I heard Deep Purple “Hush” on the radio as a child. I heard “Into The Fire” playing in a record store when I was about 12 or 13. When “Smoke On The Water” walked down the pike, I thought it was the best rock guitar riff since “In-a-Gadda-da-Vida”! Saw ‘em live in
I have “Deluxe” or “Anniversary” issues of “In Rock”, “Fireball” and “Machine Head” – and they all sound truly mighty 35 years hence. I think those classic Mk. II albums coincide with the studio technology in the
I have the 3 x Ritchie Blackmore CD’s that I do because all of them feature material produced by Joe Meek that Mr. Blackmore plays on (Heinz, The Outlaws etc.) – I never went for Rainbow – something about the vocalist(s). And I always thought that I should check out the 3 x Ian Gillan solo albums – before he started calling his band “Gillan” – so I found clean LP’s and I am awaiting the time for me to give to these mid-70’s works.
No surprise to me at all that Deep Purple were huge in
And I always thought it was cool that Roger Glover produced Judas Priest!
It’s true, classic rock FM radio did over-do “Smoke On The Water” and “Highway Star”. In
The “Millennium Collection” could’ve cleaned up all the 80’s studio tracks, but it does not – I keep a burned copy of their Mk. II 80’s re-make of “Hush” somewhere.

I got my car back! yeah!
