Deep Purple - The Book Of Taliesyn

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON HARVEST 1968.

Harvest SHVL 751 made in Gt. Britain in gatefold cover. Vinyl VG++. Cover VG+.

Several months after the innovative remake of "You Keep Me Hanging On," England's answer to Vanilla Fudge, was this early version of Deep Purple, which featured vocalist Rod Evans, and bassist Nick Simper, along with mainstays Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice. This, their second album, followed on the heels of "Hush," a dynamic arrangement of a Joe South tune, far removed from the flavor of one of his own hits, "Walk a Mile in My Shoes." Four months later, this album's cover of Neil Diamond's Top 25, 1967 gem "Kentucky Woman," went Top 40 for Deep Purple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Purple
