Deep Purples Third Album.......2006-12-04

It's an improvement over the first two records.
The band sound really tight (Always did/do anyway) and the music just flows along. But I still feel it's not as good as the Albums to follow, so I'll remain with three stars only.
This time there original songs sound better and ain't so overloaded with boreing hippie trippy music.
Still sounds out of time for todays standards (or even 69 standards as well) but they really got better on this 1969 album.
Songs that stand out Are April, Moody feeling kinda song, like a three song in one deal.
The first phase sounds like a soundtrack to some old western flick after that it gets kinda borning untill the end where it picks up a bit.
The Painter and Why didn't Rosemary sound good as well, along with a few others on the album.
You can tell Deep Purple really know how to play music...that's for sure.
The Bonus tracks are BBC Sessions and sound almost just like the album versions.
And the B-SIDE Emmaretta which is also a bonus song, is a pretty good track as well.
So i think this is a better album then the last two and it's well worth the Amazon listed price if your interested in picking something new up from the DEEP!!
I still can't give it anything more then a three compared to what comes next in there career.

Deep Purple.......2006-09-23

Band Personnell:
Rod Evans - Vocals
Ritchie Blackmore - Guitars
Nick Simper - Bass and Backing Vocals
Ian Paice - Drums and Percussions
Jon Lord - Organs, Keyboards and Backing Vocals

The last album featuring singer Rod Evans and bassist Nick Simper and the first album Jon Lord used keyboards, this album has a lots of highlights such as "Chasing Shadows", "Blind" and "The Bird Has Flown", both Evans and Simper was kicked before this album saw it's release.
It's a good album indeed and it's worth the money.

Deep Purple's 3rd album is solid........2006-09-17

Deep Purple's third album (June '69), and the last to feature their MKI lineup, is not quite as magical as the first two MKI albums of 1968, but, is still very solid indeed. Recently, all three of the MK I albums have been remastered perfectly, with great bonus tracks that are worth your time. Overall, this is a solid finale featuring the vocals of Rod Evans and the bass work of Nick Simper. Of course Blackmore (guitar), Lord (keyboards) and Paice (drums) went on to bigger things with the MKII "classic" lineup with Ian Gillan (vocals) and Roger Glover (bass), but MKI was just as good as any band releasing music in the late sixties, much like MKIII was in the mid seventies. Oh, Deep Purple were lucky, no amazing! The fact that their music continues to fascinate as well as puzzle after all this time is evidence we are dealing with art of the highest caliber.

and 1/2----------------Spitfire Records!!!!!!!.......2006-07-21

Spitfire Records is a subdivision of Eagle Rock Entertainment located in New York, United States.
So now that we know that, let's talk about Deep Purples' Deep Purple. It took the industry long enough but they finally got it right for the earlier Deep Purple. These guys did it right. First of all this CD was digitized from the original master tapes. Before this CD the recordings where very bad, definitely not from first generation tapes, if from tape at all. The second thing, they did the remastering at Abbey Road. The sound is really great. They also did a great job with the liner notes. If you buy "Shades Of Deep Purple", "The Book of Taliesyn" and "Deep Purple" these liner notes pretty much all together tell you the early story of the Deep Purple. I am very glad I purchased this CD. Deep Purple was on their last throes with this album. I only wished I would have done this earlier. I highly recommend this whole Spitfire series. I don't believe this will ever get any better. By the way for all of you who believe that this band didn't contributed to the hard rock era. The rawness and the harshness were still there! At this time in their short career there were changes happening. This was definitely a group that contributed to Hard Rock. It may not match what happened after these guys MK1 broke up but they did help shape it.
Buy the way this review is about the same for all three releases because when these 3 albums came out they where very close together the impact of all three influenced the music industry.

Not Really Heavy, But Extremely Good.......2006-07-11

After reading the review by Bud Sturguess I feel there is little else to say that is important about this phenomenal album's place in DP history. Instead I'll get personal. It was 1984 and I had just heard about Deep Purple. I already had Perfect Strangers, Machine Head and In Rock and was trying to find anything else I could on cassette. One store out of all the places I checked had a copy of the third album on cassette and I snathced it up. Expecting to hear the heavy thunder of the other albums I was surprised by the tinny sound of the guitar on the first track. But was I disappointed? Not at all. There was something to this album that is not on any other DP album. The incredible drum/bass rhythm combo of Paice and Simper on Chasing Shadows is remarkable. Jon Lord's harpsichord playing at the end of Blind was almost inspiring enough to make me want to start playing that instrument. Rod Evans goes from deep melancholy soulful vocals to an appreciative effort towards achieving a good hard rock vocal style. Ritchie's wah-wah pedal gets a great work out and his soloing on this album should have made him a guitar god before the decade passed. As Sturguess pointed out, every track on this album pushes toward experimentation, and this is an excellent example of early progressive rock. The orchestral arrangements are a great touch and the whole 12 minutes of April are enjoyable. After many subsequent Deep Purple albums that rocked out, this one still remains one of my favourites.
