Deep Purple came from an idea exotic. In the country that spawned The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and has revealed the title of the god Eric Clapton, everyone was waiting for the next big idea in the fertile field of rock. In 1967, Chris Curtis, a former drummer for The Searchers, had the idea to collect exotic very talented musicians in a group called Roundabout (Roundabout). They would take turns around the drummer, like a carousel. Once the idea was bought by producer Tony Edwards, the first musician to come across the idea was keyboardist Jon Lord, a colleague of Curtis with The Flowerpot Men, where he also played the bassist Nick Simper.
