After the acclaimed release of “7 And 7 Is”, the first song revealed from their upcoming album “Turning To Crime”, Deep Purple release their brand new single “Oh Well” today.
“Oh Well” is a song originally written and recorded by Fleetwood Mac. It is accompanied by a music video that shows Deep Purple on a very special mission.
“Everyone knows ‘Oh Well’ is a great song,” Roger Glover says. “Steve did the demo for that one. You never quite know where it‘s gonna go with Steve because he is very inventive. Right up until the point, with a couple of verses in, it was pretty much the same as the original. And then, all of a sudden, it took off like a rocket… in some other space.”
“Turning to Crime” is the first studio album by Deep Purple entirely made of songs not written by the band and previously recorded by other artists. It is produced by Bob Ezrin and will be released on earMUSIC on November 26, 2021.

With a phenomenal extended improv ending giving it all the antics of a true rock band - trashing the equipment and leaving the stage in a cacophony of noise - rock n roll!
Ian Gillan spoke to Melody maker at that time "The Southbank thing was great, we got top billing above Blue Mink and the Settlers. The other groups played to back tracks, but we took all our gear and played live. Of course, as usual, the audience was made up of a lot of older people. Anyway we played "Child in Time", which is a pretty quiet one for us. It was funny - when we finished we said we were going to do a loud one, and half the audience walked out. Still, we were pleased to do it, the producer, Brian Izzard, gave us a lot of freedom and a half hour set. We didn't give a monkey about the people who walked out."
