Days May Come and Days May Go: The California Rehearsals, June 1975
Days May Come and Days May Go is an archive release from Deep Purple, put out by Purple Records on 14 March 2000. It gathers rehearsals and long improvised jams recorded in June 1975 at Robert Simon's Pirate Sound studios, taken from the sound desk. They were made soon after Tommy Bolin joined the band.
For anyone who loves Come Taste the Band, it is a chance to hear that record taking shape, with ideas and tracks that would end up on the album still being worked out. A second batch, 1420 Beachwood Drive: The California Rehearsals Pt. 2, was sold by mail order only. In 2007 the two were reissued together as a 2-CD set under the title Days May Come and Days May Go: The California Rehearsals.
