Reception and Charts:

• In Classic Rock UK Ian Gillan says: “I didn’t want to conceptualise the album, but I wanted some common thread. There’s no literal connection, it’s just a mood thing. They feel like they’re all coming from the same room.”

Reviews

• Classic Rock interview from June.
• Power Play Rock & Metal Magazine
• Rasmus Heide in The Highway Star
• ROCKS Magazin #101 (Translation by Raff Kaff)
  • Deep Purple =1
  • A classic
  • When Deep Purple announced the definite departure of Steve Morse, who worked for Deep Purple for nearly 3 decades- longer than any other guitarist- and who built an era with the band that had late career highlights with the release of the album trilogy Now What, Infinite and Whoosh, you could have bet that that was it for the hard rock troopers that entered the ring in 1968.
  • However, Deep Purple have always been a band that lived and played by their own rules.
  • The sympathy, that one would like to extend to him ( Morse) after the first incredulous listen is insofar no surprise. He, who kept Purple alive for so long and accomplished great things, but who, for many, played too delicately, with too little power and, after all, not dominantly enough.
  • What had happened? The gentlemen that had turned gray in dignity stand at the very front of the stage together with their new guitarist Simon Mc Bride and stick their bare behinds with delight and in unison into the faces of the notorious nay-sayers, for whom DP ceased to exist after the final exit of Ritchie Blackmore in 1993.
  • =1 is an inspired, hard and playfully fresh album whose obvious guitar sound surprises the listener and which excites with attainable songs. [An album] that pushes all of its classical characteristics through the filter of time (?). All that with a belligerent and physical presence, that even the comeback album from years ago “Perfect Strangers” lacked in some places.
  • It only takes the first one and a half songs to be sucked deeply into =1. The record begins with a percussive guitar-figure that goes on to become the first significant guitar riff of the Mark 9 incarnation throigh a very poignant tonal sequence.
  • As soon as Don Airey’s meaty organ passages set in, that McBride answers forcefully with mighty rhythm salvos, the sound and effect of “Show Me” result in some parallels to “Highway Star”- performed with the maturity of a band that has nearly 60 eventful business years to show for themselves. Anyhow, the organ and guitar point, time and again, to the legendary double Lord-Blackmore.
  • Following up, “A bit on the Side” with its trudging Bass goes much furtherand lets their ( the band’s) unbrifled greed for jams shine through, from which DP shape their songs these days. A short Synth-solo in the middle, an Organ-Drum break ( Ian Paice is THE swing machine anyway and simply the bomb!), then it continues with the remainder of the verse. And then, when everything could be well and over with, McBride comes along with a teeth-baring solo, as if there was no tomorrow- a dream of a Jam-inferno, much too short for a record, that Airey rekindles time and again with his organ passages. You just have to sit down for a bit afterwards!( like you have to catch your breath)
  • Also “Sharp Shooter” lives on a surprisingly hard guitar riff that is kept on a 70s level by Airey’s smacking organ. Shortly before and during McBride’s lead entry there are indeed a few “Space Truckin'” moments: Whoever struggled with the more mellow guitar work on the Morse-era albums will be absolutely delighted. Especially by the brooding “No Money to Burn”. “A Portable Door”, with its majestic shuffle groove, is the catchiest and by far the most classic (i.e. most MK2 -like) Purple piece in a thousand years, in which organ and guitar align first, then hiss and spit (like a cat)  at each other.
  • “Old Fangled Thing” is a playful piece, during which it seems that Alice Cooper might have shown up in the studio. There is a second Cooper moment on “Lazy Sod” that, aside from that, could have easily been created with Riff Master Ritchie Blackmore himself.
  • “If I were you”, as a focused power ballad, could pass for a sequel to “When A Blind Man Cries and possesses a touching, sentimental quality only in part due to the age in Gillan’s vocal delivery and the added strings. McBride’s power-blues solo reminds, in its singing tone and expression, of Gary Moore as well as Warren Haynes. Deep Purple saved two of their most genius numbers for last: The highly dramatic
  • “I’ll catch you” begins almost like a depressing Broadway-bar number, Ian Gillan’s story-telling in the surrounding of his band gives goose bumps that McBride intensifies with his lead interjections. And when 
  • “Bleeding Obvious concludes the album, raising a crazy Prog suite that gives a Purple nod to Kansas, Dream Theater and even briefly Iron Maiden, the craziness is complete. As fantastic as the precursors with Steve Morse may have been: maybe they were “merely” the groundwork to this unbridled album with brutally strong and memorable songs, with which the British gentlemen give Simon McBride an unshakeable place in the band’s history and take him along to the Pantheon of rock history.
  • “Machine Head” and “In rock” do not shrink by a millimeter if one states the truth: =1 is a classic!

Lead up to the Album:

• In April 7, 1975 Ritchie played his last show with Deep Purple at a show in Paris.
• In May 1975 the future of the band was uncertain. Lord and Paice weren’t entirely keen on the idea of carrying on in the band without Ritchie.
• Hughes and Coverdale, on the other hand, wanted to keep things going.
• They were all living in LA at the time so they rented a rehearsal space at the Columbia Sound Stage in Hollywood.  The sound stage had been used for Columbia studio and was the location for a lot of horror movie shoots prior to World War II.
• Robert Simon, who had been doing front of the house sound for rock bands, served as the sound engineer. Simon had been using this space as a rehearsal area for bands, letting them come to him rather than traveling and constantly being on tour.
• This new facility was called Pirate Sound Studios. Simon moved out a bunch of old props and soundproofed the area.
• While Deep Purple was one of the first to use the space it would go on to be used by Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath, and Fleetwood Mac as well as many others.
• Simon had worked with a company called Tychobrae which worked as a company doing sound for live shows, including California Jam.
• Simon had worked with Deep Purple in 1972 and 1973 and was called in by Colin Hart when the band was having sound issues in 1974.
• Deep Purple still needed a guitarist and had abandoned the idea of convincing Jeff Beck to join so they approached Clem Clempson and invited him to the studio.  After a few days they agreed there was no chemistry and that’s when Tommy Bolin was brought up. Robert Simon had worked with The James Gang and said he was a very promising player.
• Colin Hart proposed this guitarist to Coverdale who had already heard him on Billy Cobham’s “Spectrum” album and had him on his list.
• Once everything worked out and Tommy joined Simon taped the rehearsals so the band could hear the progress they were making on the songs.
• The tapes were, as many were in those days, reused.  However, some got put to the sided and wound up being put into storage in a rental garage in LA.
• Simon: “I must have dropped them down onto cassette and then forgotten all about them. On one I even taped a Wet Willie show over one side, can you believe it?” Overall two hours of the rehearsal were left.
• The tapes were not always rolling but Simon would occasionally start up the tape when something was coming together.

Album Tracks:

Notes taken from Simon Robinson’s liner notes for the CD release.

1. Owed to G (Bolin)
   • Tommy wrote most of the instrumental part to this song at Pirate Studios.  He later said: “Jon and Glenn were going to call their half ‘Gersh’ and I was going to call my half ‘Win’ but we though that’d be a little too sick!”
2. If You Love Me Woman (Bolin, Coverdale)
3. The Orange Juice Song (Coverdale, Lord)
   • Jon’s part is based on Rodrigo’s Concerto de Aranjuez (our title is how many orchestral players refer to it!) with David doing some fine seemingly improvised singing. Simon notes that it seems to be reminiscent of “Need Your Love So Bad” that would later serve as a Whitesnake B-side.
4. I Got Nothing For You (Bolin, Coverdale, Hughes, Lord)
5. Statesboro Blues (Blind Willie McTell)
   • This is a well known blues standard that Tommy likely played as a young blues player.  Simon notes that it’s not very often we get to hear Deep Purple playing material like this.
6. Dance to the Rock & Roll (Bolin, Coverdale, Hughes, Lord, Paice)
   • During the 1974 tour “Space Truckin” was reworked to give Glenn a chance to take lead and where Coverdale would join in.  This section evolved out of those jams.
7. Drifter (Rehearsal Sequence) (Bolin, Coverdale)
   • There were a couple of goes in about 15 minutes of tape on this song with Glenn and David working out harmonies.  The opening banter features “Nicky” who is roadie Nick Bell. The other voice is Tommy Bolin.
8. Driver (Version 1) (Bolin, Coverdale)
9. The Last of the Long Jams (Bolin, Coverdale, Hughes, Lord, Paice)
10. Untitled Song (impromptu version of I Got You Babe) (Sonny Bono)

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reception and Charts:

• It was from these June rehearsals that Tommy went off to start work on his solo album.
• The band then reconvened in Munich in August to record “Come Tast The Band.”
• Tommy is said to have wanted to use the guys in Deep Purple for his solo album but was unable to as they were unable to record in the US for copyright reasons.
• The studio at Pirate Sounds was divided so two bands could use it at the same time.  While Deep Purple were using it he was contacted by Ritchie Blackmore who wanted to use it to audition players for Rainbow. He told him who was using the other part of the studio by Blackmore didn’t care.  He thought Blackmore may balk at the price but he didn’t and so it was that both bands ended up showing up. Deep Purple were not very happy about this arrangement.
• Robert Simon had hoped Ritchie would take him on tour with Rainbow to do sound but it didn’t happen. Later Deep Purple would get a sort of revenge on Simon by stating on the liner notes for “Come Taste The Band” that it was “written and conceived at Musicland.”

New Patron/Patron Upgrades:

• Sarah Sanders joins us at the $5 “Money Lender” Tier
  • I started listening to Deep Purple a couple of months after discovering Rainbow from a recommendation while listening to a certain Kelly Clarkson song.
  • I started slow and didn’t really catch onto anything until watching the video of their live performance of No No No from a German broadcast the Beat Club. After watching that video I think everything fell into place and I’ve been listening ever since.
  • I discovered the show pretty early on to listening to Purple which has been a few years from now. I saw a lot of DPP posts on various social media platforms and I thought it was cool how extensive the show went into various branches of the DP family tree. Started listening only recently, but I regret not tuning in sooner, great podcast, can’t wait for future episodes!
• Joe “Dopefish” Siegler joins at the $3 “Nobody’s Perfect” Tier
  • Greetings and Felicitations. I should be somewhat known – if you do, it’s probably cuz I run the Black Sabbath site over at www.black-sabbath.com. #KeepItWarmRat Finally caved in and signed up as a Patreon member. I wanted in on those ranking episodes.

Patron Updates:

• Weston-super-Mare Pilgrim writes in:
  • Hi Nate & John, I just listened to episode 100 of the DPP on Perfect Strangers. It might have been long resolved by other listeners since, but you are discussing a melody Ritchie plays at the end of his solo in Under the gun. What I have always understood it to be, is a excerpt out of Land of hope and glory. This British anthem was also played at the beginning of Rainbow concerts in the early 80s, before the Over the Rainbow theme. Best regards, WSM Pilgrim

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reception and Charts:

• released by EMI on 25 September 2000 in the UK and by Dragonshed on 21 November in the US.
• Peaked at #5 in the UK rock and metal charts.
• In an interview with Classic Rock magazine in 2000, Coverdale stated: “The whole premise of my new record, Into The Light, is about coming out of what I felt was a dark period. […] I didn’t really know who I was, using the illusion of David Coverdale I’ve created, or that other people have. I got tired of trying to live up to that, which is not necessarily who I am.”^[3] Despite Restless Heart being released under the Whitesnake name, Coverdale considers it and Into the Light “brother and sister albums”.^[4]
• There were several songs written for these sessions that were later released on the 2020 compilation “Love Songs.” These included the tracks, Yours for the Asking, With All of My Heart, and Let’s Talk It Over.  The first track was written about his wife, while the last was written after a four-day “misunderstanding” between the two.  Coverdale hoped to record Let’s Talk It Over with Tina Turner.
• The song Flesh & Blood was also written for this album but did not see release until the album by the same name was released in 2019.
• A supporting tour for the album never happened.  Coveredale said the cost of touring as an individual solo artist was too high.
• Coverdale started working on a follow up solo album but stopped in 2002 and re-formed Whitesnake.

  • Into the Light Review by Alex Henderson
  • In 2000, David Coverdale was officially a full-time solo artist, but it wasn’t like the former Whitesnake and Deep Purple vocalist had never recorded an album by himself — his first solo project, Northwinds, came out in the late ’70s. Although not groundbreaking, 2000’s Into the Light is a decent solo effort that should please those who admire his ’70s and ’80s output. In fact, this isn’t a radical departure from the British singer’s work with Whitesnake and Deep Purple. Instead of attempting to be relevant to the alternate rock scene of 2000, Coverdale sticks with the type of commercial hard rock, arena rock, and power ballads that he is best known for. And even though the songs (all of which he wrote or co-wrote) aren’t quite in a class with his best Purple and Whitesnake offerings, they are enjoyable; Coverdale’s die-hard fans will find that he is as confident and assured on bluesy rockers like “Cry for Love” and “River Song” as he is on the power ballad “Don’t You Cry.” Into the Light often sounds like it could have been recorded in the 1970s or 1980s instead of 2000, which is just as well — Coverdale aficionados won’t find innovation on this CD, but they will find that the singer is still quite capable of holding their attention.

  •  INTO THE LIGHT David Coverdale (dragonshead) Mister Whitesnake is back, kicking butt and taking names.
  • Had a bugger of a time getting this; special-ordered this U.S. import and waited forever a small price to bask in its greatness. Coverdale sings instead of the hysterical screaming he’s known for, the songs are more believable than the hair band tripe he peddled for much of the ’80s. “Into The Light” is a refinement of what he does so well. He’s always been a great voice but now treats his gifts and craft with respect.
  • “Light” sticks close to the blues-based rock that is his forte and the quiet stuff feels on the mark, not mawkish radio swill. He throttles back and still delivers but if it’s top speed highway screamers you need, David doesn’t disappoint. Kudos too to an excellent backing band that features Denny Carmassi (ex-Heart, on drums, bassist Marco Mendoza (currently with Ted Nugent) and guitarist Earl Slick. This is an excellent album, one of the year’s best your only chance to likely catch an earful is to place your order and wait patiently, for several months if need be, as I did. KEY CUTS: Cry For Love, River Song, Don’t Lie To Me.

Lead up to the Album:

• In late 1999 and early 2000 there had been rumors that David Coverdale was being considered to replace Gary Cherone in Van Halen. David Coverdale said it was possible as he had been approached to replace initially when Sammy Hagar left.
• Rumors also began circulating that Coverdale was working on a solo project.  These turned out to be true.
• Coverdale mentioned that the name of the album was literal in that he felt he was coming out of a dark period and trying to rediscover who he was.
• Coverdale rented a house near to his own which they used for writing and rehearsing the songs on the album. He said this was one of the most prolific writing periods in his life.
• They submitted over twenty songs for the album and ended up letting the producers choose the songs that would go on the album.
• They spent three months at a studio in L.A. and three more at Coverdale’s home studio in Lake Tahoe.  According to Coverdale he had missed out on so much of his daughter growing up that he wanted to stay close to his wife and son so that he didn’t miss as much this time around.
• This is the first album that Coverdale recorded completely digitally using Pro Tools. He had long railed against digital recording because it lacked the “warmth” of analog but after being exposed to this way of recording he considered himself a “digital convert.”  He is quoted as saying that there is “really no difference” between the sound of digital and analog recording.
• In interviews Coverdale said that he felt this music was “more honest” and that he didn’t have to suit his songwriting to a particular band. He was able to use whatever musicians he want that would best suit the tracks at hand.

• Jellybean
• Hi Nate, thanks for the message. I’ll go by “Jellybean”, my nickname when I discovered the band.
• That would have been 1971, when I was 11. Was visiting the kids next door, a couple years older than me, they were playing this wild music – Purples eponymous third album. Hooked! That organ – you didn’t hear that sort of thing on the single radio station in our small rural town. I was learning organ at the time and wondered why I couldn’t make such sounds!  
• They dubbed me a copy and ai played it so much I wrecked it. So went and bought a real copy. Saw a bunch of other Purple cassettes there and a few weeks later went and got their new release “Burn”. So good. Still my favourite Purple album. 
• I remember telling another neighbour “Deep Purple are releasing a new album today – Stormbringer”. Off I go to the music shop again. I didn’t have a lot of cash, so I bought very few cassettes in those days. It would have taken months to save up for one.
• Sometime after that, I was listening to music with my cousin, he says what do you think of this song… wow, oh wow. Didn’t know the song but at all but knew it was Ritchie playing. Was told it was something called Black Night. So I went from Mark I to Mark Iii &IV and not heard Mark II at all. Back to the music store, pick up a cassette called “24 carat purple”. A Mark II compilation. Floored all over again. 
• Eventually I get a bit of a job and a record player, start buying the back catalog on vinyl, the older stuff. Went in reverse order – Who Do You Think We Are, then Machine, Fireball, In Rock, thinking these guys are getting better!
• Favourite band then and still now over 40 years later. And Burn is still the best. 
• I got to see the band only once, their 1984 comeback tour. Dec 4th in Melbourne. So loud, so amazing. 
• Then I lost track of the band, moving around the country for work and life stuff. Thanks to the podcast which I’ve been listening to this year, I’ve listened and learned about the extended family. Thanks heaps to you Nate and John for the shop. Glad to be a supporter. 
• Cheers, Jellybean.

The Cicadas Are Here!

• https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/05/17/2024-cicada-emergence-chicago-illinois/
• They’re loud, but they’re harmless. And some people even like to eat them.
• Cicadas are beginning to emerge from the ground around Chicagoland and Illinois. Two broods will converge on the state in a historic emergence. They belong to Brood XIX, four species that appear every 13 years in the Southeast, and Brood XIII, three species that appear every 17 years in northern Illinois.
• It will be the first time in 221 years that these two specific broods come above ground at the same time and in such proximity. The last time this happened was in 1803 when Thomas Jefferson was president, and Illinois had yet to become a state.

Reception and Charts:

• https://www.glennhughes.com/discography.html
  • “Recorded in Tokyo in the Summer Of 1994. A brilliant concert, my band played incredibly, the audience was fantastic. I felt my Creator present while singing Still In Love With You on this live recording. It was one of those nights that was like a dream. The crowd gave me tremendous energy. My fans are my songs, they are my lifeblood. Turn this one up really loud!”
• Message from Glenn Hughes:
• Here’s the most relevant part of the latest message from Glenn, from 21. December 1994:
• To all Deep Purple Fans
• I would like to thank all of you, who purchased the Mark III and Mark IV albums which I performed on.
• I am currently writing and in production for my next studio album to be released in the early summer of 95. My live album (currently on import) Burning in Japan [sic] will be out in the New Year. Six Purple songs are performed here to great satisfactory performances.
• You must remember that Purple asked me to join to add a new dimension to the sound, which I did. I have the greatest respect for Ian and Roger. But David and myself are different writers, performers and singers. I wish all the Purple family the very best, and to you all Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reviews

• Nick Simper’s Fandango: Future Times Shark / lnterford 148.506: Germany: 1980. My German is not very good (well, non-existant really), but there does seem to be second album out by Simper’s current band. As the first LP (‘Slipstreaming’, reviewed some time ago) was poorly received, we thought the band had just fizzled out, but it looks as if they might have gone to ground in Europe to earn a living. I expect some import copies will surface here for those of you dedicated or curious enough to want it. It’s unlikely that Gull records will want to issue it here. There are nine titles listed:1/ Pull Out & Start Again, I’ll Never Get Over-You, Get Down Lay Down, She Was My Friend. 2/ Future Times, Undercover Man, Something’s Burning, Hard Drink & Easy Women. Jeez, the titles alone are enough to put me off it!
