CD Issue

Compilation of material by Mks I, IIa, III and IV.

This is Simon Robinson's reworking of EMI's previous Anthology 1985, which had contained bait-material aimed at collectors. This one contains no such things and is strictly aimed to allure new fans into the wonderful world of Deep Purple, and/or satisfy the needs of the casual fan.
