The Anthology is a compilation album by the British hard rock band Deep Purple, containing material by Mks I (1968-1969), II (1970–73), III (1974–75) and IV (1975–76) line-ups. It was released as a double vinyl album and double-cassette, and included a few previously-unreleased tracks and mixes. The sleeve-notes were written by Chris Charlesworth, author of Deep Purple - The Illustrated Biography.
This compilation was never re-issued on CD: a 2CD set, released by EMI in 1991, was also titled 'Anthology', but featured different songs and only previously-released material.
