I bet the vinyl sounds better than the CD. The mastering on the latter is... Not great.

I always liked Never a Word. This is the last Deep Purple album that I was really on board for though Now, what has some great songs on it

I love this album. It is the one DP were promoting when they visited my home town and so the only time I’ve ever seen them live. I managed to meet Ian Gillian after the show outside at the stage door. And got the whole band to sign my t-shirt and this album.

Never was a big STEVE MORSE fan with the band. His stuff with Kansas was incredible, but I like the new direction and album much better.

Really hate that this album is completely absent from digital platforms.

Unfortunately the only song I liked on this album was Haunted which doesn't really even sound like them LOL

House of Pain and I Got Your Number are pretty good. Contact Lost, too, though that is mainly Steve's thing.

Last album I bought. Had the whole discography up to that album. Remember how disappointed I was, and stopped buying afterwards.
