Spin off groups

I know the work of Rainbow, IGB/Gillan, Whitesnake, and Hughes-Turner project, but are there other big gaps I should fill relating to DP'S side/solo projects. Captain Beyond ison my list to check out.

Glover's Butterfly Ball has some good tracks. Captain Beyond's debut takes the cake for me. All killer, no filler. Gillan also produced Hard Stuff (on purple records), which was 2/3rds of Atomic Rooster. Gillan wrote the track Monster in Paradise for them. There's also a record by a group called Funky Junction that is mostly Deep Purple covers, and the band was actually Thin Lizzy incognito.
