Did you get first dips on new The Surprising video?
If you cannot view Deep Purple’s new video for The Surprising, you probably don’t live in the United States, Germany, France, Italy or Switzerland.
These countries have been given first dips on the video together with prominent media coverage earlier today, October 4.
In Germany, Stern were able to show The Surprising video exclusively to their readers, while in France, Italy, the United States and Switzerland other media did the same.
Ultimate Classic Rock, USA
Le Matin, Switzerland
Le Parisien, France
Virgin Radio, Italy
On October 5, the new video will be made available for everybody to watch in every territory.
This is all part of Deep Purple’s record label earMUSIC’s concerted effort at garnering as much attention as possible for three new releases: the 2CD Gold Edition of the InFinite album, the stand alone Blu-ray edition of the From Here to InFinite documentary and the 3LP vinyl The inFinite Live Recordings, Pt. 1. Read more details.
This time earMUSIC has created an animated cartoon video showing Deep Purple looking forward while honouring their past. In the video, the band’s studio albums are all represented, and you’re challenged to spot them all as the video plays. But is one album missing? See for yourself when the video is released in your country.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Saw the video snd enjoyed how each album and incarnation was represented … Fantastic 🎭
October 5th, 2017 at 01:06I didn’t see perpendicular or any of the Mark one albums or the concerto
October 5th, 2017 at 02:59Where’s Wally/Waldo… gold edition!.
October 5th, 2017 at 04:17Deep Purple… infiniment bon pour faire passer un message !

October 5th, 2017 at 08:37They are there. I am not going to spoil your fun so try again.
I saw a shipping container of Mandrake Root and The Book Of Taliesyn. I also saw the Purpendicular logo, just prior to the Abandon reference.
October 5th, 2017 at 08:41I saw Shades, Book Of Taliesyn…. didnt notice Deep Purple. In Rock reworked to In Ice (as in Infinite :)) shape, Fireball was obvious, Smoke On The Water instead of Machine Head? Made In Japan is well-hidden! Who Do We Think We Are was very cleverly done. Burn / Stormbringer, breaking glass with Come Taste The Band…. Perfect Strangers & The Battle Rages On, House Of Blue Light…. then Roger and Paicey goes through HOBL door to magician with Slaves&Masters ball…. and then Morse albums were pretty obvious! 🙂 Cant see how anyone could miss them. 🙂
October 5th, 2017 at 09:16a very very very nice voyage through the album history of the band …
A MUST SEE for every DEEP PURPLE Friend and DEEP PURPLE Fan …
But — I miss my guitar idol Ritchie and the legend Jon Lord

October 5th, 2017 at 12:06Why Stormbringer? Wrong band!
October 5th, 2017 at 12:33infiniment <3
October 5th, 2017 at 15:32A rather unusual and almost prog song.Excellent and Gillan seems very comfortable with it
October 5th, 2017 at 15:55Just listened to the whole album from start to finish skipping The Doors cover song and I am so in love with it. I had my negative thoughts about the album in terms of lyrics and mixing but it’s becoming to be a true classic. It’s very intense, short and sweet.
October 5th, 2017 at 17:42I believe in miracles and I believe they will produce one more album.
@ 9 – Hey David, didn’t you get it?! It’s not only Stormbringer. All 20 studio albums are there, you just have to find them.
October 5th, 2017 at 19:03Beautiful valedictory gesture and very generous to all past members, showing respect for all iterations of the band.
October 5th, 2017 at 20:21Phenominal.
October 5th, 2017 at 21:11Love the video,class move to salute all the albums but I guess I missed the 3rd LP “Deep Purple “.Anybody see the clue for that album?
October 5th, 2017 at 21:40@5 OK thank you I’ll watch it again. I must say I went through it pretty fast. Still my favorite track from the new album “the surprising”!
October 5th, 2017 at 23:39One of the best songs of that album that is not to my complete satisfaction. With the exception of “Time For Bedlam”, this song “The Surprising” and “Bird of prey” this is an album very easy to forget. I was very pleased to see memories of albums from other periods of Deep Purple including MKIII and MKIV. Great detail for example having seen the glass of “Come taste the band”. That was very nice. I liked the video. A simple but effective diagramming.
October 6th, 2017 at 01:04I still cant see “shades of DP”. everything else except DP 3rd album are there.
October 6th, 2017 at 03:47@ 19: In the beginning, when they are standing there, do you see their faces? Well, then it’s Shades of DP.
October 6th, 2017 at 08:04Nice catch Tommy H. I totally missed it!
October 6th, 2017 at 10:51@7 – Peter – where did you see Made in Japan?
October 6th, 2017 at 12:13@ 19 OZ, @ 20 Tommy H.
“Shades of Deep Purple”: at 0:40 – wooden box marked with “Caution: Mandrake Root”
3rd album “Deep Purple”: at 1:02 – ship is following it’s own shadow, the sun light is coming from the front: “Chasing Shadows”
October 6th, 2017 at 12:21@ 19 Mandrake Root.
October 6th, 2017 at 16:20Finally spotted “Made in Japan” about 1:30.
October 6th, 2017 at 17:33I note there is a second shot of the head stock of Roger’s bass strapped to the crate – at 1:10 even though he was playing it earlier: is this a Machine Head reference?
Cannot find any other live albums – but will keep looking.
I think there´s a MIJ reference at 2:45 in the window on the left side. Could be a reflection of Jon.
October 7th, 2017 at 07:39For those who didn’t find the MIJ reference … it is really well ridden … try looking through a bezel !!
October 8th, 2017 at 04:37@ 23 Very good spotted!!
October 8th, 2017 at 08:29@27 – hi Fernando – I need glasses, I guess – Point – where do I look?
October 12th, 2017 at 15:02Maybe a stronger optical instrument than just glasses.
October 12th, 2017 at 17:13It is exactly where you would expect it to be.
@ 29 Gary
Take a look at minute 1:33, Don Airey’s binoculars, the frame of the lens is marked with: “Made in Japan”.
October 12th, 2017 at 17:20Re: Shades of Deep Purple, Ian G puts on his shades that have purple glass, and before that the sky clouds are shades of purple. I think it’s a superb video, although the Stormbringer horse seems a bit clunky as it lasts longer than the rest of the references. Didn’t see a clue for the next album cover though….😉
October 12th, 2017 at 20:14@31 Lutz
Thanks for for this answer!
I wonder if there isn’t anything more direct to the third album than chasing the shadow …
October 14th, 2017 at 04:59@33 Mathias
The only other reference I see (maybe the better one) is at minute 0:55, Ian Paice is playing on 3 red ballards (in german: Poller). The self titled 3rd Album is also known as or called “The Third”.
October 14th, 2017 at 18:21This is the only sequence in the video without a drum kit, and it is in chronological order after “Shades” and “Taliesyn”.
@31 Lutz – Thank you for that!!…amazing!!…and thank you @30 Marcus for that very subtle hint!! i can`t believe I missed it – it was so visible!
October 16th, 2017 at 12:21Four years after this original post, I figured out the theme of the album artwork and clothing. It’s about Shackleton’s Imperial Antarctica Expedition. The ship cutting through the ice flows. The circa 1914 clothing. It’s brilliant. Read or listen to

Got a feeling this was a Gillan thing.
