Deep Purple: History, Hits & Highlights '68-'76

undefined

Deep Purple are one of the most successful and revered British rock bands of all time. This new two-disc set covers the initial phase of the band's existence through four different line-ups from 1968 to 1976. This era produced the classic Deep Purple albums such as "In Rock", "Fireball", "Burn" and "Machine Head" that created their legend and still provide the back of their live sets today despite the ongoing commercial success of the band post their 1984 reunion. Combining full performances and a small number of archive interviews featuring much rare and previously unreleased live, studio and TV footage this superb set is the definitive collection of the early years of Deep Purple.
