I GOT A CERTAIN
LITTLE GIRL
SHE'S ON MY MIND
NO DOUT ABOUT IT
SHE LOOKS SO FINE..
Shades of Deep Purple
is the debut album
by the
English rock band
Deep Purple
released in
July 1968
on Tetragrammaton
in the United States
and in
September 1968
on Parlophone
in the
United Kingdom.
The band,
initially called
Roundabout,
was the idea of
former Searchers
drummer
Chris Curtis,
who recruited
Jon Lord
and
Ritchie Blackmore
before leaving
the project.
The Mk. I
line-up of the band
was completed by
vocalist/frontman
Rod Evans,
along with bassist
Nick Simper
and drummer
Ian Paice,
in March 1968.
After about two months
of rehearsals,
Shades of Deep Purple
was recorded in
only three days
in May 1968
and contains
four original songs
and four covers,
thoroughly rearranged
to include
classical interludes
and sound
more psychedelic.
Stylistically,
the music is close to
psychedelic rock
and
progressive rock,
two genres with
an ever-growing audience
in the late 1960s.
