24 CARAT PURPLE

The first record I've ever heard of DP and a very exciting one. It was one of the first compilations which was put on a CD. Why is this album special. Because it put together the most amazing live recordings from MADE IN JAPAN and highlights from their studio material, all from the Mark II period. When the album came out it was more than another compilation, because of the live version of BLACK NIGHT, which was excluded from the original release of Made in Japan. In my opinion better than any other version of this song. Essential release for beginners and almost perfect choice of material....
