deep purple - shades of deep purple (1lp/stereo)

Shades of Deep Purple marks the explosive debut of one of rock’s most influential bands. Blending psychedelic rock with early heavy metal, the album features the iconic cover of “Hush,” a radio staple of its time.

Ritchie Blackmore’s blistering guitar work and Jon Lord’s virtuosic organ solos define the band’s signature sound. Released in 1968, this record paved the way for Deep Purple’s legendary career and remains a touchstone of ‘60s rock experimentation.
