Think of great heavy rock bands and the name Deep Purple will either be the first or amongst the first that come to mind.
Their history is a glorious one and along with Led Zep, they dominated the heavy rock scene throughout the 1970s.
In Smoke On The Water', they have one of the most instantly recognised guitar riffs of all time and it is the riff most aspiring real guitar players and, air guitarists first get to grips with.
Deep Purple The Platinum Collection'(EMI) is a brand new 3CD set that gives you pretty much everything you want in the way of all things Deep Purple and we have five copies of the CD up for grabs this week.
To win one, just tell me the name of one of the singers who fronted the band over the years. Then send your answer with your name, address and daytime telephone number to Lancaster and Morecambe Citizen editor phil.fleming@lancaster.newsquest.co.uk
