Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The last DP album to feature original vocalist Rod Evans and original bassist Nick Simper. No real hints to the hard rock juggernauts they would soon become, but still a heady mix of late-'60s rock featuring plenty of fine Ritchie Blackmore solos and now 5 bonus tracks. The best known track here is their version of Donovan's Lalena. Album Tracks 1. Chasing Shadows 2. Blind 3. Lalena 4. Fault Line 5. The Painter 6. Why Didn't Rosemary 7. Bird Has Flown 8. April 9. The Bird Has Flown (Alternate B-Side Version) 10. Emmaretta (Studio A-Side) 11. Emmaretta (BBC Top Gear Session) 12. Lalena (BBC Radio Session) 13. The Painter (BBC Radio Session)

Digitally remastered and expanded of the 15th studio album from the British Hard Rock band. Following the departure of founder member Ritchie Blackmore during the 1993 tour to support THE BATTLE RAGES ON, the band would eventually find a more permanent and less temperamental axe-slinger in the shape of former Dixie Dregs guitarist Steve Morse. Originally released in 1996, and with all songs credited to all five band members - Jon Lord on keyboards, Ian Paice on drums, singer Ian Gillan and Roger Glover on bass guitar - guitarist Morse certainly makes his mark on this guitar orientated, and often quite experimental record. Tracks such as 'Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming' and 'Vavoom Ted the Mechanic' would soon become mainstays of Deep Purple's live set. Also included on this edition is the Japan bonus track 'Don't Hold Your Breath' plus the single edit of 'Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming'. Album Tracks 1. Vavoom Ted the Mechanic 2. Loosen My Strings 3. Soon Forgotten 4. Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming 5. Cascades I'm Not Your Lover 6. The Aviator 7. Rosa's Cantina 8. A Castle Full of Rascals 9. A Touch Away 10. Hey Cisco 11. Somebody Stole My Guitar 12. The Purpendicular Waltz 13. Don't Hold Your Breath (Japan Bonus Track) 14. Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming (Single Edit)
