On the other thread I moved the White Album thing. It wasn't a double album so, not sure why I thought.... I think Chili always told us to stop calling it the White Album anyway.

the interview was a re-print of their interview with him in 1978. So he's talking about Rumours-era FM. And I suspect as a Brit he knew the McVies and Mick when he talks about knowing them … and he was probably comparing the Peter Green era band with the then-current Rumours-era band, and I could see how he would think Rumours was mellow in comparison to that.


This week, Ritchie Blackmore turns 70. To pay tribute to one of rock’s great eccentrics, this week’s Rock’s Backpages presents an interview given to Trouser Press magazine in July 1978
