Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great collection from Deep Purple , it includes all there hits , the sound is incredible , highly recommended.Free Music Review: Jag snob
Hit: 2 Stars
I bought it for 'Hush' as I like the Jaguar ad running for the XF, and I own a Jag. Only four good songs on the CD; Hush, Smoke on the Water, My Woman from Tokyo, and Kentucky Woman. The rest are pretty weak. Unless you own a Jag, don't buy it.Free Music Review: It's got 'em all
Hit: 5 Stars
A must have for your collection. Nothing really
left out this time. Very satisfied.
Free Music Review: A solid sampling from a classic band!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're a hardcore fan, this collection isn't for you: you, naturally, have obscure favorites of your own that probably aren't featured on this CD. Of course, if you're that hardcore, you probably own all those albums and as such have no need for this collection, which is instead targeted to the more casual fan. If you fall into this latter category, rejoice, because this is an excellent sampler of Deep Purple's most well-known hits.
The collection touches on all the major Purple "eras," with the focus being primarily on the "Mk II" period in which the band generated most of its classic material. Mk I and Mk III don't go ignored, though, which is much more than can be said for bargain-bin "best-ofs" you might stumble across. While it's not comprehensive, per se, this collection is your best bet if you're interested in owning an inexpensive but high-quality audio overview of this stellar band's storied career.
Free Music Review: Great bang for the buck
Hit: 5 Stars
Given the inconsistency of the Purple line-up through the years, it's quite amazing that they didn't end up second-rate hack acts playing at obscure county fairs or dingy bars trying to make ends meet. Somehow this outfit has retained its popularity, and the budget priced "The Very Best Of Deep Purple" is a great compilation. While it doesn't contain material from "Come Taste The Band" that featured the late Tommy Bolin or any Steve Morse-era material, currently Purple's lead guitarist, the focal point of Jon Lord's trademark organ and Ritchie Blackmore's slicing leadwork make this a very solid collection, indeed.
Of course, "Smoke On the Water" is here, but so are lots of other gems, including their first hit "Hush", a great reworking of Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman", and "Burn", all great tracks.
The set closes with "Knocking At Your Back Door", from "Perfect Strangers", the album that reunited the classic line-up from "Machine Head" and "Made In Japan". Ian Gillan is one of rock's great vocalists, and the best Purple ever had. He still sings for them today.
The other must-have CD is their live masterpiece "Made In Japan", with much tougher versions of "Highway Star" and "Smoke On The Water", and a real space jam on the 20 minute plus "Space Truckin'". Reacquaint yourself with this great band or introduce yourself today.
