Deep Purple collection A Fire In The Sky announced

A new Deep Purple career-spanning compilation is set for release next month.

Titled Fire In The Sky, it’ll arrive on November 3 on CD, 3CD and 3LP.

Each version features a selection of tracks from the 19 studio albums Deep Purple recorded between 1968 and 2013.

The single CD edition largely focuses on the band’s singles and includes Highway Star and Smoke On The Water, which was recently voted the the Greatest Guitar Riff Ever on World Guitar Day.

The 3CD version delves deeper into Purple’s past and covers 40 songs, including at least one track from every studio album through 2013’s Now What?!, while the triple album boasts 27 tracks from the band’s back catalogue.

A Fire In The Sky is now available for pre-order.

Deep Purple recently announced that they’d release a limited edition gold version of their latest studio album InFinite on November 3, which includes the previously unreleased live set recorded at this year’s Hellfest.

They’ll hit the road across the UK in November on The Long Goodbye tour.
