Deep Purple – Days May Come Days May Go
Deep Purple recorded “Days May Come Days May Go” in 1975 at a very interesting time in their career. But they didn’t release it until 2000. “Days May Come, Days May Go” is certainly worth bending an ear to. Just to see what could have been.

Slade – Slade Alive

Aerosmith – Nine Lives
