Darker Than Blue RSS- CD of fameWe covered the shemozzle surrounding Deep Purple’s elevation to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 (“I’m not going if he’s going” etc.), but missed this nice little collectable, a compilation CD featuring the five nominated artists. The cover is great, would have made a nice LP. I don’t know what the tracks […]
- On the drumsExciting news that IAN PAICE is heading up this year’s Buddy Rich Memorial Concerts. The shows take place at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London from May 20th to 25th 2019. There are two shows each evening. The details on their site are a bit confusing, but Ian Paice will be part of the actual […]
- Sharp suitWho is the dude in the sharp suit? It’s Otis Redding. What’s he doing? Trying to get tickets for an Episode Six concert by the look of it! We were looking for the release date of (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay recently, and hadn’t realised it was only issued after his early death […]
- On displayHave we shown this on the site before? A couple of people were discussing it recently as one turned up for sale, so I though it was worth a look. Basically it’s a large in-store display item for the Made In Europe album release. It’s printed on corrugated card and cut out around the logo. […]
- Right To The TopDavid Coverdale is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Slide It In with a slew of editions to suit everyone. Rhino are issuing a 6CD version which bulks out the original 1984 UK and US mixes with “unreleased live and studio recordings, music videos, concert footage, and a new interview with founder and lead singer, David […]
- Wake up callTimothy Campbell has his radio alarm set to Radio 3 of an early morning, and tells me he was woken by the second movement of Jon Lord’s Durham Concerto on Tuesday. Nice to hear it’s still being played and remembered by their programmer.
- Ted and Ian and co.I came across this video of the Gillan number Puget Sound yesterday while I was looking for the studio version to check something (I can’t say what yet!), and it shows Ian Gillan with Ted McKenna (going all sports casual), Chris Glen, Steve Morris and co. grinding through the track live like they mean it. […]
- Ted the McKennaVery sorry to learn of the death of drummer Ted McKenna today. Ted was the drummer on Ian Gillan’s Naked Thunder solo outings during the “between Purple years” in 1990. He also played with Michael Schenker, Rory Gallagher and many others but for me and other older fans, Ted will probably be most fondly remembered as […]
- Phenomena trilogyUPDATE : John Tucker tells me the new CDs slack all the bonus tracks which turned up on previous editions, not sure why! UPDATE 2 : apparently there is a dispute over ownership. The first three Phenomena albums, the brainchild of Tom Galley, have been reissued, I think this is the third time they’ve been […]
- Toys / PramDeep Purple have been dragged into the five year saga of boy band singer / Happy Shopper Frank Sinatra Robbie William’s planned basement pool extensions which neighbour Jimmy Page has gone to court to try and stop, fearing they will damage his Grade 1 listed property next door (see below; nice). There are now allegations […]
