Deep Purple's self-titled album, often referred to as 'Deep Purple Mk I,' from Germany, is a collector's gem. Released with the band's name in distinctive pink on the front cover, this 12" vinyl LP is a piece of rock history. Originally released in 1969, it's the third and final studio album featuring the original lineup, making it a significant addition for collectors of Deep Purple's iconic discography.
"Slaves and Masters" (1990, Germany) is a significant album in Deep Purple's discography. Released in 1990, it represents a unique chapter as the only album featuring singer Joe Lynn Turner, who replaced Ian Gillan in the previous year. This transitional period in the band's history brought a different vocal style to their sound. The album showcases Deep Purple's adaptability and willingness to experiment with their lineup
"Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are!" in its French release is a hard rock masterpiece. Recorded in Rome in July 1972 and Frankfurt in October 1972 using the Rolling Stones Mobile unit, this album marks the seventh studio release by the band. It's notably the final album with the classic Mk II lineup until their reunion in 1984. A significant chapter in Deep Purple's discography, this album remains a favorite among fans of their iconic hard rock sound.
This album is not just another entry in their discography. Ithink this is the beginning of a new stage in their creativity.Steve Morse added a new style to their music. The mostimportant thing is that he doesn't try to play like RitchieBlackmore. He adds his own style, and as a result themusic becomes more diverse. For example, Vavoom: Tedthe Mechanic, Soon Forgotten or Sometimes I Feel LikeScreaming would never have been recorded by RitchieBlackmore in this form. Perhaps they wouldn't exist at all.And with Steve Morse, bold experiments became possible.The guitar riffs of Vavoom... sound like something similarto funk and grunge, Soon Forgotten is recorded relaxedand cheeky, like musicians in a pub, Sometimes... lookslike a hard version of a song by Kansas, with whom SteveMorse briefly recorded. Throughout the album there arewonderful inclusions of jazz, fragments of folk, blues andeven country. And that is great! I like the development ofmusic. This is what distinguishes the album from theprevious one, The Battle Rages On, which is very goodwithout a doubt, but too Deeppurplean) social review comments Review Permalink

Dear David, do you think would be possible one day to see the (Purple Records/ Coletta) early Whitesnake albums 1977-1983 revisited, remastered, with alternative tracks, with bonus tracks? Impossibile for legal and contractual reasons? Or possible? It would be my greatest Whitesnake desire. I wish you well and all the best ;and I hope to here your deep soulful voice again in new records and live on stage. Your greatest italian fan Rico Punzi. Greetings from Switzerland

Thanks to our new ASR (Artist Success Rating) concept, we know that their sales represent 27.04 million times the purchase of their entire discography. Coupled with their total sales, it translates into an ASR score of 283.
The phenomenal "Burn" title track started things off at full throttle and challenged the seminal "Highway Star" for the honor of best opener to any DEEP PURPLE album, while showcasing the always-impressive drumming of Ian Paice. The fantastic slow-boiling blues of "Mistreated"'s greatness qualifies it for the highest echelons of hard rock achievement, and therefore ranks as an essential item in the discography of any self-respecting music fan.
I'm sorry, but, there is no comparison between what Purple did and what Zep did with just Dazed alone forget all their other great songs. The instrumental machinery on display during 1973 is of phenomenal proportions and I challenge any person to post a track where purple jams with the same ferocity and intensity and virtuosity.
wrote all sorts of complex compositions like The rain song, Ten years gone, Achilles last stand, Kashmir all sorts of acoustic songs and so on and Deep purple themselves said, that their sound is based almost entirely on early Zeppelin, they just expanded the jams in their own style a bit.
And even if Zeppelin did borrow a SMALL amount of music, they made it very original, while Deep purple were heavily based on Zeppelin and even something extraordinary like Child in time has the intro copied note for note exactly from a song called It's a beautiful day by Bombay calling.
