DEEP PURPLE Reissuing New Album With Bonus Tracks

February 15, 2006

Launch Radio Networks repors: DEEP PURPLE is re-releasing their new album "Rapture of the Deep" in expanded form. The new edition has live versions of some "Rapture" songs, as well as a few DEEP PURPLE classics. Bassist Roger Glover told Launch how those tracks came about. "We opened the Hard Rock Cafe in London a few months back [on October 10, 2005]," he said. "It was recorded, and I think there's three or four of those songs — including some of the new ones — are gonna be put out on a kind of special LP that's coming out. It's the 'Rapture' 25-minute anniversary — usually it's 25 years, this is 25 minutes."

The new "Rapture of the Deep" is being rolled out across Europe and in Japan in the next month or so, to coincide with the band's tour dates abroad. There's no word yet on whether it will also come out here when they play North America later this year.

DEEP PURPLE and ALICE COOPER are in the midst of a tour of Germany.

01. Clearly Quite Absurd (new version)
02. Things I Never Said (Japanese bonus track)
03. The Well Dressed Guitar (unreleased)
04. Rapture Of The Deep (live)
