A double live CD of Deep Purple's orchestral concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall Sept. 25 and 26 will be released in the U.K. today by Eagle. "Deep Purple In Concert With The London Symphony Orchestra Conducted By Paul Mann" features classic Purple tracks, solo endeavors, and keyboard player Jon Lord's "Concerto For Group And Orchestra," which Deep Purple unveiled at the same venue almost 30 years to the day before last year's shows.
