“Rapture
of the Deep “
He was published by the German label Edel and reached the top 20 in some European countries, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. The disc instead had a rather cold welcome both in Great Britain and in the United States.
In the cover notes the bassist of
Deep Purple Roger Glover
He says: “We were going through a somewhat difficult period when we started writing and producing” Rapture of the Deep “and, strangely, we didn’t have a record company at that point. Let’s admit it, we were a little lost”.
Thus, Glover went to work on a new mix, which was burned in analog at the Chameleon Studios in Hamburg.
