Band: DEEP PURPLE Medium / Title: CD / "Singles & E.P. Anthology ’68-‘80” Release date: 09.04.2010 Label: EMI

DEEP PURPLE lovers watch out: the new compilation „Singles & E.P. Anthology ’68-‘80” is not only an excellent profile of the band history on EMI starting with 'Hush' (by the way, this is a cover version of Joe South), the 1968 published song from 'Shade Of Deep Purple' but also the final regular single 'Gettin' Tighter' from spring 1976. This was the time guitarist Tommy Bolin left the band after they finished their studio album 'Come Taste The Band' with the so called Mark-4-lineup. He just got in the band 1975. 

This double CD package offers some rare tracks and various song versions that never saw laser lights before like the studio outtake ‘Painted Horse’ of the ‘Who Do We Think We Are’-sessions or the two BBC records of 1969 (‘The Bird Has Flown’) and 1970 (‘Grabsplatter’), which has only been released on vinyl 1980. The booklet attends again  with great liner notes of the ultimate DEEP PURPLE expert Simon Robinson plus rarely available single covers.
