A news containing the track listing for third fully authorised DVD production containing various video footages from period of Deep Purple's 1968 - 76 heyday is flying around these days. And it would be nothing short but sensational news if not some gloom surrounding it. While some of the items planned for the DVD are known to collectors for a long time and showcase Messers Blackmore, Lord, Gillan, Glover and Paice in the Mk II line-up at their most frightening best - the other items seem to be of an unknown origin and sourcing. This causes a lot of speculation among the fans, not only in terms of the rare items quality, but also presence of one hot question: is that all that's lying in the vaults? So far the loud voice of Simon Robinson from the http://www.deep-purple.net/ is suspiciosly quiet about commenting any of the tracklist positions. Water filling the mouth of the purple wisemen seems to be a bad sign of alert for this - anyway - long awaited and announced Holy Video Purple Grail.
One could wonder whether there's going something behind the scenes or not? It would be good for this release to be as comprehensive as possible, just to put a punch in the face of a label producing cheap, dodgy, unauthorised "Critical Review" series of crap aimed just to rip the unaware collectors off their money. They're quite aware of the fact how much a devoted fan will do to even try to discover some uncirculated archieve bits of a favourite band, and they do attempt to make some bucks from it.
Anyway let's hope that this will turn up a well combined, revised and worthy Purple Pandora's Box. If it turns out what it was promised to be for years - there will be no better classic rock documentary available ever. The footage from Paris 1970 with Jon Lord commanding a live sonic "open-heart surgery" on the upwired back of his Hammond organ with a drumstick is capable to freak out every mind of a rockfan. Even a Keith Emerson pump-and-circumstance-sort-of-thing follower will find this item worth a go seeing this material alone, and there is promised to be more of that sort of things that sore eyes of a Rockaa have never ever seen before. Hope so. More details when they're globally confirmed.

Howdy! Zestaw faktycznie zapowiada się ciekawie. Przydałoby się w końcu jakieś całościowe wydawnictwo a la How the West Was Won LZ. Raz, a porządnie, wrzucić wszystko co jest dostępne w danej chwili. Dla fanów wiadomo - radość, dla nieoficjalnych wydawnictw - pętla na szyję, dla grupy - prestiżowe wydawnictwo-wizytówka. Niestety, będzie to zapewne pochlastany zbiór rzeczy, sposród których część znamy, a część ...znamy z nieoficjalnego obiegu. Miejmy nadzieję, że chociaż podrasują jakość obrazu u dźwięku, bo inaczej będzie satysfakcja będzie niepełna. Acha, zerknąłem na okładkę nowego wydawnictwa. Nie wiem czy jest to wersja ostateczna, ale wzbudza zgrozę. Mimo to, jestem ciekawy. Pozdr, bk
