Upcoming re-releases
Two upcoming items are worth mentioning, if at least partially in the caveat category.
First, Deep Purple’s September 14, 2002 performance from the Jon Lord farewell tour is getting a standalone DVD release in the USA. The show was previously available on video as a part of 2008 Around The World Live box set, packaged together with Bombay Calling and Total Abandon for the milking effect. It is also confusingly titled Live at the NEC, as a release with the same title already exists — the infamous 1993 show on double CD (still available, despite being apparently withdrawn). The new release is due on August 26 via Eagle Entertainment.
Gillan’s The Vinyl Collection 1979-1982 will be released on September 23 October 7 via UK’s Demon Music Group. The box set includes five albums spread across seven LPs: Mr Universe, Glory Road / For Gillan Fans Only (2LP), Future Shock, Double Trouble (2LP), and Magic. There will also be a limited edition that includes a 7″ single Spanish Guitar.
Thanks to BraveWords and Classic Rock for the info.

July 24th, 2016 at 04:03Yes yes yes

July 24th, 2016 at 07:04amazing – realy – the next one of the old story! What is with the new cd? Later on – which year? 2017, 2018, 2019?
July 24th, 2016 at 10:24Interesting but not essential. And yet…..
July 24th, 2016 at 14:18I can’t think of a band having more live releases under their belt. Jon’s farewell gig is a must-have obviously, but already available as mentioned.
July 25th, 2016 at 09:12The Gillan re-release is more welcome. As is the new album. Any developments beyond the mixing stage?
It seems that even the withdrawn 1993 box set just got a re-relase:

July 25th, 2016 at 20:25The NEC 2002 was an amazing concert, very emotional and Ian Gillan in top form. I can only recommend it to all who don’t already own the “All around the world live”-DVD package where this concert is the best of those included IMHO. It’s definitely one of the better re-releases.
@ #4, Frank:
Hold your horses, mate. I’m sure we will hear about it soon enough. In the moment the excitement about this upcoming album isn’t even worth to mention if you compare it to what was going on before “Now What?!”. Nevertheless I’m looking forward to it – their 20th studio effort.
July 25th, 2016 at 22:44Members of Deep Purple began saying two years ago they were working on a new album. Then, this past January, they started saying they were recording a new album. It supposedly was completed months ago, but all we keep hearing about is re-releases ($$$$). How about the Highway Star putting the band’s feet to the fire and asking them what month, year, or decade the new album is actually coming out?
July 27th, 2016 at 23:52It’s a bummer that the Gillan albums have never been given the state of the Art remastering or even remixing treatment. “Gory Road” is such a great album but it’s lacking all the power mixing-wise. It would be a revalation to go back to the multitracks. Seems like Gillan could have it done if he wanted to. He has stated that the mixes were not that good around that time.
July 28th, 2016 at 00:08How about something that hasn’t been released before?
July 29th, 2016 at 00:13I have to get a copy of that DVD under any circumstance. I made all the Long way from Graz, Austria to be there…moments I will never Forget…after Don’s solo a second of darkness and then a thrilling scream from the crowd…the maesto played the intro for Perfect Strangers…unforgettable…Keep on rocking…
August 2nd, 2016 at 13:08Might have been an iconic concert for the Jon Lord farewell, but fans are expecting other stuff:
Perfect Strangers expanded edition
August 5th, 2016 at 20:15Jakarta 75 full documentary
Made in Europe Box Set.
More archive new releases like MK I live in Canada or the MK III and IV soundboards.
