***BACK IN PRINT!!! First official vinyl reissue of this timeless, heavy UK hard rock album from 1972, produced by DEEP PURPLE’s legendary frontman, IAN GILLAN, originally released on the Decca/Deram label. It was Gillan who said of them: “Not many bands really excite me. But this one’s so raw and completely unpretentious. They make the biggest, bloodiest noise you can imagine, tempered with moments of extreme emotion.” And, of course, he’s right—the music is a menacing combination of over-the-top vocals and screaming lead guitars that could easily pass for something from the early British heavy metal scene. A favorite among vinyl collectors, the album is presented here in its ultimate glory, with all tracks taken from the original master tapes Rough, raw, and doomy! New pressing on purple vinyl packaged in deluxe tip-on gatefold jackets with insert.
LP $28.50
