DEEP PURPLE

This re-mastered vinyl version of Deep Purple’s breakthrough 1970 album takes us back to the classic line-up and their riff frenzied instrumental prowess in numbers such as the elongated Child In Time.

A few years later punk would rebel against Ritchie Blackmore’s guitar blitzkriegs, Jon Lord’s momentous organ lines and the Neanderthal attitude flaunted on Living Wreck. Even so, when the smoke cleared, the undimmed power and abiding influence of these hard rock monsters would not be denied.
