Just Scored Ritchie Blackmore's Marshall Speakers

I was doing a project in a local studio here in CT and the engineer turned me onto a cool opportunity: in the guitar booth he hung a bunch of 12" celestion speakers on the wall so I asked what the deal was...

He knows people who were in the Deep Purple organization a long time who have a bunch of Ritchie's Celection 35 watt speakers all dated and numbered - - evidentely, for all Deep Purple shows he only used speakers for one performance and then changed them out for new ones -and I was able to grab eight of them for one of my full Marshall stacks - DEEP PURPLE MARSHALLS, BABY. Hand dated and numbered -each one - so I can research which show he played them in. I'll be hooking them up this weekend.

I know it's childish, but I've always been a Blackmore/ Deep Purple fan and to have Ritchie's rig as part of my rig is really cool.

Congratulation mate

That's a great connection to classic rock history. Every time you play through them savour the experience you lucky bugger

So, how do they sound?

Rock on!

How does that get to be childish?

Nice score there....

I am late to the party at really listening and taking in Ritchie Blackmore's playing. I always knew he was good.

Only now am I learning how really good he is.

Congrats! A cool score.
