shows over there in April 2018 should go down well. Thanks to Mark Maddock and Mike Richards for the info. Advertisements Filed under: Rainbow, Rainbow
- Here’s one off our new album…Incredibly, Deep Purple have been booked for a BBC Radio 2 In Concert, the first time in 45 years! Unless you count the Kilburn show, but that was a proper concert, this is at the BBC Radio Theatre studios and takes place the day before the first UK show at Birmingham. You can register for […]
- InfinitéFollowing the reinvention of Now What a number of times, Deep Purple are reissuing Infinite as a Gold Edition 10 track CD, with a second CD from the 2017 HellFest festival (mentioned in an earlier posting when some of it was aired on European TV) as the bonus material. The Hellfest set is also issued […]
- FlyerAt the risk of turning into a GH fan site, thanks to Roel Glas in Australia, here’s the A4 flyer put together to publicise the Glenn Hughes Deep Purple tour. We’ve also learned that Glenn “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee” Hughes (as Guitar World insist on calling him!) and his compadre Chad Smith […]
- Overdoing it…Glenn Hughes had to cut short his show in Christchurch last night according to a report in the New Zealand Herald. He’d been suffering with a cold and was about an hour into the concert when he felt too poorly to continue, and was attended by medical personnel. Hopefully he just needs a break what […]
- Warning, contains Georgia!Here’s the Glenn Hughes Purple tribute set from one of the Australian shows on the current your there (Sydney). We’ve nicked it from one of those set list sites but it does tally with other reports. A taster for the shows was aired on local TV and can be seen online here: Not a bad set […]
- Vinyl Guide‘The Vinyl Guide’, a podcast for fans and collectors of vinyl records, interviewed Ian Gillan recently about his records, his time with Black Sabbath, his avoidance of nostalgia and the history and future of the Deep Purple. Ian says they have dates next year and confirms that they have talked about another studio album. He […]
- More GlennBlack Country Communion (see below) also get hefty coverage (and the cover story) in the new issue of Classic Rock magazine (October)) and via a tie-up with their label Mascot, there’s a ‘best of’ cover mount CD as well which acts as a good taster if you’ve not bought the earlier albums. Thanks to Tom […]
- The black crows circleThe fourth Black Country Communion album is due around Sept 22nd on both CD and vinyl (thanks to Tonny Steenhagen for the info.) From the taster track studio video I found on the Ultimate Guitar site (Link below), it seems to be more of the same, and just as Zeppy too (check Joe’s solo out!). […]
- Here’s five discs for ya!I guess it makes sense to mark the occasion, even if I don’t see any mention that it’s the 30th anniversary of the seminal 1987 Whitesnake album. Thirty years ago. Anyhow DC is pushing the boat out with a monster five disc set. The catch is if you bought previous editions (the 25th anniversary edition […]

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?
