CD Reviews
Like the Litter, a grossly underrated band.

"This double CD set is a testamony of how a band like Deep Purple soared to the top by adding two members of Episode Six. Episode Six has the beautiful harmonies of the likes of the Mamas & the Papas, Peanut Butter Conspiracy, However with a "Bareknuckle barroom brawling attitude.""
Roots of Deep Purple? Here it is!

"Years ago I bought "The Complete Episode Six" in order to hear the early years of Ian Gillan. That album is a collection of all the band's polished, released-for-the-market singles and has a very British 60s pop sound. Gillan's voice is mellow and silky throughout with the exception of the scream on Mozart vs. the Rest and his shaky rough vocals on Mr. Universe. How did he get to the powerhouse vocals of Deep Purple in Rock?
Well, the answers are here on this double CD covering demos and live appearances of Episode Six. While the pop sounds are still heard throughout this collection, a surprising heavier rock sound can be heard on several tracks. By the time Mick Underwood took over the drum seat in '69, the band was cleary going towards the crunchy hard rock sound that would figure on early DP albums. I Am a Cloud and the medly of Satisfaction and Paint It Black feature some pretty heavy music both with respect to guitar sound and vocals. Ian Gillan's rough macho vocals and trademark scream can be heard on a number of tracks. Particularly interesting is the Shiela Carter sung track Something's Got a Hold of My Heart. It is haunting and heavy musically with Roger Glover's bass sounding chunky like on In Rock and Fireball. But better yet is a sampling of the vocal style Gillan would use on Child In Time. Though he sings backing vocals his high octave wails stand out clearly.
While the album is an excellent collection of a wide variety of material from a band that was not afraid to experiment, its major disappointment factor is the sound quality of most of the tracks. Since they are mostly demos and recordings of live TV and radio performances, the sound is muddy and often very lo-fi. This is a shame since some of those tracks, had they been polished of properly, could have been powerful rock tunes of the late 60s. Had this band finally made an album of their later material it would certainly have figured into hard rock history."
