And he never sounded more Purple-ish than he does on Mr. Universe, which isn't quite on a par with Purple's Burn but is stronger than many of the albums the outfit had recorded after Gillan's departure (some of which were quite disappointing). This is Gillan at his most aggressive and passionately rockin'. Those with fond memories of his work with Purple will appreciate the testosterone-driven energy of "Vengeance," "Roller," and "Message in a Bottle. Headbangers shouldn't overlook this one.

Only 2 left in stock (more on the way). This is the 2007 remaster of Ian Gillan's "Mr. Universe" album. Released in October 1979, it was a top twenty hit in the UK, and featured the line-up of Ian Gillan (vocals), John McCoy (bass), Colin Towns (keyboards), Bernie Tormé (guitar), and Mick Underwood (drums). There are many great hard rockin' tracks to be found here, such as Second Sight, Secret of the Dance, Roller, Mr. Universe, Dead of Night, Message in a Bottle and Fighting Man. I still think Glory Road (their follow up) was a better album, but this one is pretty powerful as well
