So,
does the box have a purpose at all? Well if you know someone who needs
converting to Deep Purple live then this could be just the thing. At
what is in effect a budget price, it makes an ideal introduction, combined
with the thorough 16 page overview of the band's entire live output
which comes with the box. As well as this, each disc has a four page
inlay, and there's a set of 12 CD sized collectors cards. Everything
is housed inside a tough slipcase, and as one DPAS member said "at
least it's all there in one place when I want to indulge".
