Vinyl and more vinyl
Rhino Entertainment in the US will be re-releasing a number of their back catalogue items on vinyl as part of their Rocktober event. The following items could be of particular interest for our pages.
Available October 4
- Deep Purple — Machine Head
1-LP on Black vinyl - IOMMI — The 1996 Dep Sessions
1-LP on Translucent Black Ice vinyl - Whitesnake — Northwinds
1-LP on Black Ice vinyl - Whitesnake — White Snake
1-LP on Translucent Tan vinyl
These releases are said to be available exclusively at select brick-and-mortar retail stores while supplies last. However, The Dep Sessions pre-orders are also available through the Black Sabbath online store.
There is no word on what mix/master Machine Head release is sourced from. Coverdale’s solo albums are apparently being filed under the Whitesnake moniker for reasons. They will be available on CD later in October as a part of the box set.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
We need Abandon on Vinyl!!!! Maybe just me 😂
September 25th, 2024 at 19:35I saw Abandon on vinyl this summer in one country store. Costed some 80 euros.
September 25th, 2024 at 19:58One of my favorite albums. Too uderrated
Will there be a vinyl release of Come Hell or High Water ???
September 25th, 2024 at 20:03Abandon (or A Band On) and Bananas.
PLEEEEASE!!!!!!!
lol.
September 25th, 2024 at 21:28Just finished listening to it twice. First half is pretty much perfect. Saw them twice on this tour (as I did on the ‘Purpendicular’ tour) and managed to get back stage and took a couple of pics of my heroes (after smuggling in my camera down the front of my jeans – figured security weren’t about to check there!).
September 26th, 2024 at 11:47Do we really need another “Machine Head” reissue?
Instead reissue/release “Bananas” and “Abandon” on vinyl instead on the coming Record Store Day.
September 26th, 2024 at 14:10“Do we really need another “Machine Head” reissue?”
Well, vinyl doesn’t really last! 😁
September 26th, 2024 at 18:19So there’s this new release by DC’s Whitesnake:

However, I dedicate this very special version to our good friend Uwe:

September 27th, 2024 at 00:55Thanks John, much appreciated. The new string arrangement is beautiful and it’s my favorite DC composition.
The vid is a bit unsettling though. A vintage DC singing with what is obviously a young man’s voice, it feels and looks weird. I think the visual impact would have been more coherent if they had either presented an AI/graphic novel version of DC as a young man singing it or if he had done a new take with his now voice, different key, gravelly, notes breaking off and all. But maybe, at this point and lamentably so, his voice/health doesn’t even allow him to do that anymore.
Anyway, great song. Geddy Lee should have left it well alone in that second version though. 😎
September 27th, 2024 at 09:46Yes, you are all right! We need Abandon and Come Hell Or High Water on vinyl.
October 1st, 2024 at 01:04The ones that are out there now are cheap bootleg copies, unofficial.
We want the real thing.
Especially Abandon.
It is an absolutely wonderful album.
Gad!
The Rocktober release is the 2024 mix. So no need to buy the box set if you only wanted the vinyl
October 3rd, 2024 at 19:56Also, I would suspect that Rhino will release the Quad version in their series of Quadio releases
October 3rd, 2024 at 23:53I would like to see a Deep Purple MK3 ‘In The Studio’ release. The original mixes from Burn & Stormbringer’, original A’s & B’s edits,Quad/5.1 mixes and remixes too.Include the illusive ‘Lay Down Stay Down’ film. I saw a rough cut of the film at a ‘An audience with Glenn Hughes’ in Cannock, a few years back. An audio of the soul classic ‘Some Kind Of Wonderful’ was played which was presumably cut by Hughes,Paice and Lord?
October 13th, 2024 at 17:53@13 Simon, any more info on your post any links you can share?
October 13th, 2024 at 19:35@ 13/14 Never heard of it – but sure’d love to see it!
