Dang... After posting this interview in the
other thread, I saw this thread title and thought it was official confirmation.
It's great to hear the album's finished, but I'll take the September release with a grain of salt. Dean doesn't seem entirely sure, and I don't know that Rhino would release both the new album and Purple's reissue in the same month. On the other hand, that may actually be a terrific marketing idea to use the added attention for their old album to sell the new one.
Anyway, whatever the case I imagine we'll see the new album by the end of the year.
