Listen, Learn, Read On is EMI's spanking new 6CD box set, which includes a wealth of Deep Purple rarities - unreleased live tracks, demos, rehearsal sessions and even pre-Purple tracks by each of the band's 1970s members. Add to this a 120-page book detailing the band's history from its formation in 1968 to the sad (temporary) demise in 1976. Get the low-down on this massive Purple offering.

Didi Zill's Deep Purple photo book is a 432-page tome featuring extensive extracts from German photographer Didi Zill's 21 years of friendship with the members of Deep Purple. In more than 600 photographs, the book travels with Deep Purple on tour, goes backstage, visits the band members in their homes and - of course - portrays them onstage in full flight. One of the book's many high lights is Zill's fly-on-the-wall perspective of the Machine Head recording sessions in a cold hotel corridor in Montreux 1971.

Machine Head Classic Albums DVD is latest in a highly acclaimed series of DVDs going behind the scenes to document the writing and recording sessions that spawned some of rock's most classic albums (hence the title!). Through interviews and musical re-enactments all five members of Deep Purple Mark 2 tell the story of the making of Deep Purple's most successful studio album. Glover gets behind the soundboard desk to pick out individual instruments from the master tapes, while Blackmore and Lord give examples of how many of the album's instrumental high lights are played.

Sonic Zoom is the name of the record label currently releasing some of the most fascinating Deep Purple live albums. A word of warning that these include bootlegs and archive recordings of sometimes lesser quality should however not detract from the musical excellence often contained in these shows. It took the label a long time to get off the ground, but so far they've got five titles out (or about to be released), and there's not a duff one among them.

Older stuff...

Ian Paice - Not For The Pros is the long awaited DVD where Deep Purple's sticksman (there can be only one, accept no substitute) takes the viewer on a detailed tour through the world of drumming accortding to Ian Paice. First he explains his equipment and takes you on a tour of the factories that make it, then he talks about ways of drumming and offers tricks on how to get better, and finally there's a large section of footage of Ian in the studio (albeit not with Deep Purple) and on the road (with Deep Purple). There's bits of his always entertaining and enriching clinics and more.
