Yet another remaster
According to the Uncut magazine, Rhino will be re-releasing purple vinyl editions of In Rock and Fireball on November 23. Both albums are said to have been newly remastered by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham from the original analogue tapes, and have been cut at half-speed by Barry Grint at Alchemy Mastering.
Thanks to Uncut and BraveWords for the info.
The song title ” Blood From A Stone” springs to mind !

Let’s hope we get something decent to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Those Universal “purple vinyl” releases were bright red with photo-copied sleeves : )

October 6th, 2018 at 18:32You’re still struck in old school thinking. When labels celebrate something, you get a record, they get your money. Please don’t whine about it.
October 6th, 2018 at 19:07Well, I’m am old school man and of course buy pretty much everything by DP and related.
October 6th, 2018 at 19:42I must have them to go with the original copies I have…. Excellent…….❤️👍
October 6th, 2018 at 20:03Met dit album koos Deep purple devinitief voor de hardrock … Iedere rechtgeaarde rock liefhebber moet dit rockalbum in zijn muziek voorraad hebben …
October 7th, 2018 at 09:46Have all 25th stuff, i’ll pass on this….but could be interesting!
October 9th, 2018 at 14:57They should leave the albums as they are, for crying out loud. Leave them as they are, that’s how they got famous, how they stood the test of time, how they became iconic and legendary. Just.because.they.way.they.are.
October 11th, 2018 at 04:51But, as mentioned before, they do that not because of any “additional value” or anything. The only reason is to have something to cash in again and the common “old-school” (and often naive) fan sure as hell buys just anything that is held before his nose. They know this, of course …
Hi Hans Van Sunder (#7) : Het is waar, maar met een goede editie is genoeg. De editie van de 25 jaar waarvan ik denk dat de beste q tot nu toe is uitgekomen (dat komt met de handtekeningen van de leden in het pakket)

@: Sal, I totally agree! Had the album on Vinyl and on the first CD release. When I bought the anniversary edition I expected nothing new, but wow… what a difference!
Keep on rockin’ and have a nice Day!
