Along with the squarely analog, old school reel-to-reel tape deck and record player, Revox is also releasing a Deep Purple Splat! branded digital speaker.
The trio will be unveiled at the HIGH END audio show in Vienna, Austria, taking place June 4-7, 2026. Classic Rock reports that the band will be in attendance at the Revox booth on June 4 between 2-3pm.
The Revox/Deep Purple merch store also has “mater tape” reels (at eye-watering prices) with 16-page artwork that has just barely legible lyrics. Guess what — Jessica’s Bra is not about bra at all. As the story goes, “his name wasn’t Ted, and he wasn’t a mechanic either”…
Thanks to Tobias Janaschke for the heads-up, and to Stereo Guide for the additional info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing

Herr MacGregor’s and AndreA’s senseless sonic snipes are immediately invalidated by how good A Bit On The Side sounds as the musical backdrop to that Revox clip. What’s not to like?!
Case closed, naval battle won. 🤗
May 10th, 2026 at 14:51The reel-to-reel deck is €20k but to ease the pain it comes with a studio master tape of the album lol!
The portable speaker has a model No. A200. I wonder if it’s a nod to the Burn track??

May 11th, 2026 at 13:24@ 7 Indeed!! A Bit On The Side sounds absolutely terrific! One of my go to tracks on =1
May 11th, 2026 at 14:53RoelG, I hate to break it to you, but A200 is not so much a sound- as an insects & hygiene-related product …
