Did you know

  • Trivia
    On early Deep Purple albums (the ones with Rod Evans, and the live Concerto), Jon Lord was essentially in creative control of the band. As such, these early releases feature songs that are more on an artsy, experimental side than the later releases, on which Blackmore became the creationist.
