Come Taste the Band

About Come Taste the Band

Come Taste The Band is the tenth studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, originally released in October 1975. It was co-produced and engineered by the band and longtime associate Martin Birch. It was the final Deep Purple studio record prior to the band's initial disbandment in 1976, therefore making it the only album to feature Tommy Bolin, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, and the final of three albums to feature David Coverdale on lead vocals and Glenn Hughes on bass, as none of the three would be involved with the reactivated Deep Purple in 1984. It is also notable for being the only Deep Purple studio album where Blackmore and vocalist Ian Gillan are both absent from the lineup (with every prior and subsequent album featuring at least one of the two). more »
