On April 4th, some of the best-loved musicians in the world assembled at the Royal Albert Hall to pay tribute to one of the most-missed musicians of them all: Jon Lord. Celebrating Jon Lord is available now as 1CD – The Composer, 2CD – The Rock Legend, 2DVD, Blu-ray, Box Set and Download, via earMUSIC. All product configurations feature individual cover artworks.

Footage of DEEP PURPLE performing 'Uncommon Man' from the release can be seen below:

 

The Box Set features – besides the Blu-ray, 1CD The Composer and 2CD The Rock Legend – an exclusive T-shirt, a two-sided reproduction of an excerpt of Jon Lord’s original, handwritten music score for “Sarabande” - signed by Paul Mann as well as a 20 page reproduction of the evening’s original show program.

On top and as a real collector’s item, the box set also includes two very special 7” LPs: the first featuring the hypnotic live version of Deep Purple’s classic “You Keep On Moving” with Glenn Hughes, Bruce Dickinson, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Micky Moody and on the B-side “Soldier Of Fortune”, both taken from the 2CD – The Rock Legend.

The second 7” vinyl stands in the tradition of Deep Purple as it includes the band’s touching live version of “Above And Beyond” originally from the #1 album NOW What?! and here included in the magic Sunflower Jam 2014 live performance – a song dedicated to and inspired by Jon Lord. The B-side is dedicated to Lord‘s “Fantasia”.
