The title is a humorous reference to Gillan's notorious reticence to pay any attention to his own or DEEP PURPLE live releases (as he explains in the album liner notes). DEEP PURPLE material (including rarities like "Razzle Dazzle" or "Anya") went hand in hand with Gillan solo songs and surprises for those into the deepest catalog. Gillan decided to recruit the DON AIREY BAND, which features the guitar talent of Simon McBride.Īll shows were truly unique, with Airey and McBride delivering perfect performances night after night. Still fresh from the success of the studio album "NOW What?!", and just a few months before the release of the latest and equally successful album "inFinite", Ian Gillan accepted the offer to tour for a month in Eastern Europe with a full rock show, accompanied every night by a different local orchestra. "Contractual Obligation" is a collection of performances during a recent tour through Eastern Europe, which contains three shows which will be released on different formats via earMUSIC on July 26. Despite his commitment to DEEP PURPLE, the singer has built an impressive solo career. Vocalist Ian Gillan, together with Robert Plant, Ozzy Osbourne and a few others, is considered one of the legendary voices that shaped hard rock.
