First of the Big Bands
Tony Ashton and Jon Lord
℗ 1974 Purple Records TPS 3507
First of the Big Bands is a studio album by Tony Ashton of Ashton, Gardner & Dyke and Jon Lord of Deep Purple, released in April 1974 by Purple Records. The project was Ashton's and Lord's brainchild and continuation of their working relationship after Ashton Gardner & Dyke helped out on Jon Lord's soundtrack album The Last Rebel from 1971. Stylistically, First of the Big Bands was the precursor to Paice Ashton Lord's Malice in Wonderland album from 1977. |
