Deep Purple have already shared full versions of their takes on the 1966 Arthur Lee and Love track, “7 and 7 Is”, and the 1969 Fleetwood Mac classic, “Oh Well”, in advance of the project’s release.
“Turning To Crime” came about as a result of the covid-pandemic, as the band were forced to cancel all planned activities after the release of 2020’s “Whoosh!”; spending their time in isolation without being able to play together in person, an idea came up the group had actually been playing with for years: making a record packed with songs written and originally performed by other artists.
