Deep Purple was, in a sense, a launching ground for the solo careers of Ian Gillian, Roger Glover, et al. This 2003 compilation features tunes from D.P. and other associates such as Mike Hurst, Steve Morse, Nick Simper, and Eddie Hardin. Though this double CD set is enterprisingly billed as the story of the seminal U.K. prog rock outfit Deep Purple, it is in fact an equally entertaining and informative look at the output of some of the spinoff acts the band spawned over the years, including Roger Glover & the Guilty Party's "Burn Me Up Slowly ," and Glenn Hughes' "Until Tomorrow." But for true Purple aficionados there's a trio of the band's groundbreaking orchestral recordings, as well as one of their biggest pop hits, "Black Night," and of course the unforgettable "Smoke on the Water."
