A new compilation featuring the work of Ian Gillan will be released on November 17.

Titled The Voice Of Deep Purple: The Gillan Years, the collection will span three CDs and feature The Ian Gillan Band’s 1977’s Scarabus, along with Gillan’s 1988 record Accidentally On Purpose and 1990’s Naked Thunder.

Along with the three albums, five bonus tracks will also be included: Smoke On The Water, Black Night, Restless, Child In Time and Woman From Tokyo. An interview with the vocalist during Gillan’s Japanese tour will also feature.

Find the cover art and full tracklist below.

Deep Purple will 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 then hit the road across the UK in November on The Long Goodbye tour.
