Deep Purple Record Withdrawn

I couldn't imagine having two Deep Purple posts on the same day, but there is an update. Sony has pulled the record. It seems the band's "marketing plan" may have worked.

Actually, turns out that singer Ian Gillan, according to Reuters, says the record was released without his permission. "We've withdrawn that album and tried to find out how a member of the band was not aware of its release," a label spokesman said. Sony had distributed around 2,000 copies several weeks ago. Not exactly big numbers, but this isn't 1975 either.
