Following the chart-topping success of their latest album “=1”, legendary rock band Deep Purple is set to delight fans once again with the release of their latest single, “Lazy Sod”, in two exclusive, limited edition physical formats.
Available as both a CD Maxi Single and 12″ LP, this exclusive collector’s item is limited to just 2,000 copies worldwide, making it an essential addition for dedicated fans and record collectors alike.
The new maxi-single offers three stunning tracks: The band’s latest single, “Lazy Sod”, is accompanied by two previously unreleased live recordings of the band’s iconic hits, “Highway Star” and “Lazy”, recorded during their 2022 tour – the first Deep Purple tour featuring new guitarist Simon McBride.
Clocking in at approximately 20 minutes, the new maxi-single captures the legendary classic Deep Purple sound in its purest form.
This latest release follows the sensational reception of Deep Purple’s album “=1”, which debuted at No. 1 on the Official German, Swedish, and Swiss Charts and reached the Top 10 in twenty countries. This marks Deep Purple’s fourth consecutive number 1 album, setting a record for the band.
Fans and collectors can pre-order the “Lazy Sod” CD Maxi Single and 12″ LP starting today, with both versions officially releasing on October 11th.
