Recorded as an intended Black Sabbath album or a Tony Iommi solo album, that's still in contention but these sessions stayed unreleased for a long time. Tony Iommi finally re-recorded most of it (keyboards & drums) for the DEP Sessions CD. Dave Holland's drum tracks were wiped because Iommi wanted to distance himself from Holland. Dave Holland (of Judas Priest) had been convicted of molesting a mentally challenged 17 year old boy in 2004. The boy had been taking drum lessons from Holland. Dave maintains he is innocent. Dave Holland was living in A Fonsagrada, Spain when he died January 16, 2018. It was later reported that he had died from lung cancer, Holland was 69. Additional keyboards were also added by Geoff Nichols & Mike Exeter before the official release.
This is the first in a couple Rosebud Picks in tribute to another favorite singer of hers Glenn Hughes. Like me Rosebud feels the Glenn Hughes-David Coverdale era of Deep Purple is very underrated by a lot of Rock & Rollers. Some Purple fans love Deep Purple MKIII some don't. Personally I am a fan of all Deep Purple line-ups but one. The line-up with Joe Lynn Turner, if Ritchie Blackmore wanted to make another Rainbow album he should have reformed that band. I'm not a big fan of Rainbow's Joe Lynn Turner era either but that's just my opinion (it's not that I hate it either just my least favorite I guess), Rosebud loves it (LOL).
