A gold treasure was never lifted

Come Taste The Band (35th Anniversary Edition 2 CD Set) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

What was panned this album then - and as Deep Purple shortly thereafter (temporarily) dissolve, the glee of the self-proclaimed critics continue to grow this album yet.

As they all were wrong! Deep Purple showed no longer reasonably possible playfulness here. The songs defy only of creativity and so showed the industry what's what.
Although disgruntled Deep Purple Richie Blackmore, who wanted nothing more to do because of the increasing funk and soul influences with "this style of music" after the album "Stormbringer" then with this record their old fans as well; But this was to be able to produce well-requirement to this masterpiece at all.

It is precisely this perfect mixture of rock, soul, blues and especially radio make this album. And again and again the amazing guitar solos of Tommy Bolin. He interprets the songs in an incredible way. So they had not yet heard an electric guitar before. What a pity that Bolin shortly thereafter shot with heroin in the sky. Otherwise he may also reap the fruits of his labor. So it remained unrecognized genius.

David Coverdale has finally found here in the 3rd start with DP at his best, the whole is rounded off by the strong-voiced singing of Glen Hughes and Tommy Bolin. John Lord and Ian Paice were anyway masters of their craft. Five brilliant musician had found on this album together - without a corresponding assessment was. But life is just not always just. Maybe it was the negative vortex in the previous year, triggered by the frequent personnel changes and the many - too many? - Albums, which were produced in the shortest time intervals - which has raised a Deep Purple fatigue. Anyway - the genius of "Come Taste The Band" this does not change.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the remastered version (35th Anniversary Edition 2 CD Set) get with Kevin Shirley Remixes! It's incredible what has been brought out here, the songs again. No comparison to the original from 1975!
To calm: the songs themselves were hardly tinkered with, but the technical quality is comparable to a current recording of today.
Here much Groove's inside that you may not believe it to have a Deep Purple album from the 70- in hand. Namely, the interesanteste its kind.

Of course, "Come Taste The Band" stylistically unlike eg "In Rock" or "Made in Japan". - But who opens his ears far who will quickly notice what a jewel he holds in his hand!
