DEEP PURPLE: New Audio Interview With IAN GILLAN Available

July 18, 2007

A new audio interview with DEEP PURPLE frontman Ian Gillan has been posted at The Musician's Voice. Ian chats about the current DEEP PURPLE lineup, the band's last couple of studio records, and his "Gillan's Inn" CD. He also offers up a funny story about dealing with PURPLE drummer Ian Paice's feet while on the road in the old days.

As previously reported, an eight-minute DEEP PURPLE report that aired on the '80s British BBC TV program "The Old Grey Whistle Test", featuring footage of the band's U.K. fans traveling to Paris in 1987 to see the group perform as well as a short interview with Roger Glover and Ritchie Blackmore, has been posted at YouTube.

Eagle Rock Entertainment, through two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, recently released "They All Came Down To Montreux: Deep Purple Live At Montreux 2006" as a deluxe 187-minute two-DVD set (Eagle Eye Media, $19.98) and CD (Eagle Records, $13.98). On June 26, an HD-DVD version was also released.
