DEEP PURPLE
IAN PAICE, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, JON LORD, ROD EVANS, NICK SIMPER
Progressive rock giants who made hard rock a fine art, and unleashed some
of the greatest guitar riffs known to the world. Deep Purple survived a seemingly
endless series of lineup changes and a dramatic mid-career shift from
grandiose progressive rock to ear-shattering heavy metal to emerge
as a true institution of the British hard rock community; once credited
in The Guinness Book of World Records as the globe's loudest band,
their revolving-door roster launched the careers of performers including
Ritchie Blackmore, David Coverdale, and Ian Gillan.
Deep Purple were formed in Hertford, England, in 1968

This is a record that even those who aren't Deep Purple fans can listen to two
or three times in one sitting -- but then, this wasn't much like any other
album that the group ever issued. Actually, Deep Purple was highly prized
for many years by fans of progressive rock, and for good reason.
The group was going through a transition -- original lead singer Rod Evans and
bassist Nick Simper would be voted out of the lineup soon after the album was
finished (although they weren't told about it until three months later), organist
Jon Lord and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore having perceived limitations in their work
in terms of where each wanted to take the band. And between Lord's
ever-greater ambitions toward fusing classical and rock and Blackmore's ever-bolder
guitar attack, both of which began to coalesce with the session for Deep Purple
in early 1969, the group managed to create an LP that combined heavy metal's early,
raw excitement, intensity, and boldness with progressive rock's complexity
and intellectual scope, and virtuosity on both levels...(AllMusic)
