For some reason, "Slow Train" is blocked in the USA, but "Freedom" isn't... go figure...

^^^ Awesome little tune! Has some of that original band (Rod and Nicky) vibe to it.

^^^ Purple sure had a wealth of material for these to just end up as bonus tracks! Not to mention all the road work they did in them days and still put out an album every year (sometimes two!), it's no wonder they got burnt out.

Here's a good one too:

Yeah they sure were productive back then. 4 albums in three years and couple of singles and bunch of b-sides and whatnot.

One from the CTTB sessions, has only a short backing vocal track, the rest is a great instrumental jam. If the band had lasted to another album, maybe it would have been a track on that one...

It's got room for a guitar solo, if you want to lay one on top of it, Axe...  :guitar: :jimi: :metal1:
