IAN GILLAN
LIVE IN THE USSR, 1990


"Ian Gillan was the very first member of DEEP PURPLE to visit Russia. We were still the USSR, still behind the Iron Curtain, and one of many very bad things of that period was that it is impossible to buy good colour film like Kodak or FUJI or AGFA here. (It is very long story how I managed to get a Kodak colour film in 1990 in Moscow!)"
