Newsletter
Five, May
1976 |

Although
Newsletter Five followed the same format as the
previous newsletter, it was accompanied by an interview sheet
and a glossy photo sheet (neither of which are still available),
so people were getting a fair bit for their modest subscription
fee - honest. The lack of detail on the pictures in the newsletter
was annoying but I'd still no way of screening the shots at
a price we could afford. Everything was still on a shoe-string
budget but so long as costs were covered we didn't care. We
also experimented with offering b/w 10x8 photographic prints
which I'd taken at Purple's Liverpool show, printed up at college
(again). Bolin's name was still mud too, being blamed for the
duff tour almost everywhere. Although the Purple split was not
yet known we did report an almighty row back stage after the
last Wembley show, along with the first serious reunion rumour.
The first of many over the next six years!

The
‘Butterfly Ball’ concert recording is currently being mixed
into a soundtrack to go with the film shot during the concert.
Ian Gillan’s LP was completed in early January, and Roger
Glover took the tapes to Montreux to mix them from January
17th to 23rd. German TV had a scoop over Christmas, namely
the debut of Gillan’s group, with a session they recorded
over there in December. The bassist was Roger Glover!

Ian
Gillan's delux restaurant got quite a lot of press recently
when he ran out of capital to sink into it.
His
band, now to be called The Ian Gillan Band, began their first
tour on April 14th in Toulouse, France. 13 dates in 14 days,
not bad going, including Paris on April 25th. A single from
the album is being put out over there to tie in, an album
track called 'You Make Me Feel So Good'.
