The live album "QUEBEC 1972 feat. RANDY CALIFORNIA" of "Purple with Randy California" has finally been discovered. This is a historical decision board that reveals the last phantom lineup that remained in DEEP PURPLE history. However, since Randy California, the main character, has no contact with the subsequent Purple Family, many people may wonder, ``Who is he?'' ``What kind of guitarist is he?'' Therefore, we will also be releasing a super high-quality video of Randy's professional band "SPIRIT" that made him famous at the same time! This work was filmed at “Essen performance on April 5, 1978.” This is a multi-camera professional shot taken when he appeared on West Germany's famous program "ROCKPALAST". This video is truly a symbol of SPIRIT. It is a professional shot that has served as an ``official substitute'' for many years for those who did not leave any official video work during their active days. In fact, the quality is absolutely perfect. It is a program that has left behind many famous videos of artists, but the quality of this work is exceptional even in its ROCKPALAST collection. Even in today's digital age, it's super clear and the sound and mix are perfect. It is a perfect official masterpiece. The legendary band's live performance depicted with such quality is truly the essence of rock. This release is for the purpose of getting to know Randy California, so here is a brief biography. In the first place, Randy California (real name: Randy Craig Wolfe) was a prodigy guitarist who was discovered by Jimi Hendrix (Jimmy James at the time) when he was 15 years old, and he co-starred with JIMMY JAMES AND THE BLUE FLAMES (Jimmy (referred to his bandmates Randy Palmer as "Randy Texas" and Randy Wolfe as "Randy California"). After that, when Jimi went to England, he tried to take him with him, but it didn't work out, so Randy formed "SPIRIT" with his father-in-law, Ed Cassidy. It would be impossible to explain their history, which includes many changes in members, but roughly speaking, it can be summarized as "1st period: 1967-1972," "2nd period: 1974-1979," and "3rd period: 1982-1997." Feeling. This work was filmed in 1978, after the release of the final work of the "second period", "FUTURE GAMES". A trio consisting of the core Randy and Ed Cassidy with Larry Knight added. While adopting a hard rock style, they embodied the American rock of the late 1960s, and were exploding as followers of Jimi Hendrix. And the rock that comes out of this work is an ideal summary of the 70's. Speaking of 1978, it was the time when the traditional official live album “LIVE” was released, and this work can be said to be an expanded version of that video version. This is also a good opportunity to organize the sets while comparing them.・THE FAMILY THAT PLAYS TOGETHER：It's All The Same／I Got A Line On You・TWELVE DREAMS OF DR.

In addition to early original songs, it incorporates Jimi's repertoire and also utilizes equipment such as Ampeg and Marshall stacks and vintage Radic. Furthermore, even the members' fashions have a 60s style. At that time, the 1980s were just around the corner, but it had nothing to do with Randy, who survived "that era." His commitment emanates from both the sound and the images. You can also see the influence of Jimi in Randy's appearance. Cassidy and Larry have simple styles that are very reminiscent of 1978, but Randy, who plays the leading role, has a lame, psychedelic style that is a bit dated. He also stood on the DEEP PURPLE stage as a substitute for Ritchie Blackmore, but his playing and performance may have been in a world closer to Robin Trower or Frank Marino. The highlight of this work is the last song, “If I Miss This Train.” Dickie Betts of THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND jumps in with a gold top and develops an 18-minute jam session. Randy California was a rare and famous guitarist. Now that DEEP PURPLE's "QUEBEC 1972 feat. RANDY CALIFORNIA" has been discovered, I would like you to experience his true side. This work is the best textbook for that. Of course, even if it is not related to DEEP PURPLE, it is a record full of psych rock from the man who led the gorgeous 60's and survived the colorful 70's.
