30: Very Best of Deep Purple Reviews

Date : Apr 4, 2024
The Purple released this anniversary compilation for their thirty years of existence. In terms of tracklist, it is OK. As far as the versions are concerned, I am totally knocked out !
Most of the tracks are edited. The worse of course is reached with "Woman From Tokyo" and more than all with "Child In Time". This one is reduced to a mere four minutes fifteen seconds. It is faded out during Ritchie guitar solo !
What's this crap ?
Same treatment for "Never Before", "Burn", "You Keep On Moving" and "Perfect Strangers".
If you are new to the Purple, you have to avoid this one BY ALL MEANS. Get "The Deepest Purple" instead.
