Legendary

Among my first heroes, Deep Purple Mark II.

Left to right: Roger Glover – bass, Ritchie Blackmore – guitar, Ian Gillian – vocals, Jon Lord – Hammond B3 organ, Ian Paice – drums.

Lyrics set in Helvetica, of course – the most Swiss typeface ever. I always found it fascinating that the story told are all events that happened.
