The <a href="spotify:artist:568ZhdwyaiCyOGJRtNYhWf">Deep Purple</a> spin-off project Paice Ashton Lord was formed by ex-<a href="spotify:artist:568ZhdwyaiCyOGJRtNYhWf">Deep Purple</a> members <a href="spotify:artist:2gNdXbhyIbXHWvurrlrUAq">Ian Paice</a> (drums) and <a href="spotify:artist:4ff6Uen2n24VIpFt1l10ek">Jon Lord</a> (organ) with <a href="spotify:artist:5LX4ASQnrthGWBzC727y1l">Tony Ashton</a>, who had been in the Remo Four during the British Invasion era and then in <a href="spotify:artist:1jjn1GBdbizg6qiqtKsEgC">Ashton, Gardner & Dyke</a> (famous for "Resurrection Shuffle"). When they got together in mid-1976, <a href="spotify:artist:568ZhdwyaiCyOGJRtNYhWf">Deep Purple</a> had just broken up; for the sole Paice Ashton Lord album, the sound was filled out by guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:677DC3rdbnijHQV1dg4j6c">Bernie Marsden</a> and bassist Paul Martinez. That LP, 1977's Malice in Wonderland, was not nearly as heavy as <a href="spotify:artist:568ZhdwyaiCyOGJRtNYhWf">Deep Purple</a> had been, though it still owed much to mainstream British hard rock. There was, however, a fair amount of jazz influence in the arrangements (which sometimes included brass) and some soul ingredients to the songwriting. Paice Ashton Lord then disbanded, although they did start work on a second LP. Eight songs from the unreleased second album appeared on the CD reissue of Malice in Wonderland on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Purple+Records%22">Purple Records</a> in 2001. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
