Gillan singles box set
Caramba reports that eleven Gillan singles will be reissued on Demon / Edsel. This follows the earlier reissue of his solo albums on the same label.
The singles will be issued in CD-sized replicas of their original sleeves. The box will also include bonus DVD with seven promo videos. Ian himself contributed to the liner notes.
Update (Sep 24): Release date is October 22, 2007 (may vary in different regions).
Full details on www.gillan.com.
Thanks to Steve Campbell of Caramba! for the info and to Helge Mayschak for release date.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I neeeeeeeeeeed this!!!! when’s it out????
September 20th, 2007 at 21:54FINALLY! The single version of No Laughing In Heaven is available on CD. The promo videos are typical of the period, but it will be nice to have them on DVD. All I have are multi-generation copies, so this will be nice.

September 21st, 2007 at 12:33It would be fine if the paper sleeves would have the original gimmick and booklet covers as the original UK-pressings.
The songs are already on the remastered CD’s. But the Promo-DVD will be fine.

September 21st, 2007 at 16:15This is a MUST!
September 21st, 2007 at 17:09I can only join and ask for more DVDs from the Gillan days, and please Ian – a solo tour through Europe VERY soon. With all great ones we never hear with Purple.
I have all of those singles but this box will be great, only thing I wonder is, why only 7 of them?
September 21st, 2007 at 17:31Gillan were a great hard rocking band, all their albums still sound so good & modern. Future Shock was the best & with the booming bass from John McCoy what a hard rock band . If only Deep Purple can sound a bit harder like them these days on cd.

September 22nd, 2007 at 07:13Gillan Rocks!!!
September 22nd, 2007 at 11:49For me Glory Road and Future Shock stand out as classics!
However I also think that Demon Driver from Magic is an underrated classic!
A gillan box set of the singles??? How long did it take a company full of suit and ties to figure out that this might be a good idea??? I still put on the 7″ singles… great sleaves plus great B-sides….Im in
