The House of Blue Light, released in 1987, found Deep Purple continuing their late-career resurgence with a collection of, for better or worse, undeniably themselves songs. The record is notable for its embrace of a more contemporary, mid-80s rock sound, a departure from the hard rock of their earlier work.
- The album reached number 34 on the UK Albums Chart.
- The album was recorded at the Sound City recording studio in Los Angeles, California.
- The single "Call of the Wild" was the album's lead release, followed by "Bad Attitude."
Deep Purple, formed in London in 1968, is a seminal hard rock band whose career has spanned decades and multiple lineups. The House of Blue Light, released in 1987, marked the second album from the reunited "Mark II" lineup and followed their comeback record Perfect Strangers.
