Deep Purple : Rapture of the Deep (Transparent Sky Blue Vinyl g/fold sleeve) Tom Odell Robert FrippWhen 'Rapture of the Deep' was first released in 2005, it felt like the start of something new. Twenty years on, it's clear that it was a crucial chapter in Deep Purple's journey. It's no secret that 'Rapture of the Deep' isn't the first album that comes to mind when listing Deep Purple's classics. But it's equally true that this record and the story behind it played a key role in shaping the band we know today. New liner notes by Classic Rock's Geoff
