New releases this week: Progressive Rock

Review: Previously only available across scattered formats, this compilation pulls together B-sides and bonus material from Deep Purple's 2013 sessions, pressed to vinyl for the first time. 'Hell to Pay (Radio Edit)' kicks things off with a focused jolt of energy, trimmed but still packing that familiar weight. 'It'll Be Me' dives into straight-ahead rock'n'roll, while the alternative mix of 'All the Time in the World' leans more wistful, swapping polish for immediacy. Instrumental takes of 'Uncommon Man' and 'Apres Vous' highlight the band's musicianship with renewed clarityiespecially Don Airey's organ flourishes and Steve Morse's precise guitar work. The live 'Green Onions / Hush' medley, recorded in Gavle, rounds things off with a punchy, well-oiled performance. Maybe not quite as legendary as their highest peaks, tt's nevertheless a window into the band's creative overflow: muscular, melodic and still sounding sharp.
