Deep Purple – Deep Purple (Vinyl LP | DE Reissue | 1976 | NM-/VG+)

Deep Purple – Deep Purple is the band's third album, originally released in 1969, and the last with the first line-up featuring Rod Evans and Nick Simper. It bridges the psychedelic roots with the heavier sound that followed – with “Chasing Shadows”, “The Painter”, “Lalena” and the long “April”. The cover shows a detail from Bosch's “The Garden of Earthly Delights”.

On offer is the 1976 German reissue on Harvest (038-EVC 90 505) with a hype sticker on the cover.
