Deep Purple's – The Now What?! B-Sides & Bonus Songs collects rare and previously scattered material from the band’s acclaimed 2013 album era, finally unified on vinyl for Record Store Day 2025. This compilation rounds up non-album tracks, single B-sides, radio edits, alternate mixes, and instrumental versions produced during the Now What?! sessions with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin.

Highlights include the punchy “Hell To Pay (Radio Edit),” the reflective outtake “First Sign Of Madness,” and a full suite of instrumental versions that showcase the interplay between Steve Morse’s guitar work, Don Airey’s keyboards, and the legendary rhythm section of Roger Glover and Ian Paice. While not conceived as a standalone album, the collection offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one of Deep Purple’s strongest modern-era releases.

This Record Store Day–exclusive edition is pressed on purple 180-gram vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, and mastered at Sterling Sound with vinyl mastering by Thorsten Wyk. Pressed by Optimal Media in Germany, it delivers clean, dynamic sound quality that complements both the hard-rock tracks and the more spacious instrumental pieces.
