Rather
than try to include links to every Deep Purple-related site out there,
we're just including some of our favourite places to go to - either because they're useful for news, good to look at, or well put together (and sometimes all three!). |
|
| Deep Purple General Sites | |
| www.deeppurple.com | "Deep Purple's Offical Fan Community website." This is the band's new official site, set-up by a merchandising company (who run many other websites for sport stars and celebrities) with some band input. |
| www.deep-purple-japan.net | It's early days yet for this new site in Japan which aims to try and
bridge the gap between English and Japanese fans, with information in
both languages. It is based (with permission!) on the look of deep-
purple.net and so far has an illustrated discography of all the
current Japanese edition CDs, a 'rare things library' with shots of
the limited edition vinyl reissues, and the promise of more to come. |
| www.deep-purple.com | "The official Deep Purple site for all press and promoters and anything business related.." It's now unclear who runs this site or what it aims to do, especially since the band took over deeppurple.com (ie without the dash!). |
| Deep Purple 'The Highway Star' |
A good source of mk8 tour reviews and snaps. There are archives to dip into containing some interesting bits and pieces. |

| Deep Purple Members 1968-76 | |

| Roger Glover | Roger's official site, with plenty of input from the man himself. |
| Jon Lord | News website. |
| Nick Simper | Nick SImper website with input from the man himself. Early days, but worth keeping an eye on. |
