''Slaves and Masters'' is the thirteenth studio album by Deep Purple, and was released on 5 October 1990.〔Amazon.com〕 This is the only Deep Purple album to feature former Rainbow lead vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, who joined the previous year. Before hiring Turner, the band had considered singer Jimi Jamison of Survivor, but other obligations made him unavailable.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Jon Lord Fan Site – Pictured Within )〕 Following its release, ''Slaves and Masters'' peaked at No. 87 on the ''Billboard'' 200. The album dramatically sold below expectations, as compared to Deep Purple's previous album, ''The House of Blue Light'' with vocalist Ian Gillan, which charted at No. 34. Fans of Deep Purple's earlier efforts thought the vocal parts ended up being too melodic. Despite underwhelming album sales, Deep Purple had a relatively successful tour in support of ''Slaves and Masters'' in 1991, especially for the band's European leg. Turner was still a member of the group when they began recording their next album in 1992, but under duress from management, Deep Purple ultimately decided to bring back Ian Gillan to the line-up for their 1993 studio album ''The Battle Rages On...'' A handful of working tracks originally intended for the follow-up to Slaves and Masters would turn up on subsequent solo releases by Turner. ==Subsequent releases== On 25 May 2012 the Dutch label Music on Vinyl re-released the album on vinyl. On 5 February 2013 Friday Music re-released the album in an expanded edition featuring two bonus tracks: the B-side "Slow Down Sister," and a rare radio edit version of "Love Conquers All." On 22 July 2013 UK label Cherry Red Records re-released the album in another expanded edition, this time featuring three bonus tracks: "Slow Down Sister", and the single edits for "King of Dreams" and "Love Conquers All".〔(Cherry Red Records – Slaves and Masters, Deep Purple )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slaves and Masters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
