I had The Mask on vinyl. I reviewed it for The Illinois Entertainer, and recall liking it. I also got to interview Roger for the magazine just after the Deep Purple reunion was announced ahead of Perfect Strangers. He was a great interview, and a very open and friendly guy. He took some good natured ribbing about the fact that he had said, only a couple months earlier, that Deep Purple would never reunite. And Rainbow wouldn't have been the success it was without him.
