Deep Purple
Shades of Deep Purple
I first
heard this on vinyl, and I can truly say John Lord was awesome, and so
was the rest of the band. They do some cover tunes that are just plain
great. Hush, Hey Joe, etc.. If you wanna to hear a band at it's best
this is the cd to get. That's the reason I'm buying it again, cause it
was such a great one. John Lord rips his organ over and over again,
plays it like the professional he is. This is truly one great product
and you can take that to the bank. And Richie Blackmore is just plain
awesome too. This is real rock & roll at it's best. My advice:
Buy it and you won't regret it.
The album was not well received in the UK, where it sold very little and
did not chart. In the US, on the other hand, it was a success and the
single "Hush", an energetic rock track originally written by Joe South, became very popular at the time, reaching number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The good sales of the album and the intense radio play of the single
contributed largely to the attention Deep Purple would get in their
early US tours and also during the 1970s. Modern reviews of the album
are generally positive and consider Shades of Deep Purple an important piece in the history of Deep Purple
