Title promising the very best of Deep Purple. But is it really? I'd say maybe most of the best from the Harvest years. I would have liked at least one from their sadly underestimated third eponimous LP and maybe some of my other personal favourites, like "No One Came" from Fireball, "Maybe I'm A Leo" from Machine Head, or why not "Listen, Learn, Read on" from Book Of Taliesyn. But as a twelve track single LP the compiling is pretty good. I do get their breakthrough 45 only "Black Night", also"Speed King" and "Child In Time" from In Rock, title track and "Demons Eye" from Fireball and "Highway Star" and "Smoke On The Water" from Machine Head. Also the audio on this press is just dandy all the way through - loud and clear - making the cuts well as hard and rude as they were intended when first recorded. I guess if You're reading this You already have some of those albums, or at least some of the many other band compilations that's been issued since. But if You for some reason are new to the band, or maybe having a hard time finding something close to their best efforts fitting Your wallet and wan't good analog listening for just a couple of bucks, this comes recommended. Issued and reissued on all possible formats all over the world through the years. The 30th Anniversery Edition 2xCD (50999 9475712 5) came with thirtyone tracks. First UK had label as shown here in a thin matte cover. (DHÄ*) (HÄVL*)
