Personnel

The Rockfield Mixes

Ian Gillan became dissatisfied with the final mixes of the album and this delayed its eventual release. What eventually became the album Clear Air Turbulence was remixed at Kingsway before release, but the original mix had taken place at Rockfield Studios in Wales.[3] In 1997 the original mix was released by Angel Air Records under the title The Rockfield Mixes. The Rockfield Mixes represents a "cleaner" (or at least earlier) version of the album. It also includes an extra track which didn't make it to the original release. The track list was altered as follows:

  1. "Over the Hill" – 7:20
  2. "Clear Air Turbulence" – 7:47
  3. "Five Moons" – 7:34
  4. "Money Lender" – 5:40
  5. "Angel Manchenio" – 7:21
  6. "This Is the Way" – 2:03
  7. "Goodhand Liza" – 5:20
The 2004 release of the original mix

The Rockfield Mixes Plus

In 2004 a further variant of the album was released as The Rockfield Mixes Plus containing 4 previously unreleased tracks and an interview with Ray Fenwick. The extra tracks were:

  • "Apathy" (backing track) – 4:14
  • "Over the Hill" (live) – 9:50
  • "Smoke on the Water" (live) – 7:38
  • "Mercury High" (backing track) – 3:33
