The Very Best of Deep Purple [Rhino] by Deep Purple (CD - 05/09/2000)
"The Very Best of Deep Purple [Rhino]" (05/09/2000) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, Warner Bros. Records (Record Label)Deep Purple: Ian Gillan (vocals, harmonica, congas); Tommy Bolin (vocals, guitar); Jon Lord (vocals, keyboards); Glen Hughes, Nick Simper (vocals, bass); David Coverdale, Rod Evans, Joe Lynn Turner (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse (guitar); Roger Glover (synthesizer, bass); Ian Paice (drums). Producers: Deep Purple, Derek Lawrence, Martin Birch, Roger Glover. Compilation producers: David McLees, Simon Robinson. Includes liner notes by Greg Burke. Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (DigiPrep). Composers: David Coverdale; Ian Gillan; Jon Lord; Ritchie Blackmore; Roger Glover. Personnel: Ian Gillan (vocals, harmonica, congas); Jon Lord (vocals, keyboards); David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Rod Evans, Nick Simper (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore, Steve Morse (guitar); Roger Glover (synthesizer); Ian Paice (drums). Audio Remasterers: Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot. Rhino Records first attracted notice for its ability to assemble good, well-thought-out, best-of and greatest-hits compilations of acts who had enjoyed a chart placement (or two) without ever getting a proper hits package from their own labels; a little later Rhino started their "Very Best Of" series, which managed to be medium-weight but pretty thorough overviews of a lot of major acts (especially in R&B) from the past that needed a fresh look. But in 2000, when they released The Very Best of Deep Purple -- a band that needed no helping hand in the exposure area -- in conjunction with Warner Archives, that was something new for the company. And damned if Deep Purple and their fans, casual or serious, didn't benefit stunningly from Rhino's usual excellence on this CD. For one thing -- and this is pretty amazing -- this disc, with nearly 80-minutes of music, was the most thorough and thoughtful overview of the band's work ever released in the United States; EMI may have come close in England with Singles A's & B's but the sound here is better, to put it mildly. It's not just that Bill Inglot's tape research and engineering are very good -- it's that the sound here is so rich and resonant (as well as -- natch -- loud), that even original lead singer Rod Evans is finally shown at his best, doing what amounted to heavy metal "crooning" next to Ian Gillan's rock-god shrieks. What's more, with the sound as clear and crisp as it is here, one even gets to hear the action on Jon Lord's savage organ cadenzas, which are in-your-face along with Ritchie Blackmore's early but ever-bolder guitar attacks, and one gets some idea of what that version of the band at its best could do. Ian Gillan's arrival and the single "Black Knight" switch the balance away from Lord's classically based experiments in favor of loud, crunchy hard rock, and it's only a step from there to "Speed King," where this band really showed what it was capable of. Even with the volume turned low, you can hear the action on Lord's organ keyboard on "Child in Time," everything else -- including Gillan's falsetto cry -- is close enough to jolt even the most jaded listener -- even 30 years after its release. Mostly it's that classic 1969-73 lineup that's featured, with a two-song acknowledgement of the David Coverdale lineup, and the CD closes with the classic lineup on "Knocking at Your Back Door" from their 1980s reunion. Designed to complement, not compete with, the four-disc box set Shades (1968-1998) that Rhino released the prior year, this is one compilation that will impress hardcore, longtime fans, even as it whets the appetite of new listeners. ~ Bruce Eder & Heather Phares

This Time Around: Live in Tokyo '75 by Deep Purple (CD - 09/11/2001)
"This Time Around: Live in Tokyo '75" (09/11/2001) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, CMC InternationalDeep Purple: Tommy Bolin (vocals, guitar); Glenn Hughes (vocals, bass); David Coverdale (vocals); Ian Paice (keyboards); Jon Lord (drums). Recorded in Tokyo, Japan in December 1975. Includes liner notes by Mike Drumm, Matthew Kean. Digitally remastered by Nick Watson. The Mark IV lineup of Deep Purple was the last before this innovative heavy metal band's initial 1976 breakup. By this time, a variety of factors were sounding the death knell. Vocalist David Coverdale, guitarist Tommy Bolin, keyboardist Jon Lord, bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, and drummer Ian Paice were facing business and personal pressures, and these things inevitably affected Deep Purple's music. The Mark IV Deep Purple's last concerts in Japan occurred in December 1975, and Bolin's severe drug and alcohol addiction would kill him one year later. The final Japanese show was recorded and released in that country and a few others in a severely edited form in 1977. Finally, 2001's two-CD set This Time Around: Live in Tokyo '75 captures the entire concert with remixed and remastered sound. Some good moments occur, but so do sloppy ones from an enormously talented yet obviously drained group. Musically speaking, Lord and Paice make notably valiant efforts to hold it all together. Coverdale's voice is strong in spots while dodgy in others. Hughes' bass playing is reliably solid, but the less said about his shrieking vocals the better. Bolin's gift is obvious, but his guitar work sometimes misses the mark on the Ritchie Blackmore-era material. "Burn" and "Love Child" are respectable, and the 16-minute ironically titled "Gettin' Tighter" is a loose jam demonstrating that Deep Purple could still deliver the goods -- just not consistently. The medley of "Smoke on the Water" and the Hoagy Carmichael standard "Georgia on My Mind" is awkward. "Drifter" tightens things up but the encore of "Highway Star" is ragged. The thorough liner notes include two informative essays and several rare photos. This Time Around: Live in Tokyo '75 is valuable, ultimately, as a historical document of a great band's twilight. ~ Bret Adams

Extended Versions (BMG) by Deep Purple (CD - 08/15/2000)
"Extended Versions (BMG)" (08/15/2000) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, BMG Special ProductsThe title of Deep Purple's Extended Versions is something of a misnomer -- "extended versions, after all, conjure up visions of 12" remixes and protracted studio workouts. Here, however, there's nothing more (or extended) than an unhelpfully non-annotated collection of live recordings dating from Tommy Bolin's time with the band (and that despite the Ian Gillan-era portrait on the front cover!). Indeed, anybody owning either the On the Wings of a Russian Foxbat or King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents live sets already owns Extended Versions and then some, rendering this album little more than a budget-priced sampler for the main attraction. All of that aside, anybody familiar with the studio versions of these songs will agree that a few of them certainly are extended -- "Burn" clocks in at eight-plus minutes, Don Nix's "Going Down" at seven, and Bolin's guitar solo lasts more than ten -- sufficient to have it tagged as a track in its own right on the album cover. However, the fact that his name is misspelled "Tomy" offers at least a glimpse into the amount of care and attention that went into this collection. Not very much. ~ Dave Thompson

Bananas by Deep Purple (CD - 10/07/2003)
"Bananas" (10/07/2003) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, Sanctuary (USA)Deep Purple: Ian Gillan (vocals); Steve Morse (guitar); Don Airey (keyboards); Roger Glover (bass); Ian Paice (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Michael Bradford (guitar); Paul Buckmaster (cello); Beth Hart (background vocals). Recorded at Royaltone Studios, Burbank, California. Bananas has every sign of being a disappointment. Jon Lord's grandiose keyboards were always a focus but he's gone, it's released in the heady age of Radiohead, and it's got one of the oddest titles and the oddest cover art that ever graced a Deep Purple album. Surprise, it's fantastic. New keyboardist Don Airey is an effective replacement, adding new sounds and styles and working the Hammond so well that an uncredited Lord appearance was rumored among fans. Lord has said he's not playing on the album, but he did contribute some writing on the excellent "Picture of Innocence" and "I Got Your Number." Those two tracks, followed by the winding and pastoral "Never a Word," add up to a strikingly impressive suite that bridges the more bombastic first half of the album with the looser and more playful second half. That's right, "Deep Purple" and "playful" in the same sentence. The thunk and chug is still there, but Bananas often turns to mid-tempo boogie and blues, allowing Ian Gillan's wry and witty delivery some deserved space while guitarist Steve Morse's time in Kansas and the Dixie Dregs pays off as never before. The funky light reggae of "Doing It Tonight" is downright smoky-bar slinky-sexy, and if the band doesn't add it to every one of their encores for the rest of their career they're nuts. Filled with hooks and songs that get better with each listen, there's little to dislike about Bananas. Certainly the urgent "House of Pain" could have benefited from punchier production, and there's a noticeable lack of lengthy solos throughout, but these are minor quibbles. Hipsters have already decided, and some hardcore fans will pine for the monolithic sound of Machine Head, but on Bananas Deep Purple sound comfortable, free to do what they want, and more than the sum of their parts than they have in a long, long time. ~ David Jeffries

The Very Best of Deep Purple [EMI 2 Disc] by Deep Purple (CD - 09/14/1998)
"The Very Best of Deep Purple [EMI 2 Disc]" (09/14/1998) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, EMI Music DistributionThis best of collection features 28 remastered tracks by heavy metal and hard rock giants Deep Purple, including "Smoke On The Water," "Hush," "Kentucky Woman," "Speed King," and "Woman From Tokyo." Of the many anthologies and collections that Deep Purple have released over the years, The Very Best of Deep Purple spans the longest era, covering not only the band's power pop beginnings and '70s heavy metal heyday, but also their '80s and '90s period, a phase where the band re-formed and split up constantly, often falling out of favor with fans in favor of newer metal acts. Most of the set comes from the band's '70s heyday, with a smattering of '60s cuts thrown in, but the addition of cuts from the early '90s will help old fans who may have long since abandoned the band to reconnect with Purple's later years. The addition of newly remastered and remixed versions of the classics act as additional bait to fans who have collected the many previous Purple collections, and the remastered cuts definitely give this an edge over other Purple anthologies, sounding their clearest and sharpest. So while this is arguably the foremost Deep Purple collection, mixing all of the standard Purple classics like "Hush" and "Smoke on the Water" with newer selections, it still comes with some caveats. Too many key album cuts and singles from the band's prime years (such as "Space Truckin'," "Shield," and "No One Came") are jettisoned in favor of some rather pointless selections (like the turgid "Hallelujah"). What's more, while "Perfect Strangers" is as much a key Purple song as anything the band cut before, the rest of the '80s and '90s tracks are forgettable filler, demonstrating, sadly, that Deep Purple's best years are behind them. For casual fans and newcomers, this will be all the Purple they'll need, since it contains the biggest hits in best-ever sound quality, but more dedicated fans will feel cheated by the superficial selection (not to mention the absence of any rarities or previously unreleased cuts). Still, because it gives the biggest overall picture of Deep Purple's evolution, as well as containing the remastered hits, The Very Best of Deep Purple is probably the best Deep Purple collection. ~ Victor W. Valdivia

Burn [Bonus Tracks] [Remaster] by Deep Purple (CD - 05/03/2005)
"Burn [Bonus Tracks] [Remaster]" (05/03/2005) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, Rhino Records (USA)Personnel: Glenn Hughes (vocals, bass guitar); David Coverdale (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore (guitar); Jon Lord (keyboards); Ian Paice (drums). Liner Note Author: Nigel Young. Recording information: 11/1973. Photographer: Fin Costello. The first Deep Purple album to feature Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale, resulted in a much more bluesy effort all round. Coverdale's throaty roar, combined with Hughes' soaring vocal, made for a heartfelt, rootsy record. 'Might Just Take Your Life' was a hit single, and the album featured a series of extended jams, which worked most spectacularly with the elongated 'Mistreated', later resurrected by Coverdale as a live favourite with Whitesnake. The title track and 'Lay Down, Stay Down' gave vent to their more familiar refrains and emphasized the strength of their songwriting. The departure of vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover seemed to rejuvenate Deep Purple, and 1974's Burn was a huge improvement over their previous effort, the lackluster Who Do We Think We Are. In an interesting twist, new recruits David Coverdale and ex-Trapeze bassist Glenn Hughes share lead vocals on virtually every track: an enviable tag team, as both possessed exceptional pipes. The title track starts things off at full speed thanks to the phenomenal drumming of Ian Paice, and the intro to "Might Just Take Your Life" is one of organist Jon Lord's finest moments. Full of starts and stops, "Lay Down, Stay Down" features a fantastic solo from guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who, as usual, serves as the band's primal force. "What's Going on Here" is about as good a single as Purple ever wrote; "You Fool No One" is compelling in its intensity; and the funky "Sail Away" is a sign of the band's future direction. "Mistreated," a fantastic slow blues, closes the album proper (just ignore the boring instrumental "A 200," the record's only throwaway) and showcases Coverdale on his own for the first time. So impassioned is the singer's performance that the song would remain his concert trademark long into his post-Purple career with Whitesnake. [The 2005 reissue of Burn contains copious liner notes and five bonus tracks. Along with "Coronarias Dedig," an instrumental B-side, these tracks are all remixed versions of album tracks. The mixes were done in 2004 and sound true to the originals, only cleaner. Their value is somewhat negligible and as the liner notes almost say, they seem to exist only to pad out the running time of the disc.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Smoke On The Water & Other Hits
"Smoke on the Water & Other Hits" (04/03/2001) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, Flashback RecordsDeep Purple has been the subject of many greatest-hits compilations. This ten-track budget set from Warner's Flashback label includes the original full-length versions of the band's biggest hits, like "Smoke on the Water" and "Woman from Tokyo," while also shining a light on early to mid-'70s metal gems "Burn," "Fireball," and "Highway Star." The selection is decent, but some fans may question the inclusion of "Never Before" and "Stormbringer" over "Strange Kind of Woman" and "Speed King." For a more thorough trip through Deep Purple's catalog, pick up The Very Best of Deep Purple on Rhino. ~ Al Campbell

Slaves And Masters [1/25]
"Slaves And Masters (Collectables)" (03/14/2006) Oldies Deep Purple, Collectables RecordsDeep Purple: Joe Lynn Turner (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore (guitar); Jon Lord (organ, keyboards); Roger Glover (keyboards, bass guitar); Ian Paice (drums). Deep Purple went through more than its share of personnel changes over the years. In 1990, its lineup consisted of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (who had returned after leaving in 1974), singer Joe Lynn Turner, keyboardist/organist Jon Lord, drummer Ian Paice, and bassist Roger Glover. Longtime Purple followers hoped that Blackmore's presence would enable the band to reclaim the metal throne, but Slaves and Masters was hardly the album to do it. The songwriting is weak and pedestrian, and most of the time, the once-mighty Purple (which was at least 16 years past their prime) sounds like a generic Foreigner wannabe. Even Blackmore's input can't save this consistently disappointing CD, which only the most thorough collectors will want. ~ Alex Henderson

Rapture Of The Deep [10/4]
"Rapture of the Deep" (11/01/2005) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, Eagle Records (USA)Deep Purple: Ian Gillan (vocals); Steve Morse (guitar); Don Airey (keyboards); Roger Glover (bass guitar); Ian Paice (drums). Deep Purple's 2005 album Rapture of the Deep generally maintains the quality of 2003's surprisingly sturdy Bananas. It's the second release from the re-energized lineup of vocalist Ian Gillan, guitarist Steve Morse, bass guitarist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice, and keyboardist Don Airey, who replaced the retired Jon Lord. The band's comfort level has increased, and after nearly a decade onboard, Morse's stamp is all over the place. At first, this guitar genius' presence was noticeable because of what it lacked -- the incredibly distinctive Fender Stratocaster electric guitar tone of Ritchie Blackmore. Thus, sometimes Deep Purple didn't sound like Deep Purple. However, the variety of tones Morse incorporates in his style gives the pioneering heavy metal quintet more sonic weaponry. Airey's long, respectable career as a journeyman keyboardist-for-hire pretty much guaranteed he would largely adopt Lord's organ-based style, at least at first, but he has expanded his sound on Rapture of the Deep too. "Money Talks," "Girls Like That," and "Wrong Man" ride strong riffs and rhythms into decent grooves. "Rapture of the Deep" floats along on a lightly hypnotic wave. The mature ballad "Clearly Quite Absurd" has a lilting, controlled tempo, and it's the biggest surprise on the album; Gillan's singing is appropriately subdued while Airey's piano supplies the beauty and Morse's gradually ascending riffs toward the end build the tension. "MTV" is a vicious, bile-spewing, all-out attack on how the modern music industry treats classic rock/heritage artists, although in 2005 Deep Purple clearly appeals more to VH1 Classic than MTV. Initially, the song risks biting the hand that feeds by correctly criticizing classic rock radio for not playing new music by veteran artists. The last verse is a cannon blast that pummels clueless, uninformed disc jockeys who, during interviews, butcher artists' names ("Mr. Grover 'n' Mr. Gillian"), get facts wrong (misinterpreting the Frank Zappa-inspired "Smoke on the Water" legend), and avoid in-depth discussion of new music (like Bananas) in order to record more station IDs. Rapture of the Deep -- Deep Purple's first album for Eagle Records -- misses equaling Bananas by a notch or two, but it's a good example of how many veteran artists still maintain creative vitality. ~ Bret Adams

"Live at Montreux, 1996" (05/02/2006) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, Eagle Rock (USA)Deep Purple: Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Jon Lord, Roger Glover, Steve Morse. Audio Mixer: David Richards . Liner Note Author: Geoff Barton. Recording information: 07/09/1996-07/22/2002. Photographer: Lionel Flusin. In the late 1960s and early '70s, Deep Purple helped lay the foundation for what would become heavy metal, and continued to make rock music (albeit in varying configurations of loud and hard) into the '90s and 2000s. This 1996 concert captures Deep Purple performing at Montreux, a town the band name-checked in their rock classic "Smoke on the Water." That riff-rock standard is here, of course, alongside crowd favorites like "Woman from Tokyo" and "Speed King," amounting to a fun, energetic live set that testifies to the strength of the band's legacy.

In Rock-25th Anniversary Edition (remastered)
"Deep Purple in Rock [Bonus Tracks] [Remaster]" (06/16/1995) Oldies Deep Purple, EMI Music DistributionDeep Purple: Ian Gillan (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore (guitar); Jon Lord (keyboards); Roger Glover (bass); Ian Paice (drums). Engineers: Martin Birch, Andy Knight, Phillip McDonald. British import edition, this includes nine bonus tracks, including remixes, unreleased instrumentals, and in-studio chatter. Liner Note Author: Simon Robinson. With IN ROCK, Deep Purple added vocalist Ian Gillan into the line-up, a decision that irrevocably changed their fortunes. IN ROCK is one of the genre's definitive albums, combining hard-edged riffs with virtuoso technique, topped by Gillan's full-throated roar. Few singers could survive the instrumental power beneath him, but this he does with room to spare, reacting to and emphasizing his colleagues' musical prowess. Chock-full of material destined to become Deep Purple anthems, later releases were evaluated against this trail-blazing, heavy rock collection. After satisfying all of their classical music kinks with keyboard player Jon Lord's overblown Concerto for Group and Orchestra, Deep Purple's soon-to-be classic Mark II lineup made their proper debut on 1970s awesome Deep Purple in Rock. The cacophony of sound (led by Ritchie Blackmore's blistering guitar solo), which introduces the opener "Speed King," makes it immediately obvious that the band is no longer fooling around. The slightly less intense "Bloodsucker" allows for some breathing room before the band embarks on the album's epic, ten-minute tour de force "Child in Time." In what is arguably his greatest performance, singer Ian Gillan leads the band on a series of crescendos, from the song's gentle beginning through to its ear-shattering climax, and back again to an even more intense encore. With searing power chords, "Flight of the Rat" is another example of the band's new hard-rock stance; though at nearly eight minutes, it too finds room for some extended soloing from Blackmore and Lord. "Into the Fire" and "Living Wreck" are more concise but equally appealing, and despite the closer "Hard Lovin' Man," which waffles on a bit before descending into feedback, this is still an essential album. [This version of the album includes bonus material.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

"Live at the Olympia '96" (06/17/1997) Rock & Pop Deep Purple, EMI Music DistributionProfessional double live recording of the classic rock lengend's 1996 concert in France. U.K. import. Personnel: Ian Gillan (vocals, harmonica); Steve Morse (guitar); Vincent Chavagnac (horns); Ian Paice (drums). Audio Mixer: Peter Denenberg. Recording information: The Olympia, Paris, France (06/17/1996). As a present to their fans, particularly the ones on the Internet, the band decided to put out another live album -- such live releases now tallying in double figures, unprecedented for any rock band. Unedited, undubbed and with a three-piece horn section blowing in on four tunes at the Olympia in Paris, Deep Purple are in their best habitat -- exhibiting raw power, free-for-all jamming and charging into the new numbers culled from Purpendicular. Reinvigorating the classics, namely "Smoke On the Water," "Speed King" and "Highway Star," the veterans still prove they can mess with the best on stage. ~ Glen Miller

Burn/stormbringer
"Burn/Stormbringer" (03/10/2003) Oldies Deep Purple, EMI Music DistributionSmartly slipcased, this two-CD package rounds up the last will and testament of the Mark Three incarnation of Deep Purple -- that is, the David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes fired lineup that ended with Ritchie Blackmore's departure to form Rainbow in 1975. Released in 2002 as a stop-gap following former bassist Roger Glover's late-'90s remastering of the earlier Deep Purple albums, but before he agreed to supervise similar restorations of the later discs, it is a utilitarian offering. There are no bonus tracks, despite there being a number to choose from, and the actual packaging offers no variation on the existing single discs. Nevertheless, Burn, at least, indicates just how powerful this lineup of the group was, with highlights ranging from the title track -- the first song the band completed with the new members; to the Blackmore showcase "Mistreated," and onto the distinctly Free-influenced "Sail Away." Free's Paul Rodgers was Deep Purple's own first choice as vocalist, and it is interesting to hear how that partnership might have sounded. Stormbringer, recorded with Blackmore more or less a passenger, is somewhat less inspiring -- indeed, once past "Gypsy" and "Soldier of Fortune" (still a regular in Blackmore's own live set 25 years later), the album is very much Hard Rock By Numbers, a chilling prediction of the arena rock sound that would flow out elsewhere, later in the decade. And how ironic is that? Most metal groups of the '80s and beyond cite "Smoke on the Water" as the ultimate Deep Purple song. So how come they all ended up reworking "High Ball Shooter"? ~ Dave Thompson
