There’s been once a promise to release final MK III concerts in entirety - of which only Paris and big portion of Graz show are available… And if you listen to ‘Made In Europe’ - you’ll notice - Saarbrucken was the best show of the three. Lies in the vaults and bites the dust as the ‘Stormbringer’ cut-offs do. Bit of a pity….

Happy Friggin’ NEW YEAR PP……

Cheers

Just my opinion of course and we know what they say about opinions…

I think I will wait for the Difficult to Cure remaster

DTS CD is better than 4.0 DVD if you ask me, that extra channel does wonders, plus it’s not just the 5.1 factor, it’s superior because of it’s level of decoding.
But as far as the band having anything to do with these bybrids, this is actually a first in that aspect, as they had nothing to do with the MH DVD-A and SACD DTS 5.1 releases or the also mentioned Stormbringer.(the latter MH not mentioned by me prior, but it was released in that hybrid format and quickly discontinued as well)

Some audiophile material of this sort can be obsolete before it’s discovered, but some on the other hand is vicious sounding and worthy of pointing out to the masses, such as these particular hybrids made for their respective players but most universally, surround sound DTS decoded players only.

You can’t buy them new or used anywhere I know of, but they were available with ease when they were released some time ago.
Here is a shot of the DTS 5.1 CD version, for those who don’t know what I’m talking about…

Why not use the comcept like was done for the “In Rock” aniversary album? Give some in betweens, historical build ups aso,… or like the “In japan”,… where you get sessions from 3 outta 4 concerts,… where you can choose the version where Ritchy shows how to fuck up “Smoke”,… funny and only the great can efford to show to be human.

When it comes to Glen Hughes,.. he has one brilliant album,… as good as the best album ever (alongside DP In Rock, Bolin’s Teaser end Simpers Fandango stuff) and that’s his album “Play me out”.

I’m not waiting for this Stormbringer release at all.
It can only be dissapointing when there’s no REAL extra on it.

Cheerz and have fun, btw, happy holidayz!

You’re welcome, no arrogance by your definition intended, just generosity, your choice of thousands of recordings await, that is unless you’re already secretly leeching.lol!

I’m well aware of Blackmore’s philosophy regarding reïssues and re-releases. This is why I said most likely we will never see a series of the type as the Deep Purple re-mixes.

Record companies often offer re-mixes and alternate artwork–even alternate songs or running order–tailored to fit the tastes of the target market. The Japanese, for example, come to expect something “extra” not available everywhere else (it’s a cultural thing), and the record companies tend to oblige. This keeps the “self respecting collectors” busy, too.

To assume what a person might have heard, not heard, owns, doesn’t own, knows or doesn’t know is arrogant presumption.

I see nothing wrong with seeking a copy of what you have yet to hear in the rough mixes boot, after all, it doesn’t cost anything but good communication with someone offering it, and there are thousands of us, we don’t bite, and we wear muzzles for those who do, in the form of contempt. lol!

In the case of Rising, the rough mixes provide the listener with what all there is to look for.
For one, Rising always featured two different mixes, any self respecting collector knows what I’m talking about. There is the German mix and the US mix. Get your hands on a Japanese copy and proceed to be impressed.

The Rising rough mixes bootleg is what any fan would highly enjoy, with a surreal sound, especially now that it’s been remastered by an associate of mine. Find the Carey intro to Stargazer and that alone satisfies, besides the mix itself.

Even in the case of Born Again, it’s a fact that sometimes it sounds tons better before it was even mixed, tons….

Enter bootleg collecting for your own piece of mind, if anything.

In addition, I agree The House of Blue Light needs a re-mix, as does Rainbow Rising–but I doubt we will see a re-mixed series of Rainbow in the same way the DP albums were done.

As far as Stormbringer is concerned, at one point there was enough material for a double album. One can only assume these songs were wiped, lost, or not approved for release. It wouldn’t be the first time an extra or two were nixed for the re-mix series due to objections from the members or management.

Interesting how the barn was deleted from the artwork. It’s in the July 8, 1927 Jasper, MN tornado photograph used to make the original cover.

Okay, if Birtch played on that Fleetwood Mac album I wasn’t aware of it at all. I’m talking about something Purple related in a way.

Bradford was in L.A. so he managed to guest at both Hollywood and Amaheim’s HOB, two venues I can say are great places to catch a gig.
I thought his performance on Anaheim was unnesessary and comical, just as his appearance Montreux was. The funny thing is, he got produced by the amazing Nick Blagona on that DVD and should really admire the outcome, it has the best sound of any live performance DVD I’ve ever heard, simply sweat, warm and fuzzy. Man that thing rocks!

Mutt for Purple, hhmm… Twaine is his recently divorced wife who he married and produced and wrote easy country songs for, who is now in possession of the farm estate.(yummy)

Y’all can always catch up with me here at one of my homestead’s and chat with the Undergrounders, have fun talking.(GM - Admin)

Stefan: I dig your point here, and agree. I guess the point I was getting at there was that his success with him producing music that seems to become main-stream airplay, it would really be great to see these guys take the plunge and go to the effort to acquire the input and tools to get a final shot at that ‘Recognized Success’ they so deserve for the music that is so good that the world just doesn’t get exposed to…

Sound like Def Leppard or Shania? Hardly, but get some of that notoriety? Absolutely. He did work with AC/DC, Foreigner, and others…..He has just finished up the Nickelback record and from what I have read, it kicks ass…..(for those whom like their stuff).

Again, I’m not trying to sell Mutt on you. I really don’t know what they should do, but I would like to see a really Balls to the Wall approach towards really doing something that gets them their due…..

Cheers

it is enough a stout beer to me

Wishin’Well

I find it very sad because at first it makes me think that DP in 2009 are not free to decide what playing on stage and
at the second
because I find THOBL a good album (surely not excellent like perfect Strangers but better than others..).

sad!

Martin Birch?
he played guitar on Fleetwood Mac’s album (Mystery to Me)

Glover did produce Abandon, Derrick Schnider engineered it.

Andre, when asked why they never play HOBL material, Roger says “ask the management” and I say that applies to a lot of set list factors. It’s like they and the promoters demand the set to be dominated by the most well known songs according to sales, everywhere they play.

Million dollar trivia question: what artist did Martin Birtch play guitar for, and what was the name of the album he played on?

I like this Albumr but I miss These Pieces on Stage:
why DP never play pieces from this work!?

I’ve never Known why they don’t,it is a pity…

have a happy’xmas Dears Purple People!

Sorry my man, I don´t want DP to sound like F**KING Def Leppard or Shania Twain!! Mutt Lange….tell me your kidding!!

While I´m at it….Have a merry Christmas Tracy and the rest of you DP nutters wherever you are,you know who you are…Seven-47,Purplepriest,Andrea,Annemie,Roberto,Rascal,Crimson Ghost,TruthHurts,Ole,Stoffer,Sami and all the rest of you!!!KEEP THE FAITH & ROCK ON!!

Look forward to the Coop.

Thanks,

Cheers and Merry Christmas to you too…..

Merry Cristmas!

Also, I agree with you on the MH effect. That’s mainly due to the fact that MH is a much more quality recording to begin with. Let’s face it. 5 of the greatest musicians to hit the planet on this. Plus, Martin Birch……Where is he today? I think it’s time to bring him back for the next LP. Actually, (I know this is lame but) Mutt Lang would be something for them to check into……I can see him doing something positive for the Purps. Better than Bradford.

Cheers

Hey, did you get that Coop video I sent, the rare 71 program?

Indeed , DVD s of PS and HOBL tours, please-
Will it be before I step into my grave?

My soundsystem really could benefit from upgrading but unfortunately I have to put my priorities in other areas.

So much for being honest.

Back to the ‘SB Remaster’. I find it difficult to believe that there is absolutely no unreleased tunes from those sessions.. Surely one of these guys has some tapes from that era. It’s a shame that they won’t go to the hassle to include ‘anything’ obscure when going through the effort to put out a remaster. Unfortunately, a few years down the road, they will uncover some more ‘unreleased tracks’ from ALL of the studio records and then “Remaster the Remasters”……..it never ends….

Priest: for under $400.00, you can put together an absolutely incredible sound system which will do it ALL. That’s the beauty of electronics….They just get better, and cheaper. People spend in the thousands for ‘Upper-end’ stuff. That’s all fine and dandy, if you are paying for certain special devices for your electronic pleasure, but as far as sound quality, $400.00 will definitely do the trick. Especially if you already have certain basics. The Human Ear is only capable of deciphering so much…..there is a point where you can’t tell the difference anyway. One thing I did was, purchase a very decent quality sound system. When you spend as much time as you do listening to music…….It makes no sense to lessen the ‘listening experience’ with a cheap ass equipment. All you need is a Sub-woofer, a center speaker, 2 good front speakers, and 2 good rear speakers. Then of course a DVD player. You can save money by skipping the CD player, because DVD players play both. A good amp or receiver. You probably already have most of this and of course I’m sure you have a TV.

CRANK IT UP AND JAM OOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

Cheers and MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMASSSSSSSS!!!!!!! TO YOU ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

Wake up Purple management!!!

Happy holidays.

Remix of HOBL?? Sure why not,can hardly get any worse!!!

I never heard the DVD version of MH

I even forgot there was one

Does it really differ so much?

I m tired of buying myself into poverty

The DVD sounded like if the old recording (from the hotel, remember) had been taken apart and put together in a decent studio (no hotel sound ;-)).

Cheers

They did release MH quad in digital form already, as mentioned above, Machine Head DVD-Audio on Rhino Records. Not only that, they added an extra channell and a half to fully open it up and the result I guarantee you is like nothing you’ve ever heard when played through a 5.1 system, and if you have a good media player and at least a 5.1 soundblaster card and media player that supports DVD-A, then you get even more picture features and a completely different menu, and you don’t need a DVD-A player in order to get the video footage, which is just a few spots of Copenhagan 72.(not important, but it is on there)
Nothing beats this release, I assure you, nothing.

I bought this when it came out at retail price, less than $20 if I remember correctly. But now you have to shop around for as low a price as you can find, simply because you can’t get it new for cheap that I know of.
new - http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0000560X3/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

But you can do much better used, around half that cost:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0000560X3/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

I know it’s bloody expensive but it is no longer in print and now a pretty serious collectors item, which the price is 100% reflective of.
As I said, you will not have a better DP listening experience if you hear this version, because there is nothing better available, it makes you feel like you’re sitting in the studio in 1972 and the band is doing a one time run through of the tracks live, seriously, it’s that wicked! A spooky trip indeed, talk about chills, especially the first time you hear it.

Cant wait from the quadraphonic mix, plus for those head phone ‘freaks’ amongst us a special
binaural recording of ‘The Champion Dung Spreader’ song………….

Stormbringer remastered……….yeah very good.

But why aren’t there any album outtakes or other versions? I have kinda the same feeling as Tracy. I see no point other than the quad mix. That’s gonna be great though!

But, what about the announced 4 different vocal takes of “Soldier Of Fortune” and the original Coverdale Intro to “Stormbringer” (OK the last one will be too vulgar for the american market - but for Europe?).
It’s a pity, that these things are missing. I think thereis enough space.
I also hoped there would be more instrumental mixes. There is only the already released “High Ball Shooter Instrumental” (”Listen, Learn, Read On” box).

Is it right, that Hughes does new vocals for the “Glenn Hughes Remix” (it would be interesting)?

It was time for a remaster and will be one of the first in the my music shop.
