Deep Purple – Purpendicular

Description

Release Date 20th February 2026

Red Vinyl 2LP

Deep Purple: pioneers of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. The legendary band’s 15th studio album, Purpendicular,
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. There was more focus on the guitar, they used pinch harmonies, they sounded like
they were having fun again; most famously so in ‘Vavoom: Ted The Mechanic’ based on a true story Ian Gillan once heard in a pub.

The excellent riffs and awe-inspiring solos appear on two 180 grams audiophile vinyl LPs, alongside the exclusive, and elusive, bonus track ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath.’

Purpendicular is available as a 30th anniversary edition of 2500 individually numbered copies on red coloured vinyl and includes an insert with lyrics.
