Space Truckin' Around the World 1968-76


New from Purple Records:

"Deep Purple hold a unique place amongst the cream of the world's hard rock groups. Where other bands of their vintage have called it a day or disappeared to the obscure gig circuit, Deep Purple continue to pack stadiums around the world and regularly release new albums. This reputation for hard work and even harder gigs was earned the hard way, with the band touring relentlessly during the early 1970s to promote their classic albums.

A number of those shows were recorded and have been rescued from obscurity by Purple Records over the years. Now, to mark the tenth anniversary of the label's relaunch, their first ever Deep Purple compilation has been put together. It proves a remarkable journey through the group's live repertoire, and covers all four of the original line-ups with tracks sourced from across the label's entire catalogue. Starting off on the West Coast of America at the height of flower- power, with tracks recorded on their debut tour in 68, the set soon rips into the core of the band's classic era. Tracks from In Rock, Machine Head and Made In Japan era taken from rare shows across Europe (Germany, Denmark, Montreux) are followed by a final selection from the Mk 3 and Mk 4 years, including a track from Blackmore's last show with the group in Paris in 1975, culminating in the famous Tokyo recording from 1975.

The package carries a detailed history of the group during the period with pictures and information on the concerts. This 2CD set can be ordered from DPAS Mailorder and will be available in all good record stores."

What caught my attention was the inclusion of Burn from San Diego. It's well known that Blackmore is completely out of tune on that track. What a weird choice for a live compilation.

EDIT: Forgot the link.

Waste of time. This is cd is a money maker attempt. There's dozens of live stuff from the 70's era and each and every tune on this compilation is released already. I would rather see a PS tour DVD. emoticon

I suppose the idea is to promote the excellent Purple Records live catalogue.

Oh well I guess im just thinking as a fan who heard it all. But I have my doubts if this will really benefit that much from promotional point of view.
