Deep Purple - New Live Album/Video & Internet Single MP3 release

07/07/1999
On Tuesday, July 13th, Deep Purple will become one of the first major acts to pre-release a live CD and Video to their Internet fan base. The album, Total Abandon - Australia '99, features Deep Purple's entire show filmed & recorded in Melbourne, Australia on April 20th, 1999. Both releases will only be available through the Deep Purple Online Store. An eventual record deal is expected for the video release.

Also on July 13th, Deep Purple has agreed to release a single from the album as a downloadable MP3 track. A special "thank you" to all the fans that have supported them in recent years over the Internet, the single is Fireball, the title track of Deep Purple's 1971 album. Originally released as a single in the UK in October of 1971, Fireball peaked at #15 in British Charts. The album itself reached either a #1 or #2 chart placing across Europe, while peaking at #32 in the US.

In coming months, there will also be an "alternative footage" DVD that will let fans zoom in on particular band members in any given moment during the performance. It will also feature behind the scene footage from the entire 1999 Australian tour.
