inFinite platinum edition — April Fools
We have become aware that the record company is planning to release a platinum edition of the new Deep Purple album inFinite. This edition will come some time before the end of the year and will include a whole disc of bonus material, including exclusive never before heard tracks and outtakes recorded during the album sessions:
- Gillan doing morning crossword puzzles
- Roger reading a book
- Steve tuning his guitar
- Don making a himself a cup of tea
- Paicey fishing at the lake in a rare moment of lull
This platinum edition will be released on CD, vinyl, compact cassette, reel-to-reel tape, and Edison phonograph compatible wax cylinders. Each format will be hand made and strictly limited to 100 copies. Pricing will be available at an unspecified later date.
Thanks to Hubert Jesslilt for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
this sounds fake… but I like the artwork tho.
April 1st, 2017 at 05:37The free cd with last months classic rock was great.
April 1st, 2017 at 05:39Funny but it is the 1st of April, so not
April 1st, 2017 at 05:44That means buying the album twice, I wish they would stop doing this.
April 1st, 2017 at 06:12Hey Nick,
April 1st, 2017 at 06:27that’s a good one! LOL!
Happy April Fools Day everyone.
Even if it sounds fishy, sign me up!
April 1st, 2017 at 06:40April fools ? Bugger,I’ve just ordered the wax cylinder !
April 1st, 2017 at 06:51Great announcement this first day of April.
April 1st, 2017 at 07:12Just pre-ordered 17 for myself. Need a link?
April 1st, 2017 at 07:13Interesting piece of information while incomplete : release date is well known : on April Fool’s Day 🙂
April 1st, 2017 at 07:35Great news!! Can´t wait…
April 1st, 2017 at 07:45They´ve done the same during the recordings of Now What?! Snippets have been used during the instrumental part of “Uncommon Man”.
Why not release it now just another rip off
April 1st, 2017 at 07:56Well really cool – somebody told they have a new Version of APRIL (the first) on that edition from the album DEEP PURPLE in 1969 – can’t wait ,-) ,-) 😉
April 1st, 2017 at 08:10What…? No minidisc or 8-track…? I’m so boycotting this release 😠
April 1st, 2017 at 08:15April Fool’s Day to you too!
April 1st, 2017 at 09:41Will the platinum edition also include newly recorded versions of the Purple tracks “April” and “Fools”?
April 1st, 2017 at 09:45Too obvious
April 1st, 2017 at 10:38Sure! Hahahahaha! 😂
April 1st, 2017 at 10:44Is Fools a bonus track?
April 1st, 2017 at 10:59🤔
April 1st, 2017 at 11:25I’m not buying this…in more than just the literal sense 😉
Happy April Fools Day!
P.S.: So sad that we will never get to hear Steve’s guitar tuning technique though…
April 1st, 2017 at 11:39Can’t wait for this release ! Specially the phonograph cylinder, to make a pair to my now almost fifty year old cylinder of Shades of Deep Purple ( I own the rare edition made in Purple Wax, an weird one that has an instrumental version of Hush !!). I compulsively collect those special editions by Deep Purple – just like the concerts with Steve Morse singing Burn and Love Child , and the Moon Concerts. Thanks to the April Record Company for those gems – keep on bringing them on, pals!!
April 1st, 2017 at 12:34Obviously this is a must have for all the April fools out there!…. Nice try HS. Incidentally, would anyone out there be interested in purchasing either a large road & rail bridge, or a well worn opera house from either Mr Blackwood or Mr Richmore?. All cash deposits gratefully accepted…. NO REFUNDS!.
April 1st, 2017 at 12:53I love April 1st!
April 1st, 2017 at 13:10Good One!!!
April 1st, 2017 at 14:28april fools? that was close to the truth!!!!
April 1st, 2017 at 15:33A cassette would’ve been sweet
