The former Deep Purple bassist Nick Simper's two long deleted Fandango albums are reissued here for the very first time. Taped in 1979 and 1980, both are no highly sought after albums. Future Times epecially so as it only received limited release first time around. The CD has been compiled with Nick Simper's help, and the fold out inlay details the history of the band in full. One track from each LP is omitted for timing reason. These will appear on a future RPM CD of Simper rarities from the '60s to the '80s.

This intriguing Angel Air release spotlights two albums produced in the wake of punk rock and seemingly destined to be overlooked in the history of heavy rock. Fandango developed out of that other seminal seventies heavy rock outfit, Warhorse. Nick Simper, original bassist for Deep Purple, joined with ex-Warhorse guitarist Peter Parks along with drummer Ron Penny and vocalist James Proops. Their first album, “Slipstreaming” was recorded and originally released on a small German label in 1979. The second album, “Future Times”, was recorded and released the following year with Mac Poole, former Warhorse drummer, replacing Penny. Now available for the first time on CD, this release includes two singles and bonus tracks never before available on CD. As ever, this package is completed by comprehensive liner notes and band photographs. The album is a must for any fan of British Rock and a real gem for any collector of Deep Purple related items.
