David Coverdale and Whitesnake pay tribute to their Deep Purple roots with The Purple Album: Special Gold Edition, a newly remixed and remastered collection celebrating the legendary Mark 3 and Mark 4 lineups of Deep Purple. This 2023 release is a heartfelt homage dedicated with love and respect to Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Hughes, Ian Paice, and the late Jon Lord, Tommy Bolin, and Martin Birch — a deeply personal project from Coverdale honoring the music that shaped his career.
Recorded with a powerhouse lineup including Reb Beach, Joel Hoekstra, Michael Devin, and drummer Tommy Aldridge — returning to a Whitesnake studio album for the first time since 1989 — this release delivers exceptional clarity of sound in a beautifully presented gatefold package with printed inner sleeves, pressed in Germany. Whether you're a longtime Whitesnake fan or a Deep Purple devotee, The Purple Album: Special Gold Edition is a compelling listen that bridges both worlds with care and craftsmanship.
