It’s a killer machine

Here are some grey-haired gentlemen and a whizz-bang guitar player slightly awkwardly fulfilling their part of the deal with the purveyors of status symbols.

Thanks to Mike Whiteley for the heads-up.

/me humming to the motif of I want my MTV: I want my wax cylinders...

    Purveyors of status symbols , yup, I remember how in the 70s the owners of these gadgets were the greatest musical snobs, my cousin was one of them!

    hm, so Paicey is/was a snob? He sais that he bought one in 1970…not great how they let themselves be used like car salesmen for the rich. I´m a big DP -Fan but this isn´t good, I recall their meeting with the Russian president years ago; sometimes they just don’t seem to notice when they should really say no.

    Yo,

    I checked-out the website months ago when it was first posted with the new album as a sales-pitch…Splat indeed !

    It is good to see that Revox has survived all-theses-years with so-many good things not having any longevity these days, ultimately getting noticed by the stock-exchange & then taken over by investors that sell-you-out to China to make a profit…

    I hope that back-up parts for these machines are available for everyone in the long-run. Stock-up on those rubber-band driver parts yo !

    And is it me, or do others think-it-strange to place a piece-of-glass in front of your speakers ?…

    Ciao !

    I think it’s great that Purple were selected to promote a device that I’ve never owned but would have liked to. It is in keeping with their high sonic standards .. unlike the actual Deep Purple wallpaper, which their management agreed to in the 60’s 😀 Ian G said “What next? Deep Purple toilet paper” .
    Re the Vlad Putin connection. The band played Russia for the fans before the current war and accepted awards from the government. NB … They stated they were against the illegal war with Ukraine when it was waged and gave back the awards with an accompanying condemnatory statement. 🟣 ☑️
