Very disappointing

"I heard Deep Purple for the first time back in 1973 or so, when I was 12 and an older cousin got a bootleg eight-track of "Fireball." I've loved the band ever since. So this CD was a big disappointment. The vocals are shrill, the performances are phoned in, and the overall production is muddy and unsatisfying. I listened to this CD all the way through once, really trying to force myself to like it. No use. This CD is one to avoid."

"This cd has some cool stuff, but their version of Smoke on the water sounds like some drunks in a local bar band, around three am.... I saw this line up in the 70's, and it sounds about right, as far as a recall."
