EP
Time for Bedlam
Time for Bedlam is a Deep Purple EP, released on 3 February 2017 through earMUSIC. It is a short release, and it arrived ahead of the band's studio album Infinite, which came out later the same year.
It sits late in a long career that began with Shades of Deep Purple in 1968 and took in the heavyweight run from Deep Purple in Rock to Machine Head in the early 1970s, the Perfect Strangers reunion in 1984 and a steady stream of records since. Coming after Now What?! in 2013, it gives fans a first taste of where the band were heading next.
