Deep Purple • Perfect Strangers live (Japan import)

A deluxe Japanese limited edition of this title has been issued over there. It includes the audio CD, DVD and vinyl (stretched over three discs rather than two as elsewhere) in a clam shell box.  There is also a replica of the original crew / band plastic tour pass, and of the Japanese tour programme. The box front is essentially the same but with the “logo” across. The vinyl however has a very nice gatefold cover design.  There is a bonus track in Japan, which is a version of Highway Star recorded at the second Sydney show in the 13th (which naturally asks questions about why the EU special editions didn’t also include this). The pack shot is shown below.  There are a few sites which specialise in importing Japan only releases, we tend to recommend CDJapan, but be prepared to upload your wallet!  DTB Online store cannot stock this title.

The original news page about the European release has now been incorporated into a Review on the site.
