    Good news for us Purple fans!
    
    Now, has anyone heard a release date for 'Made in Japan'?
    That's the one I want!

    I saw two "Purple" imports at  Manchester Compact Disc in Manchester
    
    N.H.. Both are greatest hits compilations and are about $18. I can't
    
    recall the titles of the two but both contained excellent material.
    
    $18 is kind of steep for a single disc but that's the premium you
    
    pay for an import I guess. By the way neither was the common greatest
    
    hits "Deepest Purple" that is relatively easy to find.
    
                                            Keep on "Spacetruckin'"

        There are 3 greatest hits compilations available on CD. 1)Deepest
    Purple 2)24 Carat Purple 3)The best of Deep Purple(?). They basically
    have the same songs except 24 Carat which has 2 songs from Live
    Made In Japan and also Black Night Live. I have Deepest Purple and
    the sound quality is great. Also available are Machine Head, Burn
    and In Rock domestically and imports of Fireball and Who Do We think
    we are?. If anybody ever comes across Made In Japan or Stormbringer
    please let me know.
    
          I have heard the 3 early Deep Purple discs. Deep Purple, A
    Book of Taliesyn and Shades of Deep Purple. They were not Dig Mastered
    from their master tapes. They sound like they were taken from albums.
    The sound quality is not that great. A Book of Taliesyn is the worst
    of the three with excess midrange. But they are inexpensive. Tower
    and Newbury Comics have them for $10.99. Rockit Records in NH for
    9.99. But I don't recommend Rockit because I have had bad experiences
    with the people their before.

    I'm looking for an album/cd/tape (preferably cd) called 
    "Greatest Purple". A friend of mine had it at one point and i taped
    some of it (IT WAS TOO LONG FOR A 90 MIN CASSET!!). 
    
    It was a double album and had *ALL* of their greatest hits. The
    problem is that my car stereo ate my tape and I no longer Know 
    where my friend is and i can't find it anywhere in any form.
    
    If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated(sp)
    
    
    			thanx in advance

    Anyone seen "Come taste the Band" on CD?

        I just bought _Nobody's Perfect_ - brand new live Deep
        Purple album.  It's a tad over 74 minutes and includes
        
        	Highway Star
        	Strange Kind Of Woman
        	Perfect Strangers
        	Hard Lovin' Woman
        	Knocking At Your Back Door
        	Child In Time
        	Lazy
        	Black Night
        	Woman From Tokyo
        	Smoke On The Water
        	Hush
        
        All the songs were recorded in Spring and Summer 1987 (the
        enclosed booklet lists dates and places), except "Hush",
        which says "Live Jam recorded at Hook End Manor on 26 February
        1988".
        
        I haven't had a chance to listen to all of it, and haven't
        had it nearly loud enough either, but so far, I'm pleased.
        It happened to be on sale at Lechmere - $10.99 for 74 minutes
        of some of the greatest songs ever recorded is not bad!

        A snippet from the _Rolling Stone_ - Warner Brothers is
        going to "push the limit" on CD length to release, on one
        CD, the two-record Deep Purple album _Made In Japan_ this
        month!  I can't wait!

YEAH! This is gonna be great!!!!!

    And what does "push the limit" entail? How long is the double
    album. The record so far for CD length is Mission of Burma's
    CD at 80 minutes and some-odd seconds. Is Warner's going to
    push this limit, or just the mundane limit of 74-and-a-tad
    minutes? There's already at least two CD's in addition to the
    MoB that have exceeded that.

    I think,having read the Rolling Stone article, what was implied
    was that they were going to push "their" previous limit, not the
    industry standard. 

    re:.10
    
    That figures. On the other hand, Warner's has already approached
    the industry "standard". I'd have to check the exact time, but
    I believe that Little Feat's WAITING FOR COLUMBUS is well over
    70 minutes.
    
    --- jerry

        Anyone actually seen _Made In Japan_ yet?  It's approaching
        two months "late".
        
        By the way, the two-disc album runs a tad over 76 minutes.
        

    
     I have seen it in the bins now for about three weeks now at
    Sound Warehouse here in the Springs. Can't comment about any-
    where else, I think it was about 17.00.

    RE .12
    
    	_Made in Japan_ is available at Noteworthy for $11.94

        I found a single copy of _Made In Japan_ at the (a?)
        Strawberry's in Salem, NH - $14.99.  It sounds terrific
        - much better than I'd hoped.  Still haven't been able
        to play it at 11, though.
        
        re .14 - I tried to order it from Noteworthy's soon after
        it was first listed as "released".  They didn't have it.
        

I checked Strawberries, Recordtown, Lechmere, and even Tower Records,
and none of them have 'Made in Japan'! I finally did find a copy at
Rockit Reocrds for $15.99, which I immediately bought. It was their
only copy.

Anyone now why there is such a shortage of this disk? Is it selling that
fast, or did the underestimate the demand, or what?
