DEEP PURPLE – Clearly Quite Absurd [20th Anniversary Remix] (2025) *HQ*

320_1 /// HQ

As part of the upcoming ‘Rapture Of The Deep – 20th Anniversary Remix’, DEEP PURPLE release today a newly mixed and remastered version of the album’s original single ”Clearly Quite Absurd”, accompanied by ‘Junkyard Blues (20th Anniversary Remix)’, and a previously unreleased instrumental studio jam of the song ‘MTV’.
Roger Glover recalls in 2025: “’Clearly Quite Absurd’ is a very unusual Deep Purple song, which I like. We’ve always liked being unusual. We don’t follow traditions, really. We are just who we are at a specific time.”
Regarding the B-side, ‘MTV (2005 Studio Jam)’, is a previously unheard instrumental take from an early session – with Don Airey, Steve Morse, Roger Glover and Ian Paice running through a track that later appeared as a bonus on select editions of Rapture Of The Deep.
The release is a preview of the ‘Rapture Of The Deep – 20th Anniversary Remix’ [out worldwide on August 29], which includes a brand-new mix of the full album, revised artwork, and a bonus disc with rare studio sessions and instrumental jams.
