Darker Than Blue RSS- Make room…It is the silly season after all. Since 2000, Machine Head (which is on my mind as I am working hard to wrap up the new book!) has been reissued on vinyl by Rhino, EMI, Back to Black, Universal and Warners, in a choice of clear, black or purple vinyl. And those are just the […]
- Sunglasses after darkFor those with long memories, The Javelins release their long awaited (almost twenty five years!) follow-up / difficult second album in late August through Ear Music. This is another 16 track romp through the music of the Fifties and early Sixties. Once again it has been overseen by Steve Morris and features Don Airey guesting […]
- UnveilingMontreux 4th July 2018 – Plaque Unveiling Ceremony at the Former Grand Hotel. Tim Summers has managed to pen us a few words about the event itself, for more see the two posts below… With the proceedings due to kick off at 11 am, we hopped off the train at Territet with about 25 […]
- Montreux ceremonyCouple of photographs from the July 4th Montreux event, kindly sent by Claude’s friend Jean Paul. Jean worked with Claude during the Machine Head sessions, and is on the right in the photo with Roger. The photo below is from outside the former hotel foyer, and shows Gillan and Glover busy signing sleeves. Yvon Welt […]
- Some of us went down…As we post this, Montreux is finally marking Deep Purple’s contribution to the town’s history by erecting a plaque on the former Grand Hotel (11.00am July 4th). This will briefly describe the importance of the building to the Machine Head story in French and English. Unlike the event in 2016 this is a more formal […]
- Down Mexico Way againDeep Purple have added a big tour of Mexico to this year’s schedule, ten dates running through November. It’s quite a relaxed trip in that the dates are spread over twenty days and only two shows are back to back. The image for the shows with them all in arctic gear seems very inappropriate! Thanks […]
- Einem MeisterwerkJust to let people know that there will be a German edition of the Deep Purple book Wait For The Ricochet later this year. Published by Hannibal, it will look very similar to the original, with the same illustrations and format. If anyone is interested, the title can be pre-ordered already from the publisher’s own […]
- Drawing skillsThe researchers for the upcoming Machine Head book have put a call out for a couple of items in case anyone in DTBland can help… [1] Has anyone got a good clean scan of the album review from America’s Creem magazine in 1972? It most likely appeared in the May or June issue but might […]
- Москва́The setlist from Moscow last week gives an idea of the current set of dates: Highway star, Bloodsucker, Pictures of Home, Strange Kind of Woman, Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming, Uncommon Man, Lazy, Time for Bedlam, Birds of Prey, Knocking At Your Backdoor, Perfect Strangers, Space Truckin’, Smoke on The Water – Hush, Black Night […]
- And so Deep Purple beginsWhat did you do at the weekend just gone? Me I walked round to the shops for some bread rolls and a Saturday paper, did a bit of weeding in the garden and gave a talk on pre-War commercial street photography. What did Derek Lawrence do with his weekend just gone fifty years ago? Only […]
