Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Like the Litter, a grossly underrated band........2007-05-13

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."

4 out of 5 stars Roots of Deep Purple? Here it is!.......2007-04-03

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.
