About Stockholm 1970
Triple vinyl LP pressing of this live release from the celebrated MKII line up. In June '70, just five months prior to the recording of this incendiary Scandi-performance, Purple had unleashed IN ROCK, the album that both created and defined heavy Rock. For Purple, IN ROCK was the ultimate statement of intent. In Rock was the turning point in the band's career. So to the Swedish capital of Stockholm on November 12, '70. Here, at the Konserthuset venue, riding high on in Rock's success, Purple had one simple, single-minded aim: To stretch the infant heavy rock genre to breaking point. With no borders, no boundaries, unburdened by gimmickry or heritage, on this live recording Purple simply erupt. There's an endearing naiveté to Purple's performance, too. A sense that, in unleashing the beast, the band didn't quite know how savage and dangerous this feral being would become.
