A 16mm print of the "Deep Purple Rises Over Japan" film has at last been secured. It was located in EMI's Dutch archive, thanks to the help of dpas member Tonny Steenhagen. Deep Purple (Overseas) will be having the footage transferred to a digital format as soon as practicable to ensure that the material is safely archived. It is the 25 minute edit of the December 15th 1975 show, which has been on pirate video for some time in poor quality.
No firm release plans yet but the footage is likely to form part of an upcoming Deep Purple DVD archive collection.
