Limited 20th Anniversary sky blue 3LP edition of Rapture of the Deep (2005).

 

New liner notes by Classic Rock’s Geoff Barton pull back the curtain on a time when Deep Purple were without a label, without a safety net - navigating an uncertain era of the music industry that saw the downfall of many once-great artist careers - and unravel the chemistry that gave birth to Deep Purple’s underrated 18th studio album.

 

Remixed under the supervision of Roger Glover - analogue mastered at renown Chameleon Studios in Hamburg - and presented with bold new artwork, Rapture of the Deep finally shines with clarity and colour.
