Big Ears

I think Who Do We Think We Are? has plenty of good tracks: Woman From Tokyo, Mary Long, Rat Bat Blue and (my favourite) Place in the Line. Perfect Strangers is a great album and does not have a weak track, although, admittedly, Gillan's lyrics leave a bit to be desired. I also think there are good things to be found on House of Blue Light and The Battle Rages On. Nobody's Perfect has a great version of Hush with Ian Gillan on lead vocals, while the In the Absence of Pink: Knebworth '85 (not released until 1991) is a strong live companion to Perfect Strangers. I love Deep Purple and would rather have material from them on an off day, than most bands on a good day. Sadly, I never saw them live. I had plans to see them (I think) around the time Tommy Bolin joined, but it fell through.

I do know the Armageddon album, although I overlooked it at the time. Keith Relf was a member of the early and best Renaissance. They (the original Renaissance) continued as Illusion, with Jane Relf in place of Keith. Bobby Caldwell, who always seemed to miss the boat, was also a member of Armageddon.

US, have you heard DT's Made in Japan? The combination of DP and DT is great!
