 At long last plans are now being finalised for the first of the much
anticipated DPAS discography updates. It has been decided to follow
the pattern set by the original books back in the early 1980s, and
cover Deep Purple's 68-76 output in Volume One. Volume Two will cover
the reunion. Volume Three the post-Purple bands.
Simon has been
liaising with a number of collectors, and will reactivate the
discography email group shortly to enable people to help with
checking and adding titles from their own collections: "I think it is
crucial to have this input, and we really want these to be
collaborative efforts." Unlike the original book, this time sleeves
will be in colour and it is planned to include shots of as many rare
sleeves as possible.
This may well be published through the fanclub as the first two books
were, but there is the likelihood of a retail edition as well.
We're
told copies of the original two books fetch three figure sums in
Japan - even though DPASMailorder still have copies of Vol 2 on sale!
