The recently released 35th Anniversary remaster of Deep Purple’s “Stormbringer” has entered straight in at No. 2 on the UK’s BBC rock chart
Now we know Glenn did an awesome job on the remixes, so hopefully that had something to do with it Congratulations to Simon Robinson and everyone at DPAS, they did a fantastic job on this one.
Glenn received the “International Artist of the Year” award last week at the Zebrik Report Music Awards in Plzen, Czech Republic.
Glenn commented, “It was a great moment for me. I dedicate it to all my fans.”

A rare video featuring both Glenn and Pat Thrall has surfaced on YouTube recently. Taken from the 1987 movie, “Dragnet“, featuring Tom Hanks and Dan Ackroyd.
Glenn and Pat first appear at the 1:02 minute mark as two of three “pagans” interrogated by Dan and Tom!
Enjoy!
This week sees the long awaited release of Deep Purple’s 1974 epic, Stormbringer, freshly remastered with bonus tracks including remixes completed by Glenn during his visit to Abbey Road Studios back in 2006!
“Holy Man“, “You Can’t Do It Right“, “Love Don’t Mean A Thing” and “Hold On” all received the Glenn Hughes treatment!
You can listen to a rare interview with Jon Lord and Glenn from 1974 during a USA promotional blitz soon after Stormbringer was released:
http://www.glennhughes.com/superrockspecial.html
Stormbringer features the MK III Deep Purple line-up of David Coverdale (vocals), Glenn Hughes (vocals and bass), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Ian Paice (drums) and Jon Lord (keyboards).
Recorded in Musicland Studios, Munich and released in 1974, Stormbringer is the Deep Purple album that often doesn‚t sound like a Deep Purple album. Although considered proponents of the hard rock genre, as hinted at on previous album, Burn, Stormbringer saw the band create a more funk and soul-influenced sound.
Owing to the direction of Stormbringer, it was to be Blackmore‚s last studio album with the MK III line-up. He left to form Rainbow, making way for the MK IV version of Deep Purple, with American Tommy Bolin on guitar.
