Issued in a jewel case with 6-page foldout insert."Perfect Strangers" on CD is a landmark studio album by the legendary rock band Deep Purple, released by the renowned label Polydor. After a lengthy break, the album marked the reunion of the classic Mark II lineup and stands as one of the most significant comeback records in rock history. With its powerful mix of hard rock riffs, majestic organ lines and melodic songwriting, "Perfect Strangers" captures the band's mature sound while preserving the raw energy that made Deep Purple famous. The title track, with its dramatic arrangement and unforgettable chorus, has become a live staple, while songs like "Knocking at Your Back Door" showcase the band's ability to combine catchy hooks with virtuoso musicianship. The CD format presents the album in clear, dynamic sound quality, making it ideal both for rediscovering this milestone and for new listeners who want to explore classic rock at its finest.
Deep Purple, formed in the late 1960s, are pioneers of hard rock and early heavy metal and are widely regarded as one of the most influential bands in rock music. With iconic albums such as "In Rock", "Machine Head" and "Made in Japan", they helped define the sound of the genre. Classic songs like "Smoke on the Water", "Highway Star" and "Child in Time" have become anthems and secured the band's place in music history. Known for the interplay between heavy guitar riffs and Hammond organ, as well as powerful vocals and driving rhythm sections, Deep Purple have sold millions of records worldwide and inspired countless bands across generations. Their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame confirmed their status as rock icons, and "Perfect Strangers" is often hailed as one of the strongest late-career statements by any major rock act.
Polydor, the manufacturer and label of this CD, is one of the most established names in the music industry, with a long tradition of promoting influential and innovative artists. Over decades, Polydor has built a reputation for high production standards, careful catalog curation and a diverse roster that spans rock, pop, and many other genres.

HYUNG RAE K. - 05/Sep/2024  Perfect Strangers is the eleventh studio album by English rock band Deep Purple. 11 years on, the classic Mark II line-up reunited for this 1984 album, which made the Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic and spawned an enormously successful tour.
|  | | Eugene S. - 30/Aug/2024 The eleventh studio album by English rock band Deep Purple, released on 29 October 1984. The album was a commercial success, reaching #5 in the UK charts and #17 on the Billboard 200 in the US. I recommend.
| | | Alexander S. - 07/Aug/2019 Actually an example of first-class classic hard rock. The album is surprisingly easy to listen to, but at the same time it strikes the seriousness of the music and the professionalism of the musicians. The sound is great, the arrangements are beautiful. Blackmore's various solos deserve special mention, which sound “dirty” and a little unprocessed, but that’s all the charm of hard rock. Gillan's voice is still youthful, expressive and very soulful. No specific track can be singled out here, they are all just “embroidered in gold”. “Perfect Strangers” is an album that I would record in the classics of not only “dark purple” music, but also of hard rock in general. This is the music of people with vast experience in the musical field, with excellent mutual understanding and interaction, with the ability to spiritualize their work. All that you hear on this album is a hard rock encyclopedia. It is foolish to recommend; you need to hear this in order to develop your musical taste in the right direction, regardless of age, gender, and generally musical addiction; and to have this disc in your music collection is necessary for every bit of an intellectual person ...
| | Eduardo F. - 22/Jan/2018  Not as spetacular as the classic MK2 era, but a worthy entrance in their discography and a nice comeback.
| | | Ivica S. - 08/Oct/2017 The album that returned Deep Purple to the scene - praised, contested - today when we look: a great album both for the old and the time in front of us.
| |  Sargey B. - 06/Apr/2015 SUPER album from SUPER band! Comeback is very cool!
| |  Sebastian O. - 20/May/2015 El álbum que marcó el regreso del mítico Mark II de Deep Purple en 1984 con uun sonido más cercano al Heavy Metal. Esencial para toda colección de rock.
