- I’m a patreon! I was dragged into this auditory hostage situation through an unholy chain of custody: my best friend’s fiancé’s roommate’s gay ex-lover’s third-removed hospice nurse happened to mention you guys, and the psychic damage just trickled right down to me. My history with Deep Purple is a complete void. I don’t know shit about the band, what a Ritchie Blackmore is, or why anyone willingly listens to an organ solo that lasts longer than a prison sentence. But festive season is upon us, and just like coal in a stocking, I’m here to ruin your holiday spirit by forcing you to say my name on air.

Postcards From The Edge . . . OF CONNECTICUT!

Core band:

Composed By – Hughes*, Iommi*
Drums – Jimmy Copley
Neil Murray – additional bass listed on Wikipedia. This is incorrect. Nate reached out to Neil and here’s what he had to say about this:
- Hi Nathan, I played on two tracks but even at the time I didn’t know the names of the songs – I just heard them for the first time in the studio – if I’d had a tape in advance they would probably be listed. In the end, Glenn Hughes redid the bass on all tracks as it was less complicated to have just one bassist.
