Who Do We Think We Are [Remastered] - Deep Purple

Advantages: Woman From Tokyo
Disadvantages: All downhill for the band after this release

...This album, the fifth from Deep Purple Mark II, (Ian Gillan / Ritchie Blackmore / Jon Lord / Roger Glover / Ian Paice) seems to be something of a curio's egg these days - Rock Fans Of A Certain Age will all remember Child In Time, Speed King, Smoke On The Water and Lazy, but who remembers any of the tunes on here? Apart from the one about that sweet lady from the capital of Japan? Understandable maybe, because after all we are talking about a band that had sired the great albums In Rock, Machine Head, Fireball and the live Made In Japan, so perhaps this was bound to be a little overlooked, much in the same way as, well, Radioheads "Hail To The Thief", good as it is, will not be mentioned in the same breath as "Kid A" or "OK Computer" will it?

Advantages: A book with its heart in the right place

Advantages: Inspires a new thought process, affordable pricing
Disadvantages: none

...?Change the World for a Fiver? is a book published by the Community Links Charity ?We are What we Do? (www.wearewhatwedo.org). The book was published during 2004, and is attractive to the eye with its colourful dust jacket, which folds out to be a small poster highlighting some of the ideas contained within the book. It is no surprise that the book itself is therefore priced at just £5, and makes an affordable gift for a friend or relative, and one whose value carries far beyond. The concept behind the community wearewhatwedo is frighteningly simple. We live in a materialistic age, and we spend more and more money and own more things than ever before. Yet we are in general unhappy with our lot, with many of us experiencing some kind of poverty, in that despite material possessions are lives might just be missing something... Read review
