Deep Purple have finished recording their first-ever all covers album, Turning To Crime, that will be in the shops on November 26. When boredom hit them during the lockdown they decided to use the internet technology to play together and swap files, and dig into the music they grew up with, not playing them as faithfull renditions, but making them Purple songs that happened to be written by other bands.
The album first single, a raucous version of the Love classic 7 And 7 Is, is a good start for sure. It will be available in a shitload of formats and is avaibable for preorder here.
