Deepest Purple: The Very Best of Deep Purple is a compilation album by the English hard rock band Deep Purple, released in 1980 on LP. It features the original hits of Deep Purple before their 1984 reunion. Aided by a TV advertising campaign it would become Purple's third UK No. 1 album. In 1984 this compilation additionally was published on CD. Being a 60+ minute vinyl LP, Warner Brothers Records lowered the volume considerably, as well as altering the EQ on all tracks to fit both sides equally. This album marked the first time "Demon's Eye" was released in North America, having been replaced by "Strange Kind of Woman" on the North American release of Fireball. All songs from this album, along with several others added, appeared on the 1998 UK album 30: Very Best of Deep Purple, released by EMI, and the 2000 US album The Very Best of Deep Purple, released by Rhino. In 2010 a 30th Anniversary Edition of this compilation was released. It contains four additional tracks, two of them from the Mark I & IV eras, plus a bonus DVD containing previously unreleased video footage and an exclusive track-by-track commentary from founding member Jon Lord.
