Deep Purple live from Granada Studios,
Castlefield, Manchester July 14th 1970. Pressed on 110g purple coloured
10" vinyl. “We’d all been recording artists before ‘In Rock’, but none
of us had done something like this before.” (Ian Gillan) What unfolded
in the Granada TV studios on 14th July, 1970 was Deep Purple putting new
material through its paces from the legendary album; Deep Purple in
Rock. Hearing Ritchie Blackmore stretch out and demonstrate the demonic
power of annihilation at the hands of a guitar genius, Gillan’s soaring
vocals and some of Jon Lord’s heaviest Hammond organ solos, Deep
Purple’s appearance on the pioneering pop programme in the summer of
1970 is a master craft in rock performance and a key early example of
the hard rock and heavy metal genres. London Calling takes you back to
1970 when the first steps in heavy metal were being made at Granada
Studios, Manchester. Presented with a fully restored and professionally
remastered original TV broadcast with background notes and timeline
photos. Features the incredible performance live from Granada Studios,
