Perks & Tit was recorded at the San Diego Sports Arena, April 9th 1974, the last date of the intense five week American "Burn" tour - & just three days after the infamous California Jam. Being the final show, the band let their hair down somewhat & Blackmore in particular was in devastating form. Sonic Zoom have been back to the original source of the tape thought to have been used for the first vinyl bootleg of this show, the strangely titled "Perks & Tit", which appeared on the Kornyphone label back in the mid 70s (& which has been copied for most subsequent bootleg issues of this material). Apparently the second half of the show was lost, but Sonic Zoom have been able to restore the between song patter (including a comment from Glenn that it"s nice to be doing a show without having to worry about being recorded!), the hard to find "Smoke" & a five minute keyboard solo. The material has been subject to the usual restoration & remastering work to get the best possible sound out of the source material. The set uses the original bootleg album artwork & the digipak includes an 8 page descriptive booklet. "Mistreated" from this gig appeared on the EMI box set so people have a good idea of the sheer power & quality of the performance. Purple Records. 2003.
