Lyrics:
The best place to get the lyrics, is naturally our very own
Lyrics page on the
- Deep Purple WWW-pages:
- <URL:http://www.deep-purple.com/rosas/lyrics/>
The lyrics are also available at the University of Munich in Germany at the
- LEO Music Archive:
- <URL:http://www.leo.org/a
rchiv/music/music_e.html>
To make things simpler, here's the link
- directly to the Deep Purple lyrics:
- <URL:http://www.leo.org/cgi-bin/leo-dls/pub/rec/musi
c/vocal/lyrics/uwp/d/deep.purple/00-index.html>
If you don't have WWW access, this site also has an
- FTP-archive:
- <URL:ft
p://ftp.leo.org/pub/rec/music/vocal/lyrics/uwp/d/deep.purple/>
At this archive, lyrics for most of the Deep Purple albums are located.
Most seem to be from the original official lyric sheets, where these were
available, allthough I haven't chequed properly. Some are however
transcriptions, and thus understandably include a fair amount of errors.
(All the Mark I albums are transcriptions.) The lyrics at the WWW pages are
more updated and corrected.
There are also some Rainbow files at this site; lyrics for
the three albums with Joe Lynn Turner on the vocals, + 16th Century
Greensleeves (probably off the Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
LP cover) and a partial transcription of All Night Long
.
All these files are mirrored from the ftp archive at ftp.uwp.edu
; this archive is virtually impossible to access now, because
there's too heavy traffic.
Chord and tablature:
Guitarists will also be familiar with the lyrics & chords archives at
Nevada. However, the archives at nevada.edu are under a lot of pressure
now, and you're urged to use one of the mirror archives.
Of course, you'll find the lot and then some at the
- Deep Purple WWW pages:
- <URL:http://www.deep-purple.com/lyrics/>
Another source for WWW access to the guitar files, albeit a LOT slower than
the Deep Purple pages (at least from my site) is
- LEO Music Archive in Munich, Germany:
- <URL:http://www.leo.org/cgi-bin/leo-dls/pub/rec/m
usic/guitar/songs/nevada/d/deep.purple/00-index.html/>
The LEO Music Archive is also available through
- FTP:
- <URL:ftp:/
/ftp.leo.org/pub/rec/music/guitar/nevada/d/deep.purple/>
Digitized songs
There are some copyright issues about sampling Deep Purple music. We
are in discussions with the management about this subject. Watch this
space! - Dave
The Deep Purple FAQ
Well, you're obviously reading it right now, but it's stored several
places, too.
The primarily version of the FAQ is the HTML-version at the
- Deep Purple WWW-pages:
- <URL:http://www.deep-purple.com/rosas/faq/faq.htm>
Besides, the text version of the FAQ is archived at the
- FTP FAQ archives:
- <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/>
There are several mirrors of this archive around the world.
Buying the music online
There's also several online music stores out there. All of the stores
mentioned below are US based, and you'll usually need a VISA or Mastercard
to shop from them.
- CD Connection
The first of them, I believe, has 100.000 titles in store. Decent Deep
Purple collection, including some imports.
- WWW:
<URL:http://ftp.cdconnection.com/>
Telnet:
<URL:telnet://cdconnection.com>
- CD Europe
- Specializes on imports, as their name suggests. Good source for buying
all those nifty European Deep Purple releases that you Americans never find
in your stores! :-) (Some claim this firm is a bit dodgy.)
Telnet:
<URL:telnet://cdeurope.com>
- CDnow! The Internet Music Store
Good Deep Purple selection, even has some bootlegs. Has the best
WWW-service.
- WWW: <URL:http://cdnow.com/>
telnet: <URL:telnet://cdnow.com>
email: manager@cdnow.com
- Video Online Express
A late addition to the list, it seems to be the video branch of CD
Connection. VHS and laserdisc. Has a few Purple + related titles.
