Wicked Ways Line up: Ritchie Blackmore – Guitar Joe Lynn Turner – Vocals Jon Lord – Organ, Keyboards Roger Glover – Bass Ian Paice – Drums Record Label / Year of Release: BMG (UK) / RCA (USA) 1990 Notes: Slaves and Masters is the thirteenth studio album by Deep Purple, and was released in 1990. This is the only album to feature singer Joe Lynn Turner, who had replaced Ian Gillan the previous year (and was once the lead singer of Ritchie Blackmore's post-Purple band Rainbow). However, Turner was still a member of the group when they began recording The Battle Rages On. In a 1993 interview, organist Jon Lord stated that the band's first choice for a lead vocalist to replace Gillan was Jimi Jamison of Survivor. Said Lord, "He was an enormous Deep Purple fan and he would happily have taken over the job. But at the time he was afraid of his managers. They didn't want him to leave the band and he didn't dare to get into a fight with them." Lord also felt that Turner, while he sang well, was not the right fit for Deep Purple. "He came and he sang like an angel. [But] Joe's vision on this band was not our vision. He wanted to make something out of the band which it couldn't be, and we wanted to change him into something which he couldn't be." Although the album didn't attract big enough media attention and was practically lost in the USA, the following 1991 European tour was a very big success musically and financially. The Mk V lineup has been occasionally praised for impressive concerts with varied setlists. In 2006 a remastered edition of the album was released in Japan as a vinyl replica CD. In addition to the tracks on Slaves and Masters, there were two other Mk V songs released in 1990-91. One was "Slow Down Sister", B-side of the "Love Conquers All" 12" and CD singles. The other was "Fire, Ice and Dynamite", an outtake adapted for the Fire, Ice and Dynamite action movie, in preference to a Harold Faltermeyer song which it was suggested they perform. The track was released on the CD of the movie soundtrack. Jon Lord does not appear on it, and the synthesizers were played by Roger Glover. "Slow Down Sister" has since been reissued on the Shades 1968–1998 box set. "Fire, Ice and Dynamite" was re-released on the New, Live & Rare DVD as a bonus feature. Re-issue in 2016 by Cherry Red Records with 3 bonus tracks: the single edits for ‘King Of Dreams’ and ‘Love Conquers All’, plus the non-album b-side ‘Slow Down Sister’.
