    A very weird US import on an obscure record label (presumably they licensed the tracks from EMI)? Ten tracks - seven from the first album, Shades of Deep Purple, no tracks from the second album, The Book Of Taliesyn and three tracks from the final Deep Purple Mark 1 album, Deep Purple. Very random indeed! I bought it, for not a lot of money, from a second hand record shop (which is no longer there), which was opposite Sheffield City Hall. I wish I could tell you why I bought it, but I can't - I had all three of the DP Mark 1 albums! It came without an inner sleeve and I don't think I have ever played it. The music is, of course, fine. The psychedelic heavy pop calm before the storm that was Deep Purple Mark 2. File under "Why?"

      Fun track selection but wow is this a quiet pressing! Feels pretty compressed overall, butworth it for a few bucks at a thrift store :- )
