If you have ever had disagreements with fellow fans about various facts or want to test the biggest fan on just how good their Deep Purple knowledge is, then this is the book for you. * How did Ian Paice and Rod Evans end up supporting Deep Purple? * Why did Ritchie Blackmore's country and western guitar playing save him from a beating? * Why did Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler review a Purple gig? * Who first recorded versions of several Deep Purple songs, complete with an orchestra? * Did Deep Purple's explosive performance at Plumpton really prevent Yes from performing? * Who did Deep Purple sue for selling bootlegs? * Which big rock star did the band get in a spat with at Knebworth? * Why did the Bee Gees receive Purple's lifetime achievement award? * What was Deep Purple's involvement with a film about a sixteenth century naval explorer that never got produced? * Why were some of Deep Purple's recent gigs illegal?
The answers to all these questions, and many more amazing facts are revealed in this captivating book.

Rolf Arnesen – 15.03.2016

– Forfatteren har tatt seg inn på et sidespor av Deep Purples suksesshistorie. Her får vi servert kjente og ukjente historier med en klar, subjektiv vinkling med en humoristisk undertone. Alle de korte historiene kan leses hver for seg. Full av overraskelser.
