Deep PurpleBesprekingen

The metal band's sixth album (Purple, 1972).

B (Good).

The songs aren't great, but it's an enjoyable album. Dumb fun.

Today’s selection from “1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die” by Robert Dimery. Contains that mainstay of Classic Rock radio "Smoke on the Water". Never really the kind of music I care for. The best I can say is it didn't quite give me a headache.

Mostly for Woman From Tokyo, but this is some pretty high-steppin' stuff.

INFORMATION-This album contains the following tracks:
1 Space Truckin' (Ritchie Blackmore / Ian Gillan / Roger Glover / Jon Lord / Ian Paice), 4:31
2 Kentucky Woman (Neil Diamond), 4:44
3 Hard Road (Wring That Neck) (Ritchie Blackmore / Jon Lord / Ian Paice / Nick Simper), 5:11
4 Burn (Ritchie Blackmore / David Coverdale / Jon Lord / Ian Paice), 5:00
5 Woman from Tokyo (Ritchie Blackmore / Ian Gillan / Roger Glover / Jon Lord / Ian Paice), 5:30

10 Son of Alerik (Ritchie Blackmore), 10:07

Also includes much the same set from the London Hard Rock Cafe earlier in 2006, I like that version better. A good dvd of what is still a great band although the vocals are clearly not what they used to be.

Piano/vocal arrangements for 10 songs from the Deep Purple album 'Come Taste The Band'. Includes 7 pages of b&w photos.½

Single stave arrangements for 24 songs from the Deep Purple albums 'Machine Head', 'Fireball' and 'Deep Purple In Rock'. Includes a chronology and many b&w photos.½

Single stave arrangements for 7 songs from the Deep Purple album 'Who Do We Think We Are' plus live photos by Fin Costello and a selection of music press quotes about and by Deep Purple.½
