Editing Deep Purple (section)

===Mark VIII (2002–2022)===
In 2003, the new Mark VIII line-up released ''[[Bananas (Deep Purple album)|Bananas]]'', their first studio album in five years, and began touring in support. [[EMI Records]] refused a contract extension with Deep Purple, possibly because of lower sales. Despite this, ''In Concert with The London Symphony Orchestra'' sold more than ''Bananas''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.rockdetector.com/interviews/artist,2377.sm?id=70 |date=10 November 2005 |author=Garry Sharpe-Young |title=Roger Glover interview |work=[[Rockdetector]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060209140852/http://www.rockdetector.com/interviews/artist%2C2377.sm?id=70 |archive-date=9 February 2006 }}</ref>
