Stormbringer

Pleasantly surprised on how good this LP sounds. Early music from DP but rocks on.

Don't ask me why it took me so long to complete my Purple collection (well, the records I like most). I decided to buy it mainly because of the guys in the band (hey, I love Glenn Hughes and everything he does, including "BCC") and also because I think it's one of the best records from the "Coverdale/Hughes" era. Really funky, influenced by GH, and Coverdale's voice is in great shape. For Purple fans, it is a must buy! Let me add that, when I received my copy, I felt somehow afraid of what I saw. The booklet colour reminded of some xerox copies (even with good quality) and I prepared myself for the worse (maybe a "burned" CD inside, who knows...). I was completely wrong! When it started playing, I was so surprised by the sound quality, listening to some details long forgotten after so many years I first heard this title. Very good job, Joe!

I just got this and although it sounds good I am disappointed on CD2 the Intro to Stormbringer is missing and starts with the lyrics...and it says the song is 4:07 minutes long and others have said it is only 3:45 long...still I like the quad mix on CD2 has more bass and clarity....although the back of the case has a crack in it not sure if I did it or it happened while being shipped and in the cold weather......the CD's weren't damage so might see if I can change the jewel case....still the Remixed CD of Come Taste the Band is a lot better.

There are few albums where I like all the songs. But I have to admit this one I love from side A through side B. The songs get better every time I listen. If you like Deep Purple or this type of music you have to buy this.

love this cd. Kind of a cross between bad company and joe walsh. Mid 70's hard rock but bouncy, kind of funky. Was courious to hear this David Coverdale "funky" version of Deep Purple and was pleasently surprised despite complaints from Ritchie Blackmore during interveiws. Impressed with Glen Hugh's voice also. Holly man is a great song. Never made it big but seems to be the type of album that is better to look back on now then it was at the time it came out.

Great disc, great service

I loved this album when I had it in 1975, on eight-track tape. I was 16 years old and listened to that tape a thousand times. David Coverdale was an outstanding singer. I haven't heard any of these tracks for years. I thot about Stormbringer and checked Amazon. They had it available. I bought it and listened to it, as soon as it arrived. I enjoy it now as much as I did over 40 years ago. Good job Amazon. You are awesome! I love Prime membership.

It's an album that takes getting used to! Like Coverdale, like Deep Purple. Maybe I need a little longer for this one!
