We know who wrote what, but I don`t think it`s apparent to the listener. “Officially it`s a five-way split when we write, but different people contribute different things to different songs. Is it always a joint group venture, writing a number? “When we make an album we`ve got to be happy and relaxed, and if you`ve got hassles of getting equipment in from a rehearsal room, it doesn`t help. It`s worth the extra money we spend in studio time, just to be able to avoid the hassles.” Why write most of your numbers actually in the Studio.

And had mattresses up in the windows to avoid people outside from complaining about the sound.” “You know, it`s a bit sick how people spend thousands and thousands of pounds building a recording studio, when we got the right sound in the corridor of a hotel. We recorded the tracks from December 6th to 21st, working at least twelve hours a day, and the whole thing was mixed in three days. “Getting the Stones` mobile was our idea – we`d heard it was a good one, and it cost us around £5,000 for the time we had it. I`d hazard a guess at £8,000 – as compared to the last one, which cost around the £6,000 mark. And by the time you add up things, like hotel bills, it works out pretty expensive. We hired the Stone`s mobile, and that isn`t cheap. It wasn`t cheaper, or anything like that. “No – we chose Switzerland to record the album simply for business reasons. Was there any special reason for recording the album in Switzerland, which I understand to be the case? The resulting album, “Machine Head”, was 100 per cent better as a result. “I think the rest period was very important, in that when you rest you think much more clearly. As it was, they almost had to force us on stage in Chicago without him. Mind you, a few people outside the band suggested we do some gigs without him. “No, we never even considered getting another singer in – no one suggested that. Was it ever suggested you bring in a temporary replacement? Apart from that the band is very happy together.” But as long as he gets rest, he`ll be fine. He can`t lift anything now – not even a suitcase. We layed off for four or five weeks, and now Ian`s got to take it very carefully.
Q: How has Ian Gillan`s illness affected Purple: I understand he now has to rest considerably.Ī: “Ian`s illness, hepetitus, was complicated with jaundice. This week NME`s Julie Webb spoke to bassist Roger Glover – a lesser-known quantity in Purple, because he does few interviews, but an interesting and articulate person just the same… They`ve completed a short tour and almost ready is their next album, `Machine Head`, expected to release in March.

Such a fine musical legacy – such fine musicians! Enjoy!Īfter a bad patch towards the end of `71 – when lead singer Ian Gillan was ordered to rest, and the band had to cancel an American tour – Deep Purple are back again. But I really had no other choice than to publish the interview below, as Deep Purple is one of the bands that I dearly love. Once again, a great edition of the NME with many fine artists interwieved.
