- First copy was atrocious - dirty as hell, skips galore, tons of non fill. Second copy was excellent, clear, balanced and quiet.
Both copies were spin cleaned thrice. - I've got a version with matrix runout CD Music DIGIP ZZ01/6201.
It is not mentioned in verison list above or I'm not looking correctly? referencing Shades Of Deep Purple (LP, Album) 543.007
The amazing Deep Purple debut album, here rendered in beautifully spacey late 1960's stereo & on dead-silent vinyl to boot. This is where Blackmore throws down the gauntlet & creates the first in his series of spectacular yet beautiful guitar playing freakouts. One of the 1960's greatest blends of pop & psychedelia which somehow has the ability to still sound fresh & futuristic simultaneously. A total & complete triumph...referencing Shades Of Deep Purple (LP, Album, Record Store Day, Limited Edition, Reissue, Mono, Purple) PMCR 7055
My copy of this purple vinyl playes great on both sides. For mono recording it is well mastered so it have good, fat sound.- Edited 5 months agoI'm trying to understand why this is considered a repressing and from 1971 rather than 1968? I see no evidence of any prior release in South Africa ...
referencing Shades Of Deep Purple (LP, Album, Stereo) T-102
Why it is not marked as a unoficial? This is probably a early 80's reissue not from 1968.- Terrible pressing. One of the least enjoyable records I have played recently. The music is nice but I constantly felt that something is wrong with audio. At least I have a copy of it and it's just filler... Gotta look out for some other issue.
