Design by Artwork.

Весьма любопытный сборник, созданный при участии неугомонного Саймона Робинсона (DPAS). К сожалению, на CD-версию не вошли два фрагмента интервью с Ритчи Блэкмором, а главное — редкая композиция в исполнении DEEP PURPLE — «Show Me The Way To Go Home» (отмечена звездочкой (*)). С другой стороны, на CD представлены ранее неиздававшиеся версии «Playground», «Guitar Job», «No No No» и «Highway Star».

В записи «I Shall Be Released» группы BOZ (1968 г.) также принимали участие Иен Пэйс и Джон Лорд. По другим данным, авторство «Doo Dah Day» приписывается не Джо Мику, a Blackmore/Hodges/Lundgren/Underwood. Авторство «Keep A-Knockin’» указано неверно. Правильное см. далее в сборнике Getaway.

Вторая часть «профиля» Ритчи Блэкмора. На этот раз в CD-версию (тираж отпечатан во Франции) не вошли третья часть интервью с Ритчи Блэкмором (первые две — на виниловой версии Rock Profile Volume One) и песня «Like A Bird Without Feathers». Зато представлены две песни из альбома Лорда Сатча Hands Of Jack The Ripper, а также записи Блэкмора с RANDY PIE & FAMILY и с Джеком Грином. Сборник был издан на CD США в 1998 г. на «BGO Records» (9119).

Интересный факт: композиция «Gemini Suite: Guitar Movement» представлена в укороченном варианте. В полном варианте (17’22) сюита была выпущена лишь в 1993 г. британской фирмой «RPM Records» (RPM 114) на альбоме Gemini Suite Live, причем, эту часть на обложке диска ошибочно назвали «First Movement: Guitar. Voice», а не «First Movement: Guitar. Organ». «Honey Hush» была на второй стороне сингла, а не на первой.

Sleeve notes by Simon Robinson.

Интересная компиляция песен в исполнении музыкантов, имевших непосредственное отношение к музыкантам из DEEP PURPLE. Представлена одна песня RAINBOW. На вкладке напечатано «фамильное дерево», нарисованное Питом Фрэймом (Pete Frame). Весьма оригинально оформлена обложке — груда значков с названиями различных коллективов.

Под этим же названием сборник был издан в Японии (Teichiku Records TECW-25256), но содержание весьма отличалось от британского. Кроме песен RAINBOW в концертном варианте («Man On The Silver Mountain» и «Kill The King») в японский релиз включены «Little Brown Jug» RICHIE BLACKMORE ORCHESTRA и «Guitar Job».

Castle Music is a label of Sanctuary Records Group Ltd.

Весьма компетентный и разноплановый сборник, на котором в хронологическом порядке представлены композиции разных исполнителей, в записи которых в период с 1963 по 1970 годы принимал в качестве гитариста Ритчи Блэкмор.

Большая часть из этого материал ранее издавалась на различных компиляциях (в том числе Рre Purple), но есть действительно интересные находки, ранее не издававшиеся на компакт-дисках, а некоторые даже на виниле. Только и одном составители слукавили: трэки 23-25 с второго компакта все же выходили в 1991 году официально на The Green Bullfrog Sessions. В компиляцию также иключено радиоинтервью с Ритчи, взятое Джоном Тоблером в 1983 году, в котором гитарист вспоминает о своей ранней карьере, работе с легендарным британским продюсером Джо Миком.

9-й трэк на втором диске — «Honey Hush» — это один из вариантов песни, приобретшей популярность под названием «Yaketty Yak».

P.S. Из-за отсутствия места не включены такие сборники, как, например, The Best Of Ritchie Blackmore (Teichiku Records TECW-21870), Pre Purple People (Purple Records PUR 325) и ряд других компиляций с участием Ритчи Блэкмора, н том числе записи 60-х гг. (The Assasination Of John F. Kennedy, Best Of Michael Cox, Let’s Go! Joe Meek’s Girls (RPM 166) и т.д.).
