Not a Deep Purple book, but this may interest fans who still enjoy and collect vinyl on a wider level.
Basically it's a fab collection
of Japanese single sleeves from the 60s onwards. The covers come from
a number of record company archives in Japan, with close on a
thousand sleeves featured in full colour. Track titles, label and
release date are given for every single, with notes about each act.
Volume One covers A-M so Deep Purple are included, with every sleeve
illustrated. A selection of Gillan covers are also included, as well
as obscure singles by bands like Jerusalem (produced by Gillan),
Episode Six, etc.
You can read more about this book at the publishers website
(www.easyontheeye.net) and check out some detailed sample pages there
too.
DPASMailorder will be stocking the title, but you can order it
direct from the publishers. Publication is slated for March 2009.
