Notes

This is the first UK issue

The main identifiers are:

- Laminated gatefold sleeve with 'Printed and Made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.' (until about 1981)

- Inner sleeve: Copies bought in the first month of release feature a plain inner sleeve with 'Patent Nos. 1125555' text and 'Made In Great Britain' text in BLACK PRINT near the bottom on 1 side. Shortly after this LP was released (about July / August 1970) EMI introduced the 'Harvest' advertising inner sleeve. So with all copies made from this date onwards mostly having the 'Harvest' advertising inner sleeve instead. However, plain EMI inner sleeve were also used;

- Runouts: A2 / B1 (until about mid-1975). It is worth noting that variant 1 - 1st pressings with A-1 / B-1 matrixes are extremely rare on this LP. They were changed prior to the release date, with even most release date copies having A2/B1 matrixes instead. Only 1 in 20 1st pressings have this matrix - with A2/B1 matrix being used through all remaining 1st pressings, and many 2nd pressings also;

- The upper rim text begins with 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD.' (until about May 1974);
- No 'EMI' logo on labels (until about June 1971);
- The inscription 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' on labels is separated of the lower rim text and centered above the circular bottom line (until about May 1974);
- Song listing in 3-lines for side A and in 4 lines for side B (until about the second half of 1972);
- The Ⓟ icon (under the 'Side A/B' indicator on labels) is about a third smaller than the year '1970' to the right of it (until about December 1970 / January 1971);
- Inscriptions (on the right side of the label) 'STEREO', 'SHVL 777' and '(SHVL.777A or B) 33 1/3' are located one above the other and have an equal gap between them.

    Can anyone help me identify the print of my copy? I'm pretty certain that it is a UK 1970 print as the Ⓟ icon on the label is smaller than "1970" and there is no EMI logo on the label. The "Deep Purple" on the upper left side of the label is written very high (as in this print: https://www.discogs.com/release/9518410-Deep-Purple-Deep-Purple-In-Rock ), but "side 1" on the label is very close (almost touching) the green line above it. The stamped matrix number is "SHVL 777 A-2" / "SHVL 777 B-1" with no additional letters or numbers, which doesn't match any 1970 print that I can find. The EMI and Harvest logos on the front sleeve have the second fine line.

          Stamattina sono andato dal mio fornitore a cambiare il 1° dei Genesis (From genesi to revelation)
          in quanto quello che avevo acquistato aveva un po' troppo fruscìo e se ne ha più di una copia,
          me lo cambia volentieri.Ho notato che vi era una copia di "In Rock" bello spesso. I Deep li ho quasi
          tutti fino a "Come Taste the band", poi sono tutte compilation. Non avevo mai visto "In Rock" Gatefold,
          in effetti era la prima stampa Uk.

            I've got a nice copy for sale that has 1st press cover and EMI printed inner. Heavy 1st press A1/B1 vinyl but has EMI logo on both sides. Does anyone know which issue this might be?

              Why are there so many U.K. unknown date versions? Most of these are duplicates and can be dated through the label variations!

                First time pulling this record out in probably 4 years. This is the best album from Deep Purple, and frankly, I don't think it's close. The songwriting here is top-notch, and suits the production perfectly. Speaking of production, this is somewhat raw, yet still heavy as hell and hard-grooving. I've never understood why people are in love with machine head. I find that one to lack life and any kind organic feel. It's always just sounded stale to me idk. I think that's why the songs sound so much better on made in japan.
                I think the reason I first ever listened to this record was for the album cover. It's so striking and a little goovy, in the best possible way. As an American, I've got to say that I think putting deep purple on Rushmore would be a total improvement over the presidents' faces on their now. Or how about we just get rid of it altogether and return the land to its rightful indigenous owners.
                Anyways, best Deep Purple album.Yup. Classic.

                  One of the best examples of early rock you will find. With two new members (Ian Gillan and lRoger Glover) joining Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore and all five on absolute top form.
                  Musicianship and songwriting of the highest order

                    I have the A1/B1 press ..the band credits on side 1 label appear to have Palce instead of Paice ( same as the picture here ) . Has anyone else noticed that ...is it a typo or printing that has bled ?
