Deep Purple mark 1,originally started out in 1968,and went on to have more than four different line ups. And gradually filtered through the hard rock family tree,Rainbow mark 1.Originally consisted of Ritchie Blackmore,Ronnie james Dio,Gary Driscoll,Mickey Lee Soule and Craig Gruber.This is the original 1975 line up,which changed no less than eight times up to April 1984.
The trouble was apparently Blackmore (lead guitar) and Dio (vocalist) never really got on.It seemed to be battle of the ego's between the two of them,or handbags at dawn really. So that is a brief history,now onto the album!
