DEEP PURPLE Richie Blackmore 1974 Poster 057

1974. Deep Purple are imploding in real time, Ritchie Blackmore is about to walk out and form Rainbow, and somehow they're still recording Stormbringer and playing shows that could strip paint. Classic rock doesn't get more volatile than this era.

Blackmore in '74 is a specific kind of icon, all fury and precision, the guitarist who basically invented the template that half of heavy metal would spend the next fifty years borrowing from. This is the Mark III lineup, the turbulent one, the one serious Purple fans argue about endlessly. If you know, you know. A photograph from this period belongs in any collection of genuine rock history, right next to your dark aesthetic and your vinyl stack.

Poster, 59cm wide x 84cm tall. Can be framed with a black matte wooden frame and professionally mounted on MDF, send us a message for details.
