Notes
The first studio album to feature a new line-up:
Ritchie Blackmore • Guitar / Ian Gillan • Vocals / Jon Lord • Organ / Ian Paice • Drums / Roger Glover • Bass
Singles released: Track 1 - Speed King / Track 3 - Child In Time / Deep Purple - Black Night
Deep Purple In Rock is the fourth studio album by British rock band Deep Purple, recorded from October 1969 to April 1970 at the IBC Studio, De Lane Lea Studios and Abbey Road Studios, all in London.
First issued in UK, June 5, 1970 on Harvest SHVL 777:
The original album came in an outside laminated gatefold sleeve. The inner gatefold had lyrics on the left and five black & white photos of the individual band members & credits on the right.
The main identifiers of the earliest UK copies:
- The upper rim text on labels begins with 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD';
- No EMI logo on labels;
- Small Ⓟ icon (left of 1970 on labels);
- Only one bold line around the EMI/Harvest logo on the front sleeve;
- Plain factory inner sleeve with 'Patent Nos. 1125555' text on the left and 'Made In Great Britain' text on the right at the bottom of the sleeve.
In Mexico the album also included "Black Night", a single recorded soon after the main album sessions.
The U.S. and Japanese releases of the album cut the intro to "Speed King" lasting just over a minute.

The main title could be spelled as "Deep Purple In Rock" according to the logo of the 1st UK Harvest Edition Deep Purple In Rock, or, as many editions are referred to as, "In Rock".

- Edited one month agoMy copy has the the A1-B1 matrix number. The "stereo SHVL 777" writing on the right side of each label has a smaller gap than shown in the photo and is more consistent with a 1970 repress.
To my ears this sounds incredible, very dynamic and bright, particularly side one. referencing In Rock (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Purple, Gatefold, 180 Gram) SHVL 777
Stunning sounding copy. highly recommended. everything louder than everything else!.referencing In Rock (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Purple, Gatefold, 180 Gram) SHVL 777
Absolutely fantastic! Superb mix, excellent pressing, dead silent. The best sounding copy I have ever owned.

Rega Planar 6 + Goldring 1022GX- This is a terrible sounding copy of this album. I originally got my copy in 2022 and noticed the first time I listened to it that it was subpar sounding.
Who cut and who mastered this copy from this entry? How does an original first pressing of this album sound? Is this just a bad job done on this reissue or was the original kind of a low fidelity sounding copy also?
I love the songs and the music from this album. Child in Time is one of my all-time favorite Deep Purple songs. But there is distortion in parts of this reissue as well as Ian's voice seems to be covered by instruments and low in the mix throughout the album. I know it's a stereo copy but it almost has a mono type of sound to it. It doesn't seem like a lot of work was put into making this reissue. And that's a shame!
Not having any original pressings or tapes or even CDs of this album, can anybody recommend an LP version that does sound really great? I'd appreciate it and I definitely would wind up getting it providing the price isn't through the roof.
As I mentioned in the beginning, I got this copy of my reissued LP in 2022. Right off the bat it sounded like a poor production copy. I tried listening to it again later that same year but stopped before I even finished it. I'm listening to it again today and halfway hoping it might sound better. But it doesn't. It's not a recording that I can't listen to. The distortion and subpar sound/mix doesn't hurt my ears or anything like that. It's just that it doesn't sound remotely as good as I think it should or could sound and I really want to find a copy that I can rock out on and enjoy. So any recommendations of a copy that sounds great would really be appreciated!

Had a chance to compare this to the OG (Oz) version. There's no comparison. This is miles better. Grab it.
