Roger a couple of questions further to my first one.

1)Are you going to take care of the production of the rereleasing of the Burn and Storbringer albums that you were not part of the original recording team?
You worked with David Coverdale in the past
and I still like your work then.

2)Is there a chance that with Steve Morse growing on the old stuff while he was young , the band will include some Coverdale or Tommy bolin stuff to the repertuar of the live act songs?

Dear Roger,

You were in production for a large period of time and if I remember correctly you have produced albums for Nazarath, Judas priest and Rainbow among other artists. My question to you is what do you think makes DP stand out amongst these other good bands and why does the band have such a large international following ( I am from India and have been a fan of the band since ’82 )

Regards,

Raj

Why Deep Purple nicknamed Martin Birch as “The Wasp”?

Hi Roger,

While you’re recording in L.A., would it be possible to stop by and say “Hi”. I promise not to bring 100s of records along to be signed 😉

Also, are you planning any ‘secret’ club gigs while you’re here? If so, I’d be forever in your debt if you could let me know.

Thanks!
Phil

I have played bass for some 25 years now, and you have always been one of my major influences. Thanks much for the enjoyable listening!

One question, concerning “No One Came” (my very favorite DP song): Did you write the lyric or did Ian? It is one of the best rock lyrics ever written. As you might imagine, as I’ve been playing for 25 years and you’ve never heard of me, I identify a bit with some of those sentiments 🙂
