Rceorded at Welcombe Maor Studios, Devonshire, England in 1971.
By the time of this 1971 release, Deep Purple was in the midst of making the transition from the hard-edged pop of the band's first line-up to a band that was battling Led Zeppelin for the hard rock crown.
Having already gotten off to a great start with DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK, this Purple lineup of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover, and Ian Paice fit together like interlocking pieces. Blessed with such unerring chemistry, Purple raised the bar for hard rock with such nuggets as the hard-driving title track and the grinding "Fools." Elsewhere, they show surprising range with the country-flavored "Anyone's Daughter" (featuring some impressive finger picking by Blackmore) and the Jimi Hendrix-influenced "No One Came" (which includes a dollop of psychedelic backwards guitar). Also included is the Purple epic "The Mule," a sweeping tour de force dominated by Blackmore's Middle Eastern-tinged soloing and Lord's Pink Floyd-ian keyboard runs. The song became a highlight of Deep Purple's live shows.
Deep Purple: Ian Gillan (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore (guitar); Jon Lord (keyboards); Roger Glover (bass); Ian Paice (drums).

After British maestro guitarist Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple in 1974, he recruited Purple Records signees Elf as his backing band. And although Rainbow's 1975 debut was only a hint of future greatness, the album more than holds its own.
Elf was led by dramatic metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio, who seemed to connect with Blackmore in quite a chemical fashion. "Man on the Silver Mountain" ...

As the drums kick into the fierce opener "Tarot Woman," it's obvious that RISING delivers directly to your door. It is the band's second release, and a vast improvement over RICHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW. With a revamped lineup that sounds like it had been touring together for years, the album takes no prisoners. "Starstruck" is a classic groove ...

Digitally remastered by Suha Ger (Universal Music Group Studios).
In the early '80s, many of the top metal acts of the past had either disbanded or soldiered on despite the loss of founding members. Deep Purple had officially disbanded in 1976, with only two original members present in the final lineup, but by 1984, the classic lineup of vocalist Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, bassist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice, and keyboardist Jon Lord had reunited. Responsible for such classics as MACHINE HEAD and MADE IN JAPAN, the group was considered amongst metal's elite, and judging from its first comeback album, 1984's PERFECT STRANGERS, DEEP PURPLE hadn't lost its ...
| | Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are? CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Fireball CD music
$10.45
After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE? Despite all the infighting, the band pulled together long enough to record seven tracks that only bolstered the band's reputation.
The best-known song, "Woman From Tokyo," boasted a riff as memorable as the one that defined "Smoke on the Water" and was later admitted by Ritchie Blackmore to have been cribbed from Eric Clapton's "Cat Squirrel." Although Blackmore's always-impressive riffing stands out on such songs as "Mary Long" and "Place in Line," this album also spotlights how far Jon Lord's contributions on organ went toward defining the band's sound. Lord's mastery was such that in addition to the impressive solos on "Place in Line," his sweeping runs are the highlight of the stop-and-go "Rat Bat Blue." On this roller coaster ride of an album, the members of Deep Purple come together best on "Our Lady," ...
| | Jazz: Live From New York CDs (2001)
Fireball music CDs
$15.29
Far from being the last refuge of jazz warhorses put out to pasture (as the story went among journalists in the 1990s), there was plenty of creativity and vitality on the Telarc roster then -- at least from the evidence of this anthology. The linking device behind this package is that every selection was recorded live in one New York City nightclub or another. Beyond that, the diversity and star power of the personalities who recorded for Telarc in the 1990s make it unwise to put an overall label on this two-CD set. Spanning the range from Lionel Hampton's truckin' re-creation of his swing-era signature jam "Flyin' Home" to the forward-looking Jim Hall's "Pan-O-Rama," almost everyone has something interesting to say (a sad exception is the fading Dizzy Gillespie, recorded only a year before his death). Jon Hendricks' musings on the flaws of "glamour girls" on "Contemporary Blues" is especially amusing, with sassy trumpet obbligatos from Wynton Marsalis. You also hear from Slide Hampton and the Jazz Masters, Al Grey's Centerpiece, Oscar Peterson in excellent pre-and-post-stroke form, Mel Tormé, James Moody, Dave Brubeck, the Jazz Messengers, Stéphane Grappelli, Harry "Sweets" Edison and the Golden Horns, and the Louie Bellson big band. Whether as a tour of the New York jazz club scene, a sampler of the veteran Telarc jazz roster of the 1990s, or an excuse to launch the shuffle-play feature on your CD changer during a party, this two-CDs-for-the-price-of-one jewel box provides good value. ~ Richard S. Ginell

When your band contains instrumentalists who have previously been spotted strutting their stuff in the likes of Fates Warning and Prymary, you know that the "prog metal quotient" is going to be quite high. And that certainly proves to be the case with the fifth release overall by Redemption, 2009's Snowfall on Judgement Day. Added to ...
