- Less is more

How can the best music from one of the best bands of all time not make a fantastic Greatest Hits album? If you tamper with the music, that's how.

I listened to this and somehow didn't feel right. The CD gathered dust for more than a year, and when I "rediscovered" it, didn't feel like playing it. "Made in Japan" however...

The simple fact is that Deep Purple's music should be listened to the way it was intended to. I still maintain that their live albums are their best albums. Check out the excellent digitally remastered

, or check out the DVD section. This one is best avoided.

- Remaster puts magic back into Deep Purple

I got so much enjoyment out of this band when I was a teenager and now (twenty five years later) playing the digital remaster is like hearing Deep Purple for the first time! You can enjoy Ian Paice's brilliant drum-playing like never before (!), Jon Lord's distinctive organ sound is crystal clear, and I can for the first make out what Ritchie Blackmore's wibbly guitar is actually doing! Ironic, isn't it, that advanced technology may prove to be the main cause behind the revival of bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc? Not a bad thing. Listen to Highway Star. It positively cooks, while Demon's Eye, Smoke on the Water and Never Before sound as fresh as ever (which is more than can be said of most of Led Zeppelin's output). Some of these songs sound like they were recorded yesterday. Points off for the inclusion last few tracks which in my view don't quite cut it. The rest is Rock n Roll Rolls Royce.

Take my word for it. Deep Purple were, in their heyday, absolutely brilliant. This is the proof.

- LOVE THIS CD

I just love this CD. This is the first Deep Purple CD I have owned and I got this one because it seemed to have all their hits on it and also becaus I think it was the only one that has "When a Blind Man Cries", which to me, is an incredible song. My 12 year old son loves the CD too and we have listened to it every morning this week while in the car driving to his school. People are very surprised to hear a 12 year old saying he loves Deep Purple!
