Deep Purple ) Slaves and Masters ) 1990 (35th Anniversary Numbered Blue/Purple Translucent Marbled Vinyl RCA/Music On Vinyl Netherlands 2025)

You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Slaves and Masters is the 13th studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, and was released on 22 October 1990. This is the only Deep Purple album to feature former Rainbow lead vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, who had joined the previous year after the firing of Ian Gillan.
Following its release, Slaves and Masters peaked at No. 87 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album dramatically sold below expectations, as compared to Deep Purple's previous album, The House of Blue Light with Gillan, which charted at No. 34 in the US.
Despite underwhelming album sales, Deep Purple had a relatively successful tour in support of Slaves and Masters in 1991, especially for the band's European leg. Turner was still a member of the group when they began writing and recording their next album in 1992, but under duress from managers who were eyeing a 25th anniversary tour, Deep Purple ultimately decided to bring back the Mark II line-up for their 1993 studio album The Battle Rages On... A handful of working tracks originally intended for the follow-up to Slaves and Masters would turn up on subsequent solo releases by Turner.
