Deep Purple - Burn (30th Anniversary Edition) (© 2004 EMI Records)



Очередной юбилейный «диппапл». Три десятка лет назад, в 1974 году, вышел очередной альбом Deep Purple, Burn -- самый "попсовый", но классичный, балладный но фанковый, оптимистичный... и так далее. Но, безусловно, один из лучших, классический, где в полной мере были реализованы таланты Дэвида Кавердейла и Гленна Хьюза. У команды принято к тридцатилетнему юбилею переиздавать альбом с бонусами, миксами, улучшенным оформлением и тому подобными коллекционными радостями. Но в отличие от In Rock, изобиловавшего всякими архивными треками или перемикшированного в квадро Machine Head, данный альбом «добивать» было особенно нечем. В 74-м у группы был сумасшедший ритм работы -- только в том году они выпустили два альбома (этот и Stormbringer), еще один -- в 1975-м (Come Taste The Band), не говоря уже о том, что группа активно гастролировала и была на грани распада. Посему понятно, что при переиздании Burn трудно было найти бриллианты в «отстое» -- отстоя этого просто не существует, все писалось набело и сразу шло в дело. Тем не менее помимо нового оформления (картонный слип-кейс с новой картинкой и интересными содержательными liner notes в буклете) есть инструментал Coronarias Redig. Это очень красивая и редкая вещь, выходившая как обратная сторона сингла Might Just Take Your Life. Кстати, фэны группы Rainbow, прослушав среднюю часть этой композиции, узнает в ней мотивчик из раннего репертуара этой группы. Также -- четыре ремикшированные варианты заглавной Burn, Mistreated, You Fool No One и пауэр-баллады Sail Away. В ремиксе эти вещи звучат поярче, но радикального отличия от исходных записей не замечено.

Review taken from progressiveworld.net: I remember rather well that as a 17 year old music lover I was counting the days in order to literally get my hands on the new Deep Purple album. By means of the Belgian DP fanclub, I was already informed about what the sleeve would look like, but once it finally hit the shelves in February 1974, it was still an amazing experience. It was then that rumours had it that the candles that are shown on the album's cover would be made available to the public. Sadly, thirty years later there still is no sign of those candles. Maybe a small amount were once made available as a promotional gimmick, but thirty years on, for sure most of them, if not all, have completely vanished into thin air! Believe it or not, the company that made the original candles still has the original moulds, and if there's enough interest (as of this writing) they might supply a limited set of candles for the fans. Each set would contain the five candles as shown on the sleeve. Send an e-mail to deeppurplenet@yahoo.co.uk if you're interested! Burn was the very first studio album featuring the brand new line-up that we now refer to as being MK3. Especially the soulful voice of Glenn Hughes together with the charismatic appearance of David Coverdale introduced a distinctive new era for Purple. Although the title track most certainly is the kind of rocker authentic Purple diehards love to hear, the album included less hard rocking compositions most fans were expecting. However songs like "You Fool No One" and especially the bluesy "Mistreated" illustrate that there was enormous talent within the band ready to deliver timeless music for years to come. One of my all-time favourites however remains the instrumental "'A' 200" which is a real treat for ARP synth enthusiasts and yet another proof of Jon Lord's immense talents. Also in "Sail Away" the mighty ARP delivers the low sounding backbone. This revamped Burn edition especially lifts the bass sounds out of the mix much more distinctively than ever before. Rehearsal tapes from the Burn sessions were located, but sadly the quality was way too poor to include them as bonus material on this remastered edition. Instead a couple of tracks have been remixed, something that would originally have been supervised by Roger Glover but was taken over by Glenn Hughes due to lack of time from Roger. Although I don't really see the point in remixing what can be seen as authentic rock classics, maybe only "Coronorias Redig" can be seen as interesting and worthwhile. Originally issued as a rare B-side, this instrumental clearly contains ideas that would later surface as Blackmore's very own "Catch The Rainbow." You can clearly hear it concerns an authentic jam here, especially towards the improvised ending. As always with Purple re-issues, the liner notes are very detailed and of a very high quality, something the fans will most certainly enjoy. Collectors also note that a double vinyl edition of this remastered 30th anniversary edition will be made available.
