Notes/Comments
Coverdale and Roger Glover teamed up with Playboy Playmate Barbie Benton and co-wrote a song called 'Up in the air' with her while working on Davids own soloalbum.
This album was produced by Glover, who also plays percussion on some tracks. Another buddy of Coverdale to appear on this album is Micky Moody, who co-wrote the track 'Close your eyes' and also contributes with most of the guitarplaying featured on the record.
David himself does not perform at all on this record, just credited for co-writing track 4.

This album has never been released on CD and may only be found in some second-hand record shops as a vinyl copy.

Special thanks to Michael Lund who provided me with the orginal sleeve and an mp3 sample of 'Up in the air'. Download it!

Reviews
There is not much Purple sound here, infact it sounds a lot as what Carpenters did in those years. The lyrics is a little to tame for me, but anyway - it have been great fun to track down this rare record.
I'm just a little confused why Roger claims it wasn't released back then, since I know I had a friend back then who also had the album.
