The 2015 project saw David Coverdale pay tribute to his work with Deep Purple with re-recorded versions of classic tracks from the three albums he appeared on during his three-year tenure with the legendary group: 1974’s “Burn” and “Stormbringer”, and 1975’s “Come Taste The Band.”
The 2023 reissue sees Coverdale celebrating the 50th anniversary of his Deep Purple debut with a newly-remixed and remastered version of the album joined by a series of alternative mixes, live recordings, and the original 1972 demo that landed the rocker his gig with the iconic UK band; he stumbled upon it among his late mother’s belongings.
In the album’s liner notes, Coverdale says: “I had no idea my Mam had the tape…For me, to open my Mam’s trunk of personal items, 30 years after her passing, was a gift from Heaven.”
The 2CD/Blu-ray edition includes an extensive collection of videos, a behind-the-scenes look at the album’s making, and a song-by-song commentary by Coverdale, while a 2LP gold vinyl version will be available on the day of release.
Whitesnake is previewing “The Purple Album: Special Gold Edition” with a new remix of a live version of the “Burn” title track.
