One of the better class of rock groups 'Deep Purple' were excellent at their job! This was one of the albums I obtained and attempted to wear out, and at 36 shillings and 8 pence I was taking a chance! Rock groups today often have a good musician or two but often appear to me at least to be a bit 'plastic,' a wee bit made up if you like. Deep Purple were the real deal! Today however time caught up with 71 year old John Lord the classically trained keyboard player and one of the two founder members of the band. He died after suffering an awful illness but leaves behind a good few memories. BBC John Lord
