In arrivo nei negozi ‘Deep Purple: Hard Road – The Mark 1 Studio Recording 1968-1969’

In un lasso di tempo di soli 15 mesi – dal loro primo concerto in Danimarca il 20 aprile del 1968, fino alla loro ultimo show a Cardiff il 4 Luglio 1969 – in meno di un anno i Deep Purple hanno registrato e pubblicato tre album che avrebbero gettato le basi musicali per i prossimi cinque decenni, forgiando ed influenzando la carriera artistica di una miriade di bands tra cui Rainbow, Whitesnake, Gillan e, naturalmente, i Deep Purple stessi, che continuano a registrare e girare il mondo con i loro tour.
