     DEEP PURPLE
THE BOOK OF TALIESYN

PLAYS VERY WELL WITH NO NASTY AUDIO ISSUES !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD TO POINT OUT THERE IS A NASTY LOOKING SCUFF LINE ACROSS TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, BUT LUCKILY IT IS VERY LIGHT, AND HAS NOT DAMAGED THE GROOVES, BUT VISUALLY NOT VERY NICE. ALSO THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A STRAIGHT SPINE EDGE, AND THE FRONT AND BACK RIGHT SIDE EDGES WITH THE OPENING EDGE ALSO HAVE A STRAIGHT EDGE AND LINE UP,BUT WHEN THE GATEFOLD IS CLOSED THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DO NOT LINE UP, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO. VERY STRANGE,SO I WOULD ASSUME A PRINTING FAULT, THANK YOU !!!!
FIRST RELEASED IN THE U.S.A AND CANADA, IN 1968, ORIGINALLY FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK 1969 WITH THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT,AND NO EMI BOXES ON THE LABEL. THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS A 1971 REPRESS WITH THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO LTD', BUT HAS THE EMI BOXES ON THE LABELS !!!!
THIS IS DEEP PURPLE WHO WERE PART OF THE BIG FOUR IN THE LATE 60's AND 70's. THEY WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND THIS IS THEIR 2nd ALBUM RELEASED IN JUNE 1968, AND JUST THREE MONTHS AFTER THEIR 1st ALBUM, "SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE" !!!! THIS PLAYS WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, AND THERE WILL BE A FULL AUDIO DESCRIPTION. TO BE HONEST, I WAS NOT GOING TO LIST, DUE TO THE COVER AND SCUFF, BUT HAVE A READ OF THE DESCRIPTION AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK. OF COURSE NOT FOR THE PERFECTIONIST BUT IT STILL IS A GREAT LISTEN AND VERY EARLY  DEEP PURPLE !!!!    DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK REPRESS :: SHVL 751  A-1G  ::  SHVL 751  B-1G .

ON THE HARVEST LABEL  ::  SHVL 751 .
WITH 'GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT, BUT HAS THE 'EMI BOXES' ON BOTH LABELS !!!!

COVER ::  ORIGINAL GATEFOLD, '6905 TPS PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd 'SHVL 751. SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP !!!! AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DO NOT LINE UP AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE, SO MUST BE A PRINTING FAULT AS THE SPINE AND OPOSITE SIDE EDGES DO LINE UP. VERY CLEAN COVER, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD LOVELY, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE, DUE TO NOT LINING UP  :: EX- .

VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, NO CRACKLE, STATIC, AND IN FACT NO CLICKS, OR POPS, SO NICE AUDIO, BUT THERE ARE SOME TICKS, NOT MANY, AS WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, THANK YOU...

ON SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE .

TRACK 2 :: THERE ARE THREE LIGHT TICKS TOWARDS THE END .

TWO LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 3 :: HAS FOUR FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

HAS TWO LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 4 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

ON SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE .

TRACK 2 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

TRACK 3 :: HAS FIVE FAINT TICKS AT THE START ON QUIET INTRO, AND TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL FINE, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND A COUPLE OF COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS, AND A MORE NOTICEABLE HAIRLINE ON TRACK 2 AND TRACK 3 ON SIDE 1. THERE IS ALSO THAT NASTY LOOKING, BUT HARMLESS THIN SCUFF LINE ON TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2. SO UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT NOT THE BEST, AS THE SCUFF LINE DOES NOT LOOK VERY NICE, AND I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IT IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND HONESTLY STILL ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG+/EX- .

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL INNER  ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, AND THE POLYLINER IS MISSING, WITH JUST SOME AGEING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: VG .

SO DEEP PURPLE'S 2nd ALBUM, PLAYS REALLY WELL, BUT HAS SOME COSMETICS, AND THE COVER ALTHOUGH IN GREAT CONDITION, THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DO NOT LINE UP.
