Discography[edit]

The Concerto for Group and Orchestra is mentioned in the article, but not the discography. Is there a sound reason for this omission?

Source for Origin of Deep Purple confirmation[edit]

I have found what I would consider to be a reliable source with regards to the place of origin of the band we know as Deep Purple. This outdates the Hertford sources, and is also published in books: https://www.classicrockforever.com/story-ritchieblackmoremeetsjonlord.html The origin of Deep Purple started in Chris Curtis's flat (also shared by Jon Lord) in 1967 when Roundabout was conceived. Later, Blackmore arrived at the flat after a request by Curtis to join his new venture. The name Deep Purple was actually adopted in Denmark, after several other name ideas were rejected. Please have a read of the linked article for clarification. An IP non-registered user keeps changing the edited origin with citation to suggest they came from Hertford, whilst using a source from the Hertfordshire Mercury paper that has quite obviously taken information direct from the Wikipedia article. So again, if the IP user wishes to prove the band started in Hertford, please join this discussion and state your case that suggests otherwise. All book sources confirm what i have linked and added to cite the origin. I will again further point out that Hertford (county town of Hertfordshire) is not the location of Deeves Hall where MK1 line-up came together to rehearse. The location of Deeves Hall is in South Mimms - 15 miles from Hertford. Finally, I'd point out that In Jerry Bloom's book: Deep Purple - A Matter of Fact, points out the band forming in Hertford is an urban myth started on the internet, and there is not truth in this. The location of London as place of origin is apt as the genesis of Purple started in Kensington & Chelsea in 1967. Please can the IP address editor red this information, reference other books etc instead of continuing to edit the origin as Hertford with a bogus 'woozle effect' source.

@Goom80 I suggest you get a life 92.14.9.24 (talk) 00:18, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Goom80 I apologise for that last comment, I don't know why I said that. I think I've gotten mixed up with the South Mimms thing, which is indeed in Hertfordshire, from what I've read elsewhere they rehearsed there? Which is maybe worth a mention? 92.14.9.24 (talk) 01:05, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the first comment, although i accept your apology. This is not about proving you wrong, but as the source suggests, see link, the genesis starts in 1967 in Lord's flat in Kensington. There are plenty of other references from the books. Deep Purple Fan (talk) 01:19, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
