Deep Purple survived a seemingly endless series of lineup changes and a dramatic mid-career shift from grandiose progressive rock to ear-shattering heavy metal to emerge as a true institution of the British hard rock community. Once credited in The Guinness Book of World Records as the globe's loudest band, their revolving-door roster launched the careers of performers including Ritchie Blackmore, David Coverdale, and Ian Gillan.
Deep Purple were formed in Hertford, England, in 1968, with an inaugural lineup that featured guitarist Blackmore , vocalist Rod Evans , bassist Nick Simper , keyboardist Jon Lord , and drummer Ian Paice . Initially dubbed Roundabout , the group was first assembled as a session band for ex-Searchers drummer Chris Curtis but quickly went their own way, touring Scandinavia before beginning work on their debut LP, Shades of Deep Purple . The most pop-oriented release of their career, the album generated a Top Five American hit with its reading of Joe South 's "Hush" but otherwise went unnoticed at home. The band came out to see us in Luxembourg on a couple of occasions, once to blow the roof off THE BLOW UP club. There was, at the time, nothing like them.
