Deep Purple - Slaves and Masters: Wikipedia Album Entry
Slaves and Masters is the thirteenth Deep Purple album, released in 1990. Before the recording process started, tensions within the band grew, as Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore coudn't work together any more. This led to the firing of Ian Gillan at the insistence of Blackmore. He also brought in a new singer, Joe Lynn Turner, whom he worked with some years before in later reincarnation of his band, Rainbow.
The album was not a success and is considered by many fans to be the worst Deep Purple studio album. The band was criticised for radio friendly compositions and sound. "King of Dreams" reached #6 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and "Fire in the Basement" climbed to #20, however, the album only went to #87 in The Billboard 200.
A tour followed and it was generally praised by the fans, although Turner had trouble singing songs performed originally by Gillan. But it was noticed that he did a good job live with new songs and the setlists were varied throughout the show, with Mark III's "Burn" back in the live set after 14 years.
However, the album's commercial failure and Turner's problems with voice led to yet another line-up change. Preparing to celebrate the band's 25th anniversary, the rest of Deep Purple asked Turner to leave and again brought in Ian Gillan to reunite the classic line-up one more time.
Slaves and Masters was the only album recorded by Deep Purple Mark V that featured:
Joe Lynn Turner
Ritchie Blackmore
Roger Glover
Jon Lord
Ian Paice

Deep Purple - Slaves and Masters Lyrics
Deep Purple - King Of Dreams Lyrics
It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong
It really doesn't mean a thing
It doesn't matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
Deep Purple - The Cut Runs Deep Lyrics
Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Deep Purple - Fire In The Basement Lyrics
I came 'round to your front door, your back door was locked
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock
Oh baby I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside
I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground
Deep Purple - Truth Hurts Lyrics
You know my will is broken, you've got my heart on hold
I'm lying here in pieces, so cold
It gets so hard to handle, all the things you need to say
But I guess I heard it all before anyway
Deep Purple - Breakfast In Bed Lyrics
Woke up this morning, the rain coming down
Washing the sin from the streets
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing ground
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Deep Purple - Love Conquers All Lyrics
It feels like the end when you're closer
To losing your dreams than losing a friend
Flying blind, I'm shooting into the dark
Who will I find, oh, girl
Deep Purple - Fortuneteller Lyrics
Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me, yeah
Deep Purple - Too Much Is Not Enough Lyrics
You're so extreme, you're super heavy
You're one step over the line
Not what you seem, don't try and tell me
I know what's really on your mind
Deep Purple - Wicked Ways Lyrics
You're so hot, you're so cool
I can see that you're nobody's fool
Now tell me, am I coming through?
