Wizards Convention is an obscure album sought after by Deep Purple fans for the involvement of members of that band. The album was laid down just a few weeks after Deep Purple Mk 4 had played their final concert in Liverpool, with the members of the band all contemplating solo careers of one sort or another. The album was in the main Eddie Hardin’s (former Spencer Davis Group keyboard player). He wrote (or co-wrote) all the material and played many of the instruments himself. Several musician friends were brought in and the decision was taken to credit everyone equally on the sleeve, to try to promote it as a kind of jam session. Rather than do a traditional solo album, Eddie Hardin wrote the songs and then asked a number of musicians to help him record them. Deep Purple’s David Coverdale, Jon Lord, Roger Glover and Glenn Hughes joined other guests including Mark Nauseef (from Elf and Rainbow), Tony Ashton, Mike D’Abo, Ray Fenwick and drummer Pete York. The result was an album full of variety and styles, which later became much sought after by Deep Purple collectors. Other guests include: Ric Lee (Ten Years After), Rick van der Linden (Ekseption), Mike D’Abo (Manfred Mann), Mo Foster, Leslie Binks, and Henry Spinetti.
