COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED HARVEST COMPANY INNER SLEEVE
After satisfying all of their classical music kinks with keyboard player Jon Lord's overblown Concerto for Group and Orchestra, Deep Purple's soon to be classic Mark II version made its proper debut and established the sonic blueprint that would immortalise this lineup of the band on 1970's awesome In Rock.
The cacophony of sound (spearheaded by Ritchie Blackmore's blistering guitar solo) introducing opener "Speed King" made it immediately obvious that the band was no longer fooling around, but the slightly less intense "Bloodsucker" did afford stunned listeners a chance to catch their breaths before the band launched into the album's epic, ten-minute tour de force, "Child in Time."
In what still stands as arguably his single greatest performance, singer Ian Gillan led his bandmates on a series of hypnotising crescendos, from the song's gentle beginning through to its ear-shattering climax and then back again for an even more intense encore that brought the original vinyl album's seismic first side to a close.
Side two opened with the searing power chords of "Flight of the Rat" -- another example of the band's new take-no-prisoners hard rock stance, though at nearly eight minutes, it too found room for some extended soloing from Blackmore and Lord.
Next, "Into the Fire" and "Living Wreck" proved more concise but equally appealing and the die was cast for one of heavy metal's defining albums
Side 1: SPEED KING / BLOODSUCKER / CHILD IN TIME
Side 2: FLIGHT OF THE RAT / INTO THE FIRE / LIVING WRECK / HARD LOVIN' MAN
LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of labels - one spindle trace on Side Two, none on Side One
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
As-new vinyl surfaces with noting but some tiny harmless marks visible from manufacture
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Sensational audio quality - strong and vibrant - full of restless energy and excitement and my play-check at loud volume found practically nothing to fault - the (very) occasional one-off tick/touch of low-level surface noted - nothing at all really and I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these minor issues will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins and only sounds normally present on brand new vinyl which in essence this is - fantastic copy - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again, practically untouched - crisp clean and fresh with no edge or spine wear
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
As clean and fresh as the day it was made
