DEEP PURPLE Shades Of Deep Purple (Incredibly rare 1968 UK
Parlophone test pressing for the 8-track MONO vinyl LP [PMC7055] with
plain white labels, stamped on the first side, housed in a matt white
card flipback sleeve with a pasted-on 7" x 5" image of the band,
including a 2-page foolscap press release. From the vast personal
archive of a former journalist, this pressing has been carefully stored
away for more than 30 years. The matrix numbers of
XEX689-1 and XEX690-1 are machine stamped into the 'dead wax'
areas on the disc, the '-1' suffix confirming that it was part of the very
first batch to be pressed. The vinyl on this advance review copy looks
barely played, retaining a beautiful lustre four decades on;
the press release is clean and free from discolouration. A truly
fascinating piece of Purple history!).
