Fan Mail
thank you for covering this compilation album. The song selection is spot on for someone wanting an introduction to Deep Purple in the late 70's. I first heard '24 Carat' in 1980 and Deepest Purple was my first Deep Purple purchase. The artwork on When We Rock is evocative of the Bridge of the Starship Enterprise,Star Wars and Close Encounters doing the rounds in the Cinemas.. especially Space Trucking opening the album,it must have attracted the casual fan too. CD packaging was mostly basic and this didn't release didn't get the bonus tracks,attractive booklet with informed sleeve notes. The album is off its time,and I imagine it was seen in Supermarkets,Gas Stations and Newsagents. Keep up the good work!
