If you look for classical Heavy Metal, this one has most of it........2006-03-08

Deep Purple from the classical period, has much of the most, and get`s better and better everytime you listen to it.
Here you have all the hit`s from the early 5 album`s from
70-74 purplemania period. It rules, it rocks, in other words it does it. This has the most, and bring`s back the classical "purpel ghost". Track 1 Woman from Tokyo, burst`s into you ear with the drum beat to speed up the tempo into a enjoyable "purple tour". Jon Lord`s keyboard/organ with early effective synth play ,makes it on this one, and ties it together in a effective way. Track 2 Fireball is an uptempo fastback hardtop sprint heavy metal gem. It moves so fast so you nearly missed you breath. Track 3 Strange kind of Woman, is the blues heavymetal hybrid, which swing`s and spark `s in all it`s glory. Track 4 Never before is probably the weak spot on this CD, but that`s a very minor fault. This is not very "heavy metal" , but it swing`s ok all trough. Track 5 Black Night, is a live track that brings a very effective gut`s to the song. This is the one you must try to put your`e amplifier up to eleven. Greatness shines ! Track 6 Speed King, begins with a church organ playing, very slow build up, but then suddenly explode into classical heavy metal which realy kicks ass, man. Track 7 Smoke on the Water. The ultimate Deep Purple classic, here in it`s live version with some improvisations, does the 5 star all by it self. It rock`s, it moves, and it`s classical guarntee powerd heavy metal that should flash fire your`e soul in a joyful direction. Track 8 Child in Time, is a worthy closer on this "golden record". It has the element`s of a ballad that make`s you relax too.
If you look for classical Heavy Metal, this is the real thing.

Great Mark II collection, would give it 10 stars, if able.......2002-10-25

As mentioned in the review to Purplexed, this is a fantastic single Mark II compilation of "Classic" Purple. The remastering makes Ian Gillan's voice soar, Ritchie Blackmore's guitar sing, Roger Glover's bass rumble, and Ian Paice's drums and Jon Lord's organ, sound terrific. The members of Deep Purple are masters of metal, better than any "sound alike" bands, if there were any, on the market today. I'd grab up as many of the cds as you can. Also, if you also like darker, and heavier, their fellow Brits, Black Sabbath, are also worth a listen. This music holds up 20 to 30 years later, let's see any of today's "artists" say that 20 to 30 years down the line. Black Sabbath and Deep Purple rule!

Stunning performance.......2005-02-03

Not being a fan of Deep Purple, I was just stunned by this album. It captured the band at the peak of their creative activity. In fact live performances here (some are studio recordings) are just fantastic and driving to the limit. Not being improvisational by the nature of their music, Deep Purple here has shown the use of inner energy that was so strong in classical British rock bands.
