Compilation album by Deep Purple originally released on Purple Records is the collection of some of the band's biggest hits.
It's hard to argue with the selection of songs here, but the inclusion of 4 live versions seem a bit odd and all of these are included on the Made in Japan live album, which makes it even stranger.
