February 1st, 2014 at 05:11Child in time my fav deep purple song x
February 1st, 2014 at 07:04Have this on order, can’t wait till it arrives. Woohoo!
February 1st, 2014 at 08:59Great book for the Deep Purple anorak. So this fits me perfectly. Can’t put it down 🙂
February 1st, 2014 at 11:05Where can I get a copy of this ?
February 1st, 2014 at 17:11This could be an interesting read, it looks & sounds authentic & I will wait to read a few reviews before I depart with my hard earned cash! It was THE album that took me to into another realm as a youngster all those years ago, the album that changed it all for me, brilliant! Cheers.
February 1st, 2014 at 21:53sorry guys where can I order this from ?
February 2nd, 2014 at 02:56Al, Graham: follow the link, “order the book” in the article above. 🙂
February 2nd, 2014 at 08:47Have mine. Looks great especially if you’re a fan of this line-up or album.
Liked the fact that the DPAS were involved.
All fact and no filler =)
February 2nd, 2014 at 10:54Thanks 🙂
February 2nd, 2014 at 12:14It’s a wonderful to read book. Interesting, very well researched and written. With lots of interview parts and anecdotes. Sometimes hard to put out of hand.
Also, in my eyes, it contains a brilliant collection of fotos, advertisements, tour posters, etc. that really fit the chapters and the story told.
I preordered mine at the publishers website in November and received it Thursday last week.
Reading into it gave me the idea of now also ordering Colin Hart’s book, did it today! The reason is: I have a DP book written by Martin Popoff, translated into German, the translation sucks!
Reading “Wait for the Ricochet” in English is real fun! Anyhow for the “Case Of The Cases” I still have a dictionary to look up a word every now and then.
Have a nice rest-weekend, I’ll go back to the book now.

February 2nd, 2014 at 14:05Ok so for North American,Canada Us how do we do this ?
February 2nd, 2014 at 18:05I don’t understand. I see nothing on the order page that says they don’t ship to North America?
February 2nd, 2014 at 22:16wow this would be interesting reading,paiceys drumming on this album still blows me away every time i listen to it,especially on cry free,i get tingles every time.
February 3rd, 2014 at 08:56@11 Hello Lutz,
February 3rd, 2014 at 16:57I ordered mine when it was first announced back in June! Still waiting for mine. But, I am in California and judging by your name you might be in mainland Europe. Just a guess? Maybe it will arrive soon…

February 3rd, 2014 at 17:01Al, forget the publishers site and just order it from the DPAS. Just go to the (rather large) DTB Store. The book is right at the first page with other new releases. You will be asked to enter your country first. Have fun!
@15 Hi Scott,
February 5th, 2014 at 14:02yep, you’re right. I am from Hockenheim, Germany. I don’t know how they handle it with the US, but mine was sent via Royal Air Mail. Maybe they use a rowing boat to cross the big pond (LOL).
Greetings, Lutz
Child in TIME…Kick ASS..
February 5th, 2014 at 20:45Found an online retailer that sells it for right at $20.00 with free shipping. My other option was to buy it at the DPAS site for $40.00…
February 6th, 2014 at 00:17You all know the general story – mid 69: Rod & Nick left, Ian & Roger took over etc. etc.. but this book gives you the most detailed account of the period July 69 – Dec 70 ever and includes some amazing unpublished photos and other memorabilia as well (live pics from Rosengarten in Mannheim mid 1970 anyone??).
Essential purchase for any real fan and of great interest to any casual fan as well!
Get it from Simons DTB store or here:

February 11th, 2014 at 19:27Thanks Lutz! Actually received mine later in the same day as my post on Feb. 3rd. Nice to see my name in it! Been a DPAS member for 20 plus years. Most of the archive releases all originate with the DPAS. So, if you like the booklets/sleeve notes of these CD’s, then you will LOVE this book. For fans, by Fans. Speaking of DPAS members, hows it going Tonny @20?!
I live in Ohio and ordered my copy on February 2 and received it on February 12. I started reading it last night. A must-have for any DP fan! Great photos, too!
February 14th, 2014 at 02:23I am waiting for the book as well…where is it!?
Great album but Machine Head is the best.
February 19th, 2014 at 16:59I finally have it.
Read the first pages.
It is hard being confronted with my age, the letters are almost too small for me 🙁
