MINTY CLEAN 1968 ORIGINAL WHITE LABEL PROMO
FIRST PURPLE LP WITH "HUSH"
SHADES OF
DEEP PURPLE
...USA - Tetragrammaton Records T 102
TOP CLEAN....ORIGINAL 1968 advance release first pressing WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL of the very first DEEP PURPLE ...they had an immediate nation wide hit with the infectiously heavy "HUSH" ...here's the story:
It's not uncommon that a rock and roll band has a history that is forgotten about. Many times, it is for the proper reasons. Deep Purple`s first incarnation "Mark I" had three terrific records. If they never created another note, they could be proud to have composed such great material.
While to most of the musical universe Deep Purple is "Mark 2" featuring the intense and strong vocals of Ian Gillian and Roger Glover on bass, the prior story begins in 1968. Rod Evans (One of the most underrated singers of the era and later vocalist for CAPTAIN BEYOND) and Nick Simper (Bass and a year later with WARHORSE), still may not be household names but were very much a part of the foundation.
"Shades Of Deep Purple" isn't "In Rock." That is not a swipe in the least. It is only a warning to those that are looking for the more metal and improvisational side of the band. What this first album consists of is terrific material and well-blended rock with Ritchie Blackmore already way ahead of the guitar action curve and only to get better.
"And The Address" opens with a tasty riff that you don't forget. It's a solid choice to lay down the landscape of what will follow.
"Hush" is indeed the hit of the day. Purple struck it rich immediately. It is still played on rock radio to this day.
"One More Rainy Day" features a well-crafted sound by Jon Lord on the keyboards. Rod Evans vocal feel is superlative.
"Prelude"/"Happiness"/"I'm So Glad" covers the musical spectrum in a bit over seven minutes. "I'm So Glad" is the timeless tune made famous by the incredible Cream version. Purple chooses not to intensify it to that degree but finds a perfect direction using a mid-tempo arrangement and first rate drumming from Ian Paice.
"Mandrake Root" is Purple's first journey into the land of improvisation. As they explore uncharted waters, the band jells well. Jon Lord's keyboards are mixed high and it give a memorable performance.
"Help!" needs no introduction. The Beatles classic (Lennon/McCartney) is slowed down to a totally different and unique arrangement. The vocals are heartfelt and the results are pleasant!
"Love Help Me" pays homage to the psychedelic sounds of the 60's Although it may be the least known song on the record it clearly belongs.
"Hey Joe" closes the festivities. The endless versions from Hendrix to Purple will live forever. This rendition isn't full of fire but it packs enough of a punch to get the job done.
