Vinyl and more vinyl
Yet another bout of vinyl reissues: Rhino is releasing Who Do We Think We Are (1LP), Burn (1LP), Come Taste The Band (1LP), and Made in Japan (2LP) as a part of their “Rocktober” event. Who Do We Think We Are and Burn are coming on October 11th, with Come Taste The Band and Made in Japan following a week later. All albums are pressed on purple vinyl.
Thanks to Jim Collins and BraveWords for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Fuck me sideways… the amount of milketing of fans is just depressing. At least add some bonus tracks, new/rare pics or something to justify another daylight robbery of the back catalogue.
October 2nd, 2019 at 18:43It is that time of year again folks. It is poor old Santa I feel sorry for. Dragging all these re releases, best of greatest hits etc out every year for xmas, not to mention trying to descend the chimneys in everyone’s homes. Then he has to drag them all the way back up again because most people are not interested, again. Merry Xmas Santa & yes that is a hint not to bother dropping into my abode, again. Unless you have something really exciting that I have never heard before. Cheers.
October 3rd, 2019 at 11:27When are the 8 tracks due 😴
October 3rd, 2019 at 12:04@1……They can keep releasing what ever they want, and you don’t have to buy…….just relax a little!
October 3rd, 2019 at 13:58Martin Ashberry Well nobody’s forced to buy them, so daylight robbery it is not…
October 3rd, 2019 at 15:39I now and then have this craze in which I want it all and tend my order myself silly.
Fortunately I m relatively measured after all these years
I behave as the fan who knows he had to drag himself out of a financial black hole and that it took him years.
Although I have this craving for certain remasters and purple vinyl, I have restrained myself again.
I did pre order a Blackmore photobook and 1 CD of Last Cracks “The Uprising”.
I also bought myself a ticket for LAST IN LINE.
Btw, I still have from both Bananas and Now What a copy to sell.
October 3rd, 2019 at 19:58I use my originals !
October 4th, 2019 at 10:35UMG released these albums about a year ago. I have no complain about these Purple reissues by Rhino, I’m sure I’ll try to buy some, but what about “Abandon” and “Bananas”?!
“Abandon” and “Bananas”, please!
October 6th, 2019 at 12:30Hi, why does nobody miss the studio album Abandon on vinyl as much as I do? And why isn’t it finally released on vinyl, because there was only a tiny, quickly sold-out edition in 1998. Deep Purple albums are constantly being reissued, but the missing Abandon never? Best wishes Gerd
October 1st, 2024 at 14:32“Hi, why does nobody miss the studio album Abandon on vinyl as much as I do?”
Mainly because I prefer my music with strong subsonic bass frequencies and when sitting on my porch listening to it find physical media more trustworthy that doesn’t melt in the sun! Does that answer the question? 😉
But for listening to music in the dark at cool temperatures quietly so that most of the bass is not heard anyway, vinyl is really unbeatable.
