Release Date: August 29, 2025

When ‘Rapture of the Deep’ was first released in 2005, it felt like the start of something new. Twenty years on, it’s clear that it was – a crucial chapter in Deep Purple’s journey.
It’s no secret that ‘Rapture of the Deep’ isn’t the first album that comes to mind when listing Deep Purple’s classics. But it’s equally true that this record – and the story behind it – played a key role in shaping the band we know today.

New liner notes by Classic Rock’s Geoff Barton pull back the curtain on a time when Deep Purple were without a label, without a safety net – navigating an uncertain era of the music industry that saw the downfall of many once-great artist careers – and unravel the chemistry that gave birth to Deep Purple’s 18th studio album.

Now, newly mixed with the supervision of Roger Glover, analogue mastered at renown Chameleon Studios in Hamburg, and presented with bold new artwork, ‘Rapture of the Deep’ finally shines with clarity and colour. The band themselves now refer to it as a new album. Fans will hear it blooming for the first time.

Listening to the album now, with the fresh sound, makes you realize that if you thought this was a small release in the band’s rich discography, maybe it’s time to reconsider. 
With Deep Purple riding high on the success of their latest No. 1 record ‘=1’, the time is right to (re)discover the album that set the path for Deep Purple’s identity in the 21st century.

Hardy the poet
Format: Paperback
We all know Hardy the novelist, but perhaps he is less well known as a poet. In this volume of over 900 pages, with nearly 1,000 poems, Hardy is colorful, chatty, direct, lyrical, thoughtful, deep. And perhaps his finest quality - at least so I find - is the fact that he is down-to-earth. His poems are not "difficult" for a reasonably literate, experienced reader; and the rhyming is never forced. In short, his poems are a delight.

The other side of one of the giants of the Victorian era.
Format: Paperback
Thomas Hardy is my favorite novelist who has ever lived. I preface the review of this poetry anthology - which includes every one of the 900+ poems he wrote throughout his life, from the 1860s to just before his death in 1928 - in this way because I’m a bit biased. Hardy’s poetry is technically satisfying and nearly as moving as his novels, and you can tell that the same precision he brought to prose is on full display in his verse. I’m working my way through every single poem in this collection, and thus far my favorites are “The Convergence of the Twain” and “After the Last Breath.” There are other poets whose works I like better (Dickinson, Yeats, Wordsworth, and Whitman come to mind), but as an amateur Hardy scholar, reading this collection is positively invaluable to understand the full depth of his genius, and as always Wordsworth Classics delivers in terms of a quality paperback that should withstand years of enjoyment. I own many of their releases and have yet to find one that even slightly disappoints.
