Deep Purple - DEEP PURPLE

Deep Purple - DEEP PURPLEIncluding a great version of Donovan's 'Lalena', this is a kinda more laid back album (my view DP fans, not yours)(actually I am playing the CD as I write this so forget laid back statement; b$%^&*ks, it still rocks!). However, it is the last of the more 'psychedelic prog rock' era. This is the original UK release with gatefold sleeve

Apart from a small 'R' stamp on the reverse of the sleeve (Boots used to mark these in their 'Remaindered' section in the days when they sold records) the album and sleeve are in excellent condition

First outing of the 'alternative' band led by the wonderful Viv Stanshall (a band formed in 1962 just around the corner from where I lived)

Second studio album from CCR includes 'Born On The Bayou' and of course the immortal 'Proud Mary

I may be biaised as I do think Brian Wilson was as good a songwriter as anything we produced in the UK (controversial

This is a sought after copy of the original mono UK release with gatefold sleeve and original booklet

includes 'Without Her'

good musicianship and something a bit different

This is the original UK release (limited edition number: 18832) with 3-gatefold sleeve and lyrics 'book' insert

much has been written about and about the state he was during this period

the opening long track 'Une Nuit A Paris' is ace

containing the classic rock anthem 'Hold Your Head Up'

I think Nik Kershaw is one of our best singer-songwriters
