Book Of Taliesyn (mono) Deep Purple SKU: 825646183470 Barcode: 825646183470 28.00 £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone Released Date: 30th June 2012 Buying Format: 1LP Add to basket Reserve Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info A year 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. Also like Vanilla Fudge, the group’s own originals were creative, thought-provoking, but not nearly as interesting as their take on cover tunes. Vanilla Fudge did Eleanor Rigby, and Deep Purple respond by going inside We Can Work It Out — it falls out of nowhere after the progressive rock jam Exposition, Ritchie Blackmore’s leads zipping in between Rod Evans smooth and precise vocals. As Vanilla Fudge was progressively leaning more towards psychedelia, here Deep Purple are the opposite. The boys claim to be inspired by the Bard of King Arthur’s court in Camelot, Taliesyn. John Vernon Lord, under the art direction of Les Weisbrich, paints a superb wonderland on the album jacket, equal to the madness of Hieronymous Bosch’s cover painting used for the third album. Originals The Shield and Anthem make early Syd Barrett Pink Floyd appear punk in comparison. Novel sounds are aided by Lord’s dominating keyboards, a signature of this group.
