Darker Than Blue RSS- 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 […]
- Bonnet biography on saleThe publishers are now taking pre-orders for Steve Wright’s exhaustive Graham Bonnet biography The Story Behind The Shades, with a September delivery date confirmed. Anyone who orders ahead of then from here gets a bit of a discount too. There is a regular softback, 176 pages (plus 160 rare photos and 170 items of memorabilia!), […]
- U.S. tour set list spoilerThe double-header American tour (dates on the site) kicked off last Saturday, and finds Deep Purple clipping back the set a bit to allow for Alice Cooper (and their crew, and Edgar Winter). They have also dropped some of the new album and the show includes just two numbers from Infinite, one as the first […]
- It’s ArteThat German broadcast of Deep Purple’s current tour from Hellfest is finally on line, you can check it out via the link below. Thanks to Tim Summers for the info. Really well filmed and a pretty decent performance, and great to see Paice back on top form too. http://www.arte.tv/de/videos/076475-000-A/deep-purple-beim-hellfest-2017
- C’mon, let’s go…If Galaxy Quest is one of your rainy Sunday film treats, you may enjoy the trailer/s for a new 2017 US Sci-fi parody series called The Orville. You may even recognise one of the Machine Head classics used as the music for the first one! Thanks to Karl-Heinz Baier for the heads up. Will certainly be […]
- A Fire In The SkyNo, not a story about the upcoming Machine Head book of that name, but the title of a new Deep Purple US compilation (though we do wonder where they got the idea!) due in September, most likely to tie in with the band’s tour there. It’s the first extensive collection for America in a good […]
- South AmericaFive Deep Purple shows over in South America in December 2017 if you fancy a bit of a pre-Christmas break! Added to our date list. Argentina, Brazil (three venues) and Chile. Thanks to Mark Maddock.
