Deep Purple: pioneers of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Legends of Rawk. It's about time Music On Vinyl gave them the star treatment. And we're starting with an album that was not rele ased on vinyl when it came out in 1996: Purpendicular.The legendary band's 15th studio album was the first one they recorded with new guitarist Steve Morse, who pulled the band up to new heights and made this the most experimental Deep Purple album to date.
