Lazy Sod

Deep Purple stand tall as one of the most cherished rock bands of all time, with over 120 million records sold worldwide. Albums like In Rock, Machine Head, and Made in Japan are essential chapters in rock music history. This summer (of 2024), the Deep Purple story has been enriched with yet another significant chapter: the new album “=1” was released to widespread acclaim from both fans and media alike. “Their finest moment this century” Classic Rock UK “Another excellent piece of work” Powerplay UK

“=1” debuted at number one on the charts in three countries, making it the fourth consecutive studio album to achieve this feat—following Whoosh! (2020), inFinite (2017), and NOW What?! (2013), this marks a record in the band’s over 50-year career. From the new album “=1”, comes this special collector’s item CD and 12” single, “Lazy Sod”. The accompanying music video for “Lazy Sod” has already garnered millions of views. The B-side is equally impressive, featuring the Machine Head classics “Highway Star” and “Lazy”, recorded live during Deep Purple’s last tour in 2022, and totalling 15 minutes in length—Deep Purple in their element, the way fans have loved the band ever since!
