“History, Hits & Highlights ’68-’76” naziv je dvostrukog DVD-a Deep Purplea kojeg će 2. lipnja objaviti Eagle Rock Entertainment.
Kako je vidljivo iz samog naslova, ovo će izdanje obuhvatiti period od osnivanja, pa do raspada Deep Purplea 1976. godine, a na njemu će se naći rijetki i neobjavljeni dokumentarni materijali, koncerti, intervjui, televizijski nastupi i foto galerije.
Kronika prvih osam godina postojanja Deep Purplea u svojem će sadržaju obuhvatiti materijale snimljene sa svim postavama benda, od tzv. Mark I, pa sve do Mark IV, koja je okončala prvi dio priče, nastavljene nakon osam godina pauze albumom “Perfect Strangers”, i koja traje još i danas.
