Book Description
It is now 35 years since Deep Purple first came together and today -- 14 musicians, 17 albums, and millions of record sales later -- the group remains a monster. Smoke on the Water is the first book in more than 20 years to tell the story of this remarkable band, from their grandiose inception in 1968 to the release of their latest album in 2003. Drawing from candid interviews with band members, associates, and fans alike, it traces the group through some of the most turbulent times that any band has survived, placing the band's own music in vivid context and illustrating just how profoundly this one group helped change the world.

Book Description
"Deep Purple has duly earned its reputation as one of Britain's all-time greatest rock bands but what sets them apart from most others is the addition of other great bands and solo projects that have been spawned from current and former members. Rainbow, Whitesnake and Gillan have been the most commercially successful but other cult bands such as Warhorse, Captain Beyond and Paice Ashton Lord add to the legacy. Additionally the various members' careers have been interwoven with many other seminal rock acts from Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates and The Kinks through to Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Nazareth, Rory Gallagher and Judas Priest - even to the likes of Yvonne Elliman and Adam Faith."--Back cover.
