Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Well said Ian Paice and a nice looking set there indeed. I know what he means regarding the smaller cd booklets and myself and no doubt many others have never loved that reduction in size of the images and words. It isn’t just growing older and needing reading glasses my friends. The original album size is much better and that is why I initially kept my vinyl collection after commencing replacing them with cd. However after a while I had to get rid of them, too much hassle moving and storing them. Ian Paice on the drums, yes. Cheers.
August 10th, 2025 at 01:21I guess it’s crucial to get that ordered 😊
The wall behind Ian P, that I would like to study closely 🤩
August 10th, 2025 at 05:51I love the sonic characteristics of CDs, but women do teach us: There are aspects where size matters. You have to come to grips with it.
August 10th, 2025 at 11:58Even a magnifying glass wouldnt be enough for me nowdays and i wont buy the vinyl cos I aint got a record player..
August 10th, 2025 at 12:49so I stick with the original Made in Japan..as I said before.. its good enough for me.
Cheers!
We should rename the site The Highway Grandpa! 😂
Can we have a release of the booklet in braille please?
When blind men cry, there ain’t no sadder tale.
August 10th, 2025 at 14:38@3 Size matters only as much as it does. Paicey is not the biggest guy in the world, yet his performance is remarkable. I learned from him that what really matters is actively using all your limbs, anticipating what your mate wants from you and playing the right licks.
August 11th, 2025 at 08:29#5 LOL!!!
August 11th, 2025 at 08:50Now I’m confused again Uwe. I always thought it was ‘it’s not the size that matters, it’s what you do with it that counts’. All the good women just roll their eyes when men waffle on about all their inadequacies. Mind you, all the bad women apparently don’t. Not that I would know, as I have lead a saintly life with saintly ladies. Raised as a Catholic don’t forget. Cheers.
August 11th, 2025 at 08:55That looks very nice indeed, i’m sure the sound of it is very much improved that i might have to purchase.
August 11th, 2025 at 11:56Yes, Georgivs, being a good rhythm section together is of course key as well. Never forget what the term rock’n’roll originally meant.
“All the good women just roll their eyes when men waffle …”
They all lie, Herr MacGregor, didn’t you know that? The Catholic ones especially, it’s a survival method to them. And their good actors.
I will not be too strict with you about your apparent ignorance given your limited exposure to them for which you cannot really be blamed under historic circumstances, I gather they were a scarce resource on your island …

I too was raised a catholic and you all can see how I turned out.
Gotta love them catholic girls…

August 11th, 2025 at 23:15@ 11 – good ole Zappa eh? Who else and no wonder he railed against that censorship crap that the government was on about. Even John Denver joined in against that. Being referred to as a drug influencing songwriter (Rocky Mountain High), says it all doesn’t it. Did Frank over do it at times, yes most probably. He certainly did not hold back. Cheers

Well, Russ, I wouldn’t say it was all for nothing, you’re still diligently moving rocks … ☝️🥸
August 12th, 2025 at 11:54It appears that the Book/Program are the same things that were in the last Box Set (That I was lucky enough to get at release when the CD’s came in an LP sized box).
Can anyone confirm that?
August 12th, 2025 at 18:55@14 Indeed this is the case.
August 13th, 2025 at 15:40Mine is due to arrive this week (I received notification it has already been sent), Jerry, I’ll let you know when it’s here (I have the last boxed set too).
August 13th, 2025 at 17:19On a very prominent person’s facebook page, someone mentioned this:
https://youtu.be/iwMEILToxwo?si=ymtarX026iZE6oNK
It’s a danish band, Gasolin, that doesn’t exist anymore. But indeed they were great.
August 14th, 2025 at 09:28In my humble opinion no one can ever be better than Purple, with Ian as the vocalist, but anyway, I would like you to feast your ears upon this gem
– enjoy 😃
🧐
August 14th, 2025 at 13:50@16….Uwe please let everyone know how the recording sounds better
August 14th, 2025 at 17:16It will likely just sound different, the 2014 remixes were already pretty good in my view and ears. A lot of preferences for certain mixes are just matters of taste, but yeah, I’ll report.
August 14th, 2025 at 22:07MIJ tee-shirt, cap & socks arrived today. T-Shirt is very nice, discrete logo on the front and picture and track list on the back. Socks are thick (not summer wear) with Deep Purple on one ankle and Made In Japan on the other.
August 18th, 2025 at 12:44Made in Japan? People will now ask where you were conceived, David, and have all these Madame Butterfly visuals in their head. You better come up with a good story. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

August 20th, 2025 at 19:14Coming up with good stories is not an issue 😉
August 24th, 2025 at 07:39I can see it now, David San (さん) … the sword is your soul, the joining of weapon and man …
