{"product_id":"deep-purple-purpendicular-2lp-red","title":"Deep Purple - Purpendicular [2LP Red]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve Morse's arrival breathed new life into Deep Purple, and Purpendicular, the 1996 album that proved it, spreads across two 180-gram red LPs in a limited run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Ritchie Blackmore gone, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice brought in the former Dixie Dregs guitarist and produced the record themselves in Florida. The new blood shows on every track. The result is the most adventurous album of their later career, full of fresh guitar tones, unexpected detours into folk and a sense of humour that had been missing for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic\" rides a swaggering riff and Morse's squealing pinch harmonics, while \"Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming\" builds slowly into one of the most emotional ballads in the band's catalogue. \"The Aviator\" brings in an acoustic, Celtic flavour, and \"Hey Cisco\" charges along at full tilt. Lord's Hammond organ is still the glue, threading warmth and grit through every arrangement, and Paice swings as hard as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarded by many fans as a late-period high point, it gave the band two songs that remained fixtures of their live sets for years. On red vinyl and spread over four sides, it finally gets the room and presentation it deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57109923856689,"sku":"8719262042704","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Deep_Purple-Purpendicular_2LP_Red.jpg?v=1792935398","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/deep-purple-purpendicular-2lp-red","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
