Hush — in channels
Listen to just bass, just guitar or just organ, drums, and vocals on a studio recording of Hush.
New on Youtube, three clips purporting to offer these instruments played by Deep Purple in separate channels:
Ritchie channel (just guitar):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPYzEBQKMWc
Rod Evans, Ian Paice, Jon Lord channel (just organ, drums and voice):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbBJ_pQI5qM
Nick Simper channel (just bass):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQUZe7DEn0g
Sounds pretty genuine – but where’s it from? Could it somehow have been wrangled out of a surround mix? Fascinating still the same. Could we please have all the albums like this. Roger? 😉
Update:
Jon Lord has denied that these recordings feature Deep Purple. Read his comments.
Thanks to landinleonardo for uploading this little gem.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Well, thats what should be ‘have been done since the very beginning of DVD storage was avaliable…a full mix and a separate tracks where , with proper software, you could hear the detailing and engeneering work on the separate tracks….that would offer priceless moments on recordings, as well giving to the musicians possibility to have their work being sold to producers, djs,offering samples, etc…and besides that you could mix your own song, making audible things sometimes hidden , up the guitar and organ, etc
I would buy albums like that…easily…
But DP are not very know for ‘quick’ movings, risks or choices…

August 11th, 2009 at 23:50Just ask the uploader via PM.
Maybe Deep Purple Guitar Hero is on it’s way.
August 12th, 2009 at 02:08this awesome! sounds like you are sitting next to them in the studio while the recording was taking place!
August 12th, 2009 at 03:14How did they get access to the master tapes to solo these channels?!?
August 12th, 2009 at 06:28lovely!
August 12th, 2009 at 07:16Wow – thats fantastic… give me more…
hey guys,
who can tell me, how I can split the simple (guitar) parts of a song.
Ritchie Blackmore is the greatest …
LLRnR
August 12th, 2009 at 08:35I have my doubts it’s original…the guitar track is well done but it doesn’t sound like Ritchie in ’68, especially the brief guitar solo near the end…
August 12th, 2009 at 08:52This is a hoax! For a start that isn’t Rod Evans singing! It can’t be genuine because the drums and bass were recorded on the same track! Nick Simper told me that! What rubbish will they come up with next?
August 12th, 2009 at 09:55fake!
August 12th, 2009 at 11:05🙂
I tried to start these 3 videos at the same moment,just to think to be on mixing for a short time..I failed!!! gggrrr
August 12th, 2009 at 11:10I agree with fdr at #8..at the fisrt moment I thought the same thing about guitar at the end..

August 12th, 2009 at 11:22I asked to my self the same thing you say when time ago I listended this
http://www.linearock.it/rl/linearock/musicnews.do?id=31068
i agree with Jerry and FDR that is not Ritchie or Jon for sure. I had to scroll down to see if anyone agreed, i was surprised fans were taken in by this.
It’s a good fake but a fake non the less.
August 12th, 2009 at 11:29It is bogus… but nevertheless pretty good 😉
August 12th, 2009 at 11:50Here is also Highway Star “Multitracks”
http://todopurple.blogspot.com/
Ofcourse we can discuss the truth of what someone is saying in the DP camps about 1000 s of things……
One intriguing example of a story or history in the making or not is one by Jon Lord.
Did HE really hear David Coverdale for the first time on THAT TAPE when they were looking for a replacement for Ian Gillan?
Or is true what CG said somewhere?
That Jon perhaps would not like the REAL story becoming a legend that HE actually did hear DC years before ?
But I also feel Jerry is right.
Although it really made me scratch my head, I also dont think this is THEM.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:31The tempo is slower (which might lead to the lowering of the voices), but it does sound like the original. Amazing, just amazing. Where did those guys get it?
August 12th, 2009 at 14:09Ah, yeah: I’d buy all the Purple albums for the fourth time (LP, CD, remaster and this) if they made that kind of stuff available.
August 12th, 2009 at 14:10Hey, no one said it`s the real thing, someone just called the different channel by musisians names. It`s very well done, similar to the original but just the sound is different but it`s hard to recreate the same `68 sound with todays amps. And also the organ sound, you just have to be Jon to make it sound like it should 🙂
August 12th, 2009 at 14:27it’s fake. I’m organist it’s the sound of the native B4 a vst plugin !
But it could be a great backing track for a guitar hero !
August 12th, 2009 at 15:02cool stuff – very groovy …
give’s more?
August 12th, 2009 at 16:31I’m not so sure that it is fake. There’s even that hoarse singing part at 2:24
August 12th, 2009 at 18:45Jon Lord says it isn’t him – or the others.
Read on:

this is fake but a dam good copy id say
August 12th, 2009 at 22:39finally having time to listen to all of this closer, it is fake. good job though!
August 13th, 2009 at 01:22It’s curious don’t it?They recorded in four tracks (i mean the Shades album)indeed,the engineer mixed two rithm guitar and the lead breaks in one track,strange is that the guy mixed voice organ and drums in another track and bass in another alone.
August 13th, 2009 at 03:05I doubt about the floor ton sounding as it was close miked,very low and round, little common in those days.The bass sounds as if recorded right throu the desk,very clean and with no leakage from the other instruments.The highs in the bass are very unusual at that time whe the high frequency was no that further than 3 or 4 Khz.It sounds very brite.The guitar tone is suspect,also close miked,and the first two breaks have nothing to do with the original recording.And that final guitar solo makes me remember of the first time this song was recorded,april 1968 in Trident studios,a demo version Derek Lawrence send to Tetragramaton in LA,and to some Brit companies.The demo consisted of Hush Help and Love Help Me.The definitive version was recorded at Pye studios in may.
Who knows?
Wow! What an elaborate hoax!?! I only listened to the Blackmore track and that guy has his vibrato off pat…
Purplepriest, I heard that DC’s band “The Government supported DP in 72 and Jon asked for DC’s phone number – just in case.
August 13th, 2009 at 06:37Andrea, just listened to the Monkees/Maiden moshup, is this a new trend? Still can’t understand how they can access the master tapes in this way…Or is that fake also??
August 13th, 2009 at 06:42Blimey! That sounds like Rod Evans!
August 13th, 2009 at 06:46I’m not a musician and can’t play any instrument. So it’s not easy for me to say it is a fake or not.
I’m sure, that could have been made from the (or a) four-channel-recording of the song.
But why the intro (wolves) and the last notes are missing?
Interesting for me is that you can hear some “wind-noises” on the second mix like in the original mix. So its sounds original –
but:
the singer is NOT Nick Simper, I’m pretty sure.
Nevertheless, well done and intersting. The guitar is great. But it should have bneen stated were are the recordings come from.
It would be nice to have a mix of these schannels together (mono).
A multi-channel mix of “Highway Star” from “Machine Head” exists.
Google for “Highway Star” “mogg-file”. There you can play every channel alone and it’s no fake. e.g. Big Ian is clearly singing. I wish a multichannel-DVD of each recording would surface for fans. the Highway Star mix is so interesting!!!

August 13th, 2009 at 11:28I’m amazed anybody could for a second believe this is Nick Simper playing, it sounds nothing like him, both as regards his idiosyncratic groove and the sound of his Precision Bass back then. Done plain bad.
August 13th, 2009 at 18:08Now I just found the icing of the cake. Is this the world’s best Gillan impersonator or what 😉
http://todopurple.blogspot.com/
I mean the vocal ‘Smoke On the Water’ track. I think that must pretty much be the end of discussion ‘Machine Head track wise’. Listen to the other tracks as well. I’d say these are all original.

August 13th, 2009 at 19:28I think Deep Purple are better musicians than that… The timing is not the most perfect of you listen
August 13th, 2009 at 19:28I found out that hush is from the Guitar Hero II video game and its not deep purple actually
August 13th, 2009 at 23:56If these are hoax’s, they are incredibly elaborate! How can you pull such incredible impersonators (in terms of tone, delivery, sound and attack) together for a hoax…And do these people really exist? I for one am convinced that these are real.
Magnus…Perfect timing does not make a great musician. there are many aspects and one of the most important is fitting in with the nuances of your band mates. Musos are not machines and when under studio pressure sometimes we are not perfect! I have been mortified with my own timing when “soloing” my own work in the past, however, when you sit it in the track it works:)
I would dearly love to know if these files are real and if not I’d like to meet the impersonators…they are something else!
August 14th, 2009 at 06:23to Jeff #27
really.I don’t know if this is a new trend,I think it is just a idea from a dj…
this is the guy that make this ironmonkey
http://www.djschmolli.net/
this is just a curiosity to me,this is not my
kind of music..it is just a discovering..
ciao Jeff
cheers
AndreA
August 14th, 2009 at 07:58I think I would believe Jerry (Bloom) at #9. He runs the moreblackthanpurple website and is, I think quite close to Nick Simper, as it is thru M>B>T>P that the Good old Boys Live CD at the Deep purple Convention is being distributed in the UK and Jerry also organised that event.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:44Also, the “channel” tracks are shorter than thise on the LP, so if anything are speeded up.
a 26
Hi Jeff
I must admit, like many others, I did NOT hear it from bandmembers or being present, WISH I HAD BEEN!!!!, but read it in books and so on about the band.
I regularly voice my frustration about what and who to believe or not….
Regardless who is saying what.
I mean…..They themselves have spoken out that stories contradict, amongst other reasons that some people like to stir up things.
In the meantime, one is being influenced by all those writings and integrates it in ones idea about things…..
Sic….
@ 29 Nick Simper?! You must be joking ofcourse….
On the whole I felt from the beginning THIS was not THEM but unlike some others I cant technically explain why.
I just recognise it or not, multichanneled and so on or not…..
But ofcourse, Rods voice was close…..But not close enough, hehehe
August 14th, 2009 at 11:35Ciao Andrea…
Having listened to the Highway Star “In Channels” This is getting scary! As I said earlier, it’s impossible to say that these are genuine but boy do they sound real! As i said previously, it’s not the specific performances, it’s more the remarkable attention to detail. Not just impersonantions…the tone of the Strat on Blackmores track sounds seasoned and you litterally would have to find the original Marshalls he used and then process/record them in exactly the same way. you then have to find five guys who can impersonante Purple to that degree…Stunning!
Hi PurplePriest:)
You are right…Perhaps the management should come forward under these circumstances. It would put us all out of our misery.
Musicians can be very protective when listening back to there own work “dry and Naked” especially when they were young and inexperienced. I’m sure Jon is sincere in his statements, but has he ever listened to his keyboard part in “Hush” solo’d before? If he has, it would be unusual…
August 16th, 2009 at 10:09yes Jeff ( #38 )
i agree with you..but at the same time I think that
all this make me thinking about
false production on sale for unpublished branded songs / new versions..
Am I saying a stupidity or there is a real danger of this kind music piracy?
ciao Friends
August 17th, 2009 at 14:25I hve just tried to compare these 3 sounds to the original on THE SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE cd
The guitar keys are different,better to say that on this viseo does not exist: after the first key there is a short feed back,they are different at his end
The keyboards plays different mainly on the solo,
also in the beggining before Evans the “chicken” sound of keyboard are differents..
the drumming sounds different..on the original version there is more reverb,echos
this is what I think..
😎
August 17th, 2009 at 14:59To Jeffs
August 17th, 2009 at 19:59>I heard that DC’s band “The Government supported DP in 72 and Jon asked for DC’s phone number – just in case.
It was on November 22, 1969 in Bradford.
Thanks Andrea…I’ve just checked that and concur with you:)
@41 I heard that also, didn’t know the year and date though…Thanks!!
August 20th, 2009 at 06:49This take is fake… Rod don’t sing there and the music are several mixes takes… strangely, it does not admit any discussion… it’s a work as this one: http://www.linearock.it/rl/linearock/musicnews.do?id=31068 … this is excellent…
August 21st, 2009 at 06:24How the hell can any fan think this is Deep Purple-a deaf man could tell it is fake.
August 24th, 2009 at 13:50Well Gabriel
Your link surely directs to some more very funny ones, for example the Kiss vs Michael Jackson clip, hehehe
August 25th, 2009 at 11:45This sounds very much like a contemporary recording.
The guitar in particular does not have the vintage sound of the old ES-335 used on the original, and the organ also lacks authenticity.
I would say this is a tutorial recording of the type you can get to learn to play guitar–the kind in which one version has the guitar in the mix and the other does not.
It’s not Deep Purple.
August 25th, 2009 at 21:50The samples are taken from guitar hero, just listen to that version and you will hear.
