Listen, Learn, Read On is a box set released by the British hard rock band Deep Purple in 2002.

It is a collection of 74 tracks distributed over six CDs, around a quarter of which were unreleased

prior to the album; all the tracks were subject to extensive re-mastering at EMI's Abbey Road

Studios.

The set starts with a selection of early tracks by the members of the band before they joined Deep

Purple.

The box set also houses a format book (not included in the torrent) written by Deep Purple archivist

Simon Robinson, which tells the band's story via 120 pages of text, pictures, cuttings, memorabilia,

musician profiles and discographies.

Listen, Learn, Read On has been deleted from EMI's catalogue and is no longer in production.


Dave Thompson of AllMusic wrote:

Amid the ever-growing tide of Deep Purple box sets (this was at least their eighth in nine years),

Listen Learn Read On stands alone, not only as the ultimate round-up of the band's greatest moments,

but also as the answer to more collectors' dreams than most collectors were even aware they'd had. You

want Deep Purple's long-legendary, but forever unavailable BBC sessions? They're here. You want the

killer live encores that other albums omitted? They're here. You want a solid introduction to the band

members' pre-Purple passages? They're here. And, of course, you want the hits.

This monster set is certainly the most luxurious collection on the band ever issued, and was twice

runner up in 'best box set' category in Record Collector's annual poll.


Note:

I got this box from OiNK in 2006 without art. Found bits and pieces of the artwork around the net,

which is included. The backs and inlays were done by myself. Also included is the original rip

raport.

Enjoy!
