John McCoy Answers Questions About Live in Edinburgh 1980

  • During our last episode I reached out to John to ask why he had a single sneaker tied to him during the concert. He responded back to explain what happened:
  • John McCoy says: 
    • Good afternoon, well! That’s a long time and a lot of gigs ago…..but I do remember coming off stage somewhere missing a shoe…..went back for encores and there was a girl in the crush at the front waving my shoe! She’d obviously untied it while I was standing at the front   during last song.I tied the other one on my flight suit for the next few shows  in case she turned up with her weird souvenir. Bet it was smelly.
    • Cheers for now,John

Album Art & Booklet Review

  • The title was Ian Gillan’s idea. He says in Classic Rock UK: “I found myself online, trying to fill in some blurry matrix of traffic lights or motorcycles, trying to prove to a robot that I’m a human.  I thought: ‘This has got to stop.’ We live in a society of compliance. You have to comply if you want to get anything done. You have to jump through hoops. It drives me nuts.” He says he started drawing in his notebook and: “I wrote this ridiculous equation, with the answer ‘=1.’ All that crap on the left hand side, that’s what you want to get rid of. That’s the whole point.”
  • Roger Glover says, “=1 is such a strong symbol. I think of it now as being the history of the band. We’ve been through multiplications, divisions, extractions, brackets, algebra . . . all that, and yet we’re still one band.”

Album Tracks:

  1. Show Me
  2. A Bit On The Side
  3. Sharp Shooter
  4. Portable Door
  5. Old-Fangled Thing
    • Gillan says in Classic Rock UK that this song was inspired by the history of the pencil. Gillan: “For 2000 years, people were wandering around scratching their heads as to why their erasers had such long handles. Until they discovered the graphite inside it and civilisation was born.”
  6. If I Were You
  7. Pictures Of You
  8. I’m Saying Nothin’
  9. Lazy Sod
    • “Recently, a young journalist asked me how many songs I had written in my life. I replied that the last time my assistant counted, twenty years ago, it was over 500. I felt quite accomplished until she pointed out Dolly Parton’s 5,000 songs, calling me a lazy sod. I couldn’t help but agree and wrote down the exchange in my notebook.” Ian Gillan in a recent interview (ROCKS magazine, June 2024)
  10. Now You’re Talkin’
  11. No Money To Burn
  12. I’ll Catch You
  13. Bleeding Obvious

      • Who is Alerik?
      • We haven’t found out. Roger said it was Blackmore’s song name, so that he didn’t know; he seemed to remember a king Alerik from English history, but was uncertain. Another possible source is the Michael Moorcook-books, as I seem to have read a suggestion about Elric (the one with the sword named Stormbringer, y’know)’s father being called Alerik, i.e. the Son of Alerik is Elric himself. But this is highly unverified.

    • Movie trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqPs5AaOA9g
    • Roger Glover:
      • ‘Fire Ice and Dynamite was a movie project that was offered to us. Jon and Ian Paice were not in the States at the time and weren’t interested. Ritchie wanted to do it so we used a riff idea of his that the band didn’t want, Joe wrote some words and I constructed it in the studio, playing keyboards and drum machine. It was at a bad time in the band’s history and we were probably at our most dysfunctional. I haven’t heard it in decades but I don’t think it is any good.'”
      • Jon Lord was on tour in Europe with “Rock’n’Blues Olympic Circus” with Chris Farlowe, Roger Chapman, Tony Ashton, Pete York.

Apple Podcasts Reviews:

  • Frozen Bruise – USA – 5 Stars!
  • Love this Podcast!
  • Back in 1974 when I was 13 years old I was at a friend’s house shooting pool when he played the album Burn. I was hooked, and they became my favorite band. So I have been a fan for 48 years. My wife has told me she’s going to play Smoke on the Water at my funeral. I really enjoy the fact that Nathan and John are musicians and are able to explain things like how something is being played, how it is recorded, or how difficult it is to play a particular song or part, etc. For so many years I felt like I was the only person who liked Deep Purple. back in the stone age when I was in high school, I had friends who wanted to ride around in my car with me. They knew that there was price to pay if they did—they had to listen to Deep Purple! So glad that this podcast exists. I really enjoy listening to Nathan and John, they sound like two guys that I could really enjoy hanging out with. Great job, great conversation, lots of humor, all while listening to Deep Purple—5 stars!!!

    • Think you know all about Deep Purple? Think again!
    • These guys (host, Nate Beaudry and “sidekick/wing-man” John Mottola) come at the catalogue, history and appreciation of Deep Purple from a very different place than I do. Being Americans, a decade or so younger than me, and predominantly Coverdale/Mk.3/Mk.4 fans, this 50-something Brit, most fond of all the Gillan eras, does find himself raising an eyebrow at their outlook on a regular basis. But for every opinion I disagree with (nothing wrong with that!), or incorrect fact (few and far between really – and the guys don’t profess to be experts, just passionate fans) there are 4,5, or 6, nuggets of information that I wasn’t aware of, plenty of nods of shared appreciation for Deep Purple’s brilliance, and tons of minutiae around the product, people, and places related to the wider DP family output. They’re like a couple of buddies I’ve never met (Perfect Strangers, if you will) that I thoroughly enjoy spending time with, shooting the breeze over our mutual passion.

    • This podcast is truly amazing. Since I have been a Deep Purple fan since 1978 I thought there could be little more to learn about the band and the extended Deep Purple family. Yet these guys have proved me wrong. The great stories and details they come up with every show are just crazy. It is wonderful to be part of a world spanning group of Purple nerds that understand your peculiar affection and even share it. Thank you so much guys!

Show Updates:

Lead up to the Album:

  • Mike Hurst says he’d always loved the song “Wild Thing” but he didn’t think the Troggs’ version was sexy.  He thought Jimi Hendrix did a great version and wanted to do it in yet a different way.
  • Would the song be sexier if sung by a woman?
  • He says he didn’t want it to be sung he wanted it to be “massaged.”
  • Mike called up Ray Fenwick to work on the arrangement, then they needed to find a singer.
  • Mike doesn’t remember who suggested the name of Helen Caunt.  She’d previously worked for Rod Stewart but was better known for being a Penthouse Pet.
  • Ray brought in Mo Foster and they got to work on the song with Henry Spinetti on drums and Mike Hurst and Ray Fenwick on backing vocals.
  • Hurst wanted it to be slow and funky with “splashes of sex.”
  • Eventually he told Caunt to breathe all the way through it.
  • Alan Hawkshaw was brought in to play keyboards and finish up the track.
  • They recorded “Fancy” as an instrumental B-side for the single.
  • They had a single and now needed to sell it.  With a Penthouse Pet as a singer it didn’t seem to be too difficult as they put her on the cover partially nude during a photo shoot.
  • The single was put out in April of 1973.  It didn’t do much in the UK but it was released in the US where it made it to number 7 in the charts.
  • Mike Hurst says: “By this time, and with the success int he USA, Helen had got herself a new manager, her boyfriend.  That was two strikes against her, she had to go.”
  • They auditioned a bunch of different singers and felt like they weren’t going to come up with a suitable replacement until they came across Annie Kavanagh.  She had previously worked with Steely Dan and been in the Australian stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
