5 stars This collection includes at least one song from every Deep Purple studio album and includes all their hits like Smoke On The Water, Highway Star and Space Truckin'. Being a Deep Purple fan who only owned two previous Albums I was very impressed with the whole collection here. Every song is unique. Disc 1 has the songs from the early days. Mandrake Root and Child In Time certainly stand out for me. Black Night is also very good but is in its single edit. Not as many hard rock songs here but still an impressive CD. Disc 2 is much more like the Purple I like with songs like Burn, Highway Star and Space Truckin'. 3 songs here are in their '97 remix versions. Never Before and Lazy are Live versions. Another consistently good disc. The final disc brings us right up to date with a song off the last album called Sun Goes Down. The later songs are really heavy but are still enjoyable. Stormbringer is another of my favourites. No matter how many changes are made to the line up of Deep Purple they will always remain a superb rock group and this collection certainly proves that. Die hard fans may already own everything but for newer fans this is a must. Fantastic CD!!! If you like this then Made In Japan Live should be the next Purple CD you buy.
