History:
Recorded at Britannia Row Studios, London between March 20 and April 14 1981.
This is the second of two solo albums Marsden recorded while in Whitesnake.
Between March 20th and April 14th 1981 Bernie worked on this album.
This album brings together many of the musicians he’d previously worked with on his first solo album “And About Time Too” as well as Cozy Powell’s album “Tilt.”
They recorded at Britannia Row in London.
EMI was annoyed at the Bernie Marsden albums that were being imported and offered to pick up the rights to the first album for UK release and urged him to release another album.
Bernie: “All the stuff was written and ready to roll. I stayed there for three weeks then gave the tapes to Guy and said ‘Mix it’ I never saw a copy until it came out – as you can see!”
Apparently Bernie was not happy with the cover art.
Grew up in Birmingham and became good friends with Bill Ward. Eventually ended up touring with the band and doing a number of commissions for various rock stars including Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) , Ian Paice (Deep Purple and later Whitesnake), Ozzy Ozbourne (Black Sabbath) and George Harrison (The Beatles).
Al Boyd was a soul singer and composer from Cleveland, Ohio.
Jeff Bowen worked with The Commodores, The Temptations, and more
On the original album there was a heavier typeface for this track. Originally the song in this place was called “Always Love You.” Bernie said, “Always Love You So” was very very wimpish. It was almost a sixties pastiche and EMI said ‘er sorry Bernie but we really don’t think it’ll be good for your image’ and I agreed with them and said ‘what do you want me to do’?”
EMI offered to pay for a track to replace it and used the song “Always Love You” as a b-side for the single release.
When it was time to release the two albums EMI asked what label he’d like to be on and he said Parlophone and the resurrected the label especially for him. The only other group on Parlophone at the time were The Beatles.
There were plans to do live shows in the UK to promote the albums but Bernie was too busy with Whitesnake.
There was a radio session in August of 1981 where four of the songs were covered with Coverdale coming in to sing.

History:
Cennaro and Pugh were looking for a drummer and Aynsley Dunbar recommended Caldwell.
They got together and started rehearsing in late 1974.
Cennaro had long been friends with Peter Frampton who was able to put them in touch with a record label. They were initially managed by Frampton’s manager Dee Anthony then later Jerry Weintraub who managed Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan.

Reception and Charts:
The band broke up shortly after the album release.
Caldwell stated that the band had continued issues communicating with the band’s management.
Pugh and Caldwell also were suffering from addiction.
The band only played live twice both at The Starwood in July of 1975 in Hollywood, CA
.Cennamo reunited with his friends from Rennaissance under the new name Illusion.
Caldwell returned to Captain Beyond for one more album and tour.
Relf returned to England after the recording of the album and sadly died of electrocution in 1976 while playing guitar in his basement. He had long had lung issues and had one removed when in The Yardbirds. Medication he took to control his asthma and emphysema may have lead to him being unable to survive the shock.
In the 1980s there was an attempt by Pugh and Caldwell to reform the group with Jeff Fenholt on vocals. The attempt was unsuccessful.
One of the main reasons that Armageddon did not achieve the heights of fame realized by other equally inspired rock bands was because they never got to take their mind-blowing record on the road. But it was certainly their original intention to do so, and Armageddon’s management at the time (Jerry Weintraub) had even secured a very desirable arrangement for them: an opening slot for Eric Clapton’s 1975 tour. If you think about this prospect, two things come to mind:
1) Keith Relf and Clapton had been bandmates in The Yardbirds – after ten years of going in different musical directions, it might be interesting to see them reunite for a big tour.
2) It may not have been a perfect match to have Armageddon as an opening band (listen to the Armageddon album, then put on “461 Ocean Boulevard”). At that time, Clapton was re-inventing himself as an artist, favoring more of a singer – frontman role. It seems that Eric had been greatly influenced by his associations with George Harrison, The Band, and Delaney & Bonnie, and this was reflected in his music circa the mid 70’s.
Unfortunately, for still unknown reasons, it was decided at the 11th hour to cancel the tour. Without a doubt, a tour of this type would have sealed their fate as rock & roll legends. But as Martin Pugh said recently “We were anxious to go on the road, and a tour with Eric certainly had great possibilities for us. But in retrospect, Armageddon was not an opening act anyway – we really were a headlining band”.
Two live performances did take place in Hollywood, CA in July of 1975 – below is an advertisment from the “LA Times” for the only Armageddon shows that ever occured:

History:
This band was put together for the express purpose of recording this one album.
The man behind the idea was a German businessman, Leo Muller. The name was actually an alias used by Dave Miller who was a record producer who ran a number of budget music companies. He was actually an American.
His budget label was called Stereo Gold Award and he also did an album called “Tribute to Jimi Hendrix by The Purple Fox.”
Muller got in touch with Thin Lizzy to do the project.
The group did not want to do the project as they were trying to make Thin Lizzy their own thing but they were also desperately in need of money.
Phil Lynott decided that he wasn’t able to sing like Gillan and decided to only play bass and do backing vocals.
The result was that they recruited a singer, Benny White, from the Dublin-based group Elmer Fudd as they were known for doing Deep Purple covers at their shows.
Brian Downey called Benny White “an Ian Gillan clone.”
Thin Lizzy had no keyboard player so Elmer Fudd’s keyboard player Dave “Mojo” Lennox jumped in.
The band members were paid 60 pounds a day to travel in to De Lane Lea in London to record the album.
Brian Downey recalls that the rehearsals for recording took about “Two or three hours” before the full day recording session.
Thin Lizzy were paid 1000 pounds for the recording but their names were not included on the album.
The band pictured on the cover is not Funky Junction as they never played live. Instead they used a concert photo of the band Hard Stuff featuring John Gustafson.
In Germany the album was called “The Rock Machine Plays the Best of Deep Purple.
The album was sold at Woolworths for 50p.
Notes
MER373 seen on sleeve and spine, MER 373 seen on labels. Yellow labels – on this version the ‘Made in England’ is directly below the publisher credits (there is another UK version where the text is at the label rim).
Text on back cover of LP:
Funky Junction are an exciting new group that has the pulse of today. In this tribute to Deep Purple, they play many of Purple’s hits. UK and world wide audiences are acclaiming them for the great group they are.
FUNKY JUNCTION – THE SOUND OF TODAY!

What is a Palamatoon? I have no idea but it seems to be the sound of young Thin Lizzy dicking about on synths while in the midst of making a cack-handed Deep Purple knockoff LP for the Woolworths crowd. Yes it’s that good.

No worries! I wanted to upgrade because I truly love the content you guys continue to provide. It is fun to listen to DP fans here in the United States (other than me and my brothers) talk about their legendary albums and everyone else they influenced. Keep up the great work with you and John. Like Ritchie, I’ll continue to look out the window while everybody else gets run over by a car looking at their phones ! Maybe Bob Dylan will walk up to me and ask me, “Hey, who the he’ll are you?” Have a great rest of summer for you and John!
Leezus Christ Superstar joins us at the “$3 Nobody’s Perfect” Tier
Hey y’all! I’m new ’round these parts! My name is Leigh and i’m from Ontario, Canada around 2 hours northeast of Toronto (kinda between Toronto and Ottawa). Been a Purple fan since around 1985 when the current album Perfect Strangers was a soundtrack in my childhood home. Before that time “Electric Avenue” was my jam. I dug in further when i got my fisher price record player in 1986 and inherited my mom’s old record collection. Only three albums were of interest to me, Machine Head, Shades Of Deep Purple and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. I also had Supertramp “Crimes Of The Century” and it became a frisbee after first listening.
Fast forward to last year and i was looking for a non true crime podcast to listen to and my first thought was a music podcast and my #1 band of all time was the first thing i searched for. Took me about 6 months to get caught up and needless to say, i’m a huge fan. I’ve learned a ton and appreciate all the time and effort it must take to produce something so well done. Anyways enough of me, thanks for doing what you do!

History:
Steven Wilson
Founding member, guitarist, vocalist of the band Porcupine Tree
Prog-rock wunderkind Steven Wilson is using his studio skills to give legendary rock albums a new lease of life.
“The equivalent of polishing the Sistine Chapel, that’s what I feel I’m doing sometimes with these classic records.” Steven Wilson is talking about his remixing work, which he began in 2009 as a sideline to his very successful career as a musician and producer. So far, he’s polished classic records by King Crimson, Roxy Music, Jethro Tull, Yes, XTC, Tears For Fears and more, creating new stereo and 5.1 surround mixes that have been generally praised by fans and critics.
Press Release
(June 18, 2025 – Los Angeles, CA) On August 15, 1972, Deep Purple took the stage in Japan for the first of three shows that would give rise to one of rock’s most celebrated live albums, Made in Japan. Today, Warner announces a new Super Deluxe Edition of the landmark release, due out August 15—exactly 53 years after the first performance was recorded.
Made in Japan (Super Deluxe Edition) features new stereo and Dolby ATMOS mixes of the original by acclaimed producer Steven Wilson, all three concerts newly remixed by Richard Digby Smith, and several rare single edits. It will be released as a 5CD/Blu-ray set at retailers nationwide, and a 10LP black vinyl edition, available exclusively from www.deeppurple.com and Rhino.com. Pre-order HERE.
A 2LP black vinyl version of Steven Wilson remixes will be available on August 15 and October 3 in the U.S., Canada, and Japan at select independent record stores. The digital companion will be available everywhere on August 15.
Originally intended as a Japan-only release, this double live album became a surprise global phenomenon. Released in the U.K. in December 1972 and in the U.S. the following March, Made in Japan went platinum in America and several European countries.
Singer Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord, bassist Roger Glover, and drummer Ian Paice—Deep Purple’s famed Mk II lineup—turned studio staples like “Smoke On The Water,”“Highway Star,” and “Space Truckin’” into explosive live statements. “We came halfway around the world and found the audience singing every word. It was magical,” Glover recalls in the collection’s liner notes.
The band enlisted engineer Martin Birch—who had worked on several of their best-known studio albums—to record the shows to eight-track tape at Festival Hall in Osaka and the Budokan in Tokyo. The performances on Made in Japan (Super Deluxe Edition) capture Deep Purple at full throttle, powering through songs from their then-new album Machine Head, along with fan favorites like “Child In Time,”“Strange Kind Of Woman,” and “Speed King.” The collection also includes rare single edits, like the German version of “Black Night” and the Mexican edit of “Space Truckin’.”
The live album garnered widespread critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone declaring it “Purple’s definitive metal monster, a spark-filled execution of the typical Purple style.” This recognition led to its impressive ranking at No. 6 on their “Readers’ Poll: The 10 Best Live Albums of All Time.” AllMusic also praised the album, stating that “Deep Purple pushed its music into the kind of deliberate excess that made heavy metal what it became.” Additionally, the album achieved commercial success, landing at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Wilson harnesses the raw energy of the original tapes in his new stereo and Atmos mixes. “It’s all completely as it happened on the night,” he says. “The album has a power and sense of abandon that they never quite captured in the studio. Hopefully this new mix makes it feel even more like you’re there.”
