You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

One of the best comeback albums of all time, Perfect Strangers is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, released on 29 October 1984. Recorded in August 1984 at Studio "Horizons" in Stowe, Vermont, USA.
It was the most successful album recorded by the re-formed 'Mark II' line-up.
It was the first Deep Purple studio album in nine years, and the first with the Mk II line-up in eleven years, the last being Who Do We Think We Are in 1973. Ritchie Blackmore and Roger Glover arrived from Rainbow, Ian Gillan from Black Sabbath, Jon Lord from Whitesnake, and Ian Paice from Gary Moore's backing band.
All songs have been wrtten by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover except "Nobody’s Home" credited to all five band members.
The album was a commercial success, reaching #5 in the UK charts and #17 on the Billboard 200 in the US. Perfect Strangers was only the second Deep Purple studio album to be certified platinum in the United States, following 1972's Machine Head. The tour was so successful that the band had to book many additional dates to the U.S. arena tour, as tickets sold out very quickly.
