Listen, Learn, Read On is a box set released by Deep Purple in 2002. A remarkable collection of over seventy tracks (around a quarter of which are unreleased) across six packed CDs, all subject to extensive mastering at EMI's Abbey Road Studios. A perfect in-depth introduction to the group, all their classic songs are here, many newly remastered, also featuring twenty or so previously unissued live performances, radio sessions and alternate takes. In addition the box also houses a long format book written by Deep Purple archivist Simon Robinson, which tells the band's story in detail via 120 pages of text, with pictures, cuttings, memorabilia, musician profiles and discographies. The set kicks off with a selection of early tracks by the members of the band before they were in Purple.
