Subject: [Deep_Purple] writer(s) for my page wanted
From: BSchwanke(at-a-domain-named)aol.com
Hi all!
Maybe some of you have already noticed that I own a page called "Metal and
Hard Rock Area". I'm currently looking for one or two new writers for the
page who preferably should listen to AOR or Hard Rock Music. I already have
some writers for Metal and Progressive Metal but I would like to feature
more CD reviews about AOR bands...
We are mainting the page just for fun and usually review all our new CDs.
So,
your taste is welcome! The page also features some concert reviews, links
section and more. We also would like to concentrate on the Underground Music
scene in the nearest future as well and are going to add some more
features...
At the moment, we are three writers from Germany (including myself :-), one
from Singapore, one from Sweden and soon our first writer from the States.
So,
it doesn't matter which country you are from!
For the case you are interested to join us, have a look at the page:
http://members.aol.com/BSchwanke/default.html
Please, e-mail me privately at:
BSchwanke(at-a-domain-named)aol.com
Please include some infos about yourself in your mail like: name, fave bands
and so on...
Bye,
Birgitt

Subject: Rainbow Rising On Tour
I have to agree with Dean Webb's emphatically positive review of "Rainbow
Rising" - I had the album cover painted on my black denim jacket in the daze
of my youth, still looks great but doesn't fit me - the live double -CD
"Rainbow In germany" or in Europe is AMAZING - it is from around the time of
"Rainbow On Stage" and is even better than that amazing CD. No lie - KILLER
version of "Stargazer." Jim
{Dean "I got that CD, too!" Webb: I got that CD, too! Mine was a "Mausoleum
Classix" release. I think there are several versions of the CD out there. I
strongly recommend you get the double CD version: there's a single CD
version with a bunch of the stuff cut way back. Get the double CD and amaze
your friends!}

Hi All
Someone asked about the LP Wizards Convention. Yes it was realeased on LP,
I have not seen it on CD yet though. I will look through my LP collection
and see if I can dig up more details on it.
Which reminds me, has anyone out there seen if Roger Gover´s Butterfly Ball
has been released on CD, if I recall correctly this had Dio, Coverdale and
Hughes taking shots at some of the songs.
Cheers
Eric

[Rzasa, Tim] They would also sometimes do a little of Woman From
Tokyo - w/ turner singing a little as well a bit of Child in Time before
Catch the Rainbow -(just the beginning part no vocals)in the 70's
[Rzasa, Tim]
Does any one know the details of what is going on with the release
of Days may Come.....
(cttb outtakes)? It would be a real shame if these did not get
released because of the Bolin Archives!!!

Hello saw your post on the DP letters. As a huge Bonnet fan I wanted to
say I'd heard he was in the LA area doing voice overs for commercials.
Recently he was also credited in these same pages as appearing on one or
two albums but I don't remember who it was with. Perhaps back editions
of the DP letters are available with this info . Good luck Regards John

Hi Dean.
I'm still trying to get rid of all the mail I've tried to send people for
some time, so here's another message! Maybe this is something you could put
into your DP pages, not send it to DPD list members.
When I saw what you wrote about House of the Blue Light, I decided to find
the booklet I bought in 1987 when DP were in Helsinki, Finland. Now, over
ten years later it is quite interesting read. I've had no time to scan the
pics, but I copied (half of) the text and send it now to you. Cover of the
booklet was quite similar to the HotBL's cover, and the size was about the
same as lp's size.
Kippis
Heikki
{Dean Webb: I thought about posting the entire booket to the list, but it is
quite a few pages. If you would like to see it though, Heikki did put it in
MS Word format: send a message to me and I can forward it on to ya. It's an
interesting example of "the band we got now is the best it's ever been"
phenomenon bands and their publicists are keen to perpetuate. I guess that's
becuase bands that don't toe the party line tend to fall apart... (see also
Gillan 1983 tour)}

Best DP chord, ever!
OK, we've gone over the best album, song, member, stuff like that. But what
was the single greatest chord/note the band ever struck? I'm not talking
about an entire measure, or even two notes, I mean *one* chord/note that
just absolutely stands on its own.
There's that swelling note in "Lazy" that starts off pure and gets so loud
and dirty. The crashing chord that concludes "Space Truckin'" from Made in
Japan. Ian Gillan's scream at the end of (various) live versions of "Strange
Kind of Woman." David Coverdale's throaty moan in the middle of
"Mistreated." That first chord right after the first three drumbeats in
"Hard Lovin' Man." The Bolin blast at the beginning of "Comin' Home."
For me, it's the one from "Lazy". It made me a DP fan forever. I always
crank it the loudest on Machine Head.
So what's your favorite note?

In a message dated 23/11/98 16:00:35 GMT, you write:
<< Ian Gillan - somewhere in the UK
Lyme Regis in Dorset,definitely.
Jon Lord and Ian Paice - somwhere in the UK >>
Both in Henley on Thames,probably.

Hi everybody!
I just want to let you know that I just created a Blackmore Mailing List a
couple of minutes ago...it's just for fun and shall be a ground for all kind
of discussions about Ritchie's music.
In the past, some friends and I opened various chat rooms mostly on the AOL
server to discuss about our favourite bands like Rainbow, Blackmore's
Night,
Deep Purple, Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Stuart Smith, Mothers Army, Dio,
Black Sabbath, Whitesnake and all the others...a mailing list would be
another
chance to invite some more people to be with us. So, if you want to join us,
subscribe here:

Take care,
Birgitt

Subject: Morse out - Marsh in?
Yesterday I heard a rumour saying that Steve has left the band, his
replacement being Joakim Marsh (Spellbound/Glenn Hughes). I feel quite
sure this isn't true, but I'd still like to hear if anyone else has
heard this rumour. Where does it come from?
Daniel
{Dean "No way, man!" Webb: I just went to the deep-purple.com website to see
if anything was there: it looked like there's a picture of the Nov. 26
concert in Holmdel with what appears to be Mr. Morse on banjo. Sounds like
what you got was just a rumor. It could have also been a rumour, depending
or not whether you use Fleetwood Mac album titles as a spell checker.
If anybody else has got proof one way or the other, do come forth. Until
then, don't spread rumors! (Or rumours... see above) Checking facts is
always a good thing. I know because I've started a few rumours myself. (The
funniest was Joe Lynn Turner being considered as lead singer for Black
Sabbath... that was unintentional... the most believable (lately) was the
one about Black Sabbath doing every single song, including Dio, Gillan,
Hughes, and Tony Martin material, for a *special* Letterman sattelite feed.
I almost fell for that one, and I made it up!
Anyway, if and when I do streeeeetch the truth on this list, I'll make
appropriate disclaimers, so as not to start any unfounded rumors. Or
rumours.}
