THE DEEP PURPLE COLLECTION

Another one??? I haven't actually bought this one, but from on the tracklisting I can deduct that this is another compilation of their two 80s albums, with additional live tracks from that era. Now, it's silly enough to make a compilation spanning merely two studio albums (plus some very weak live renditions of classics), but the worst thing is that there have been at least two others of its kind: "Knocking at your Backdoor: The Best of Deep Purple" and "Smoke on the Water" - both having the same tracklisting. It's is a pitiful attempt to cash in with these, quite frankly, subpar songs. If you are looking to get to know Deep Purple, avoid this one like a plague!
