Весьма компетентный и разноплановый сборник, на котором в хронологическом порядке представлены композиции разных исполнителей, в записи которых в период с 1963 по 1970 годы принимал в качестве гитариста Ритчи Блэкмор.

Большая часть из этого материал ранее издавалась на различных компиляциях (в том числе Рre Purple), но есть действительно интересные находки, ранее не издававшиеся на компакт-дисках, а некоторые даже на виниле. Только и одном составители слукавили: трэки 23-25 с второго компакта все же выходили в 1991 году официально на The Green Bullfrog Sessions.В компиляцию также иключено радиоинтервью с Ритчи, взятое Джоном Тоблером в 1983 году, в котором гитарист вспоминает о своей ранней карьере, работе с легендарным британским продюсером Джо Миком.

9-й трэк на втором диске — «Honey Hush» — это один из вариантов песни, приобретшей популярность под названием «Yaketty Yak».

P.S. Из-за отсутствия места не включены такие сборники, как, например, The Best Of Ritchie Blackmore(Teichiku Records TECW-21870), Pre Purple People(Purple Records PUR 325) и ряд других компиляций с участием Ритчи Блэкмора, н том числе записи 60-х гг. ( The Assasination Of John F. Kennedy, Best Of Michael Cox, Let’s Go! Joe Meek’s Girls(RPM 166) и т.д.).
