Rare and unseen footage of Deep Purple performing for the TV cameras in Europe during the early seventies. Included here are the songs that propelled the band to greatness. Also featured are the earliest known recordings of the classic Mark II line up of Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Gillan and and Glover. This is Deep Purple putting new material through it's paces that would ultimately surface on the legendary first album, Deep Purple in Rock, including the earliest versions of the all time classics Speed king and Child in Time. A unique feature of the material is the time and space allocated to Ritchie Blackmore to stretch out and demonstrate the amazing virtuoso technique which has seen him rightly dubbed as the greatest guitarist of all time. Additional footage includes rare German TV footage of performances of Hallelujah, Highway Star and No, No, No. As an added bonus the Disc also features British TV footage of Ian Gillan and his band performing some Purple Classics for the cameras in 1989.
