    Overview

    The album was recorded in Los Angeles during January and February 2003.[4] It is also notable as being the first Ian Gillan-fronted Deep Purple album to make use of backing vocals other than Gillan`s own (since the 1972 sessions for the song "Woman From Tokyo" in Germany which featured Jon Lord and Roger Glover singing backing vocals) with the song "Haunted" featuring Beth Hart. The album includes "Contact Lost", a short slow instrumental requiem for the Space Shuttle Columbia astronauts, written by guitarist Steve Morse when he heard the news of the crash.[6]

    The photo in the album cover was taken by the band`s manager Bruce Payne.[7]

    Bananas charted well despite lack of media exposure, especially in Europe and South America (notably at Germany and Argentina where it peaked in the top 10).[8]

    Unreleased tracks

    Since the Abandon album, Deep Purple performed three new songs onstage. "Long Time Gone" was debuted in the summer of 2000 but not included on Bananas. Another new song, "Up The Wall" was played on the 2002 UK tour and reworked into "I Got Your Number". The instrumental "Well Dressed Guitar" remained unreleased until the next album, 2005`s Rapture of the Deep.[9]
