    THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE RARER DEEP PURPLE RECORDINGS. THE MAGNIFICENT 'MADE IN JAPAN. FIRST PRESS WITH ALL THE -1U MATRIX NUMBERS, BUT CONTRACT PRESSED (WARNER?) INSTEAD OF EMI.

CONDITION:  SLEEVE  VG++   Beautiful laminated Garrod and Lofthouse UK    VINYL: NM  Beautiful glossy, play graded great.

    FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN THEIR PLANT AT HAYES WAS OVERLOADED EMI ASKED EITHER DECCA OR PYE TO PRESS ALBUMS FOR THEM. PROBABLY THE MOST FAMOUS EXAMPLES BEING THE BEATLES RECORDINGS. THIS ONE I BELIEVE IS A WARNER BROTHERS PRESS JUDGING BY THE DESIGN OF THE VINYL UNDER THE LABEL

    ANYWAY THIS CONTRACT PRESS CAN BE IDENTIFIED IN A COUPLE OF WAYS

    FIRSTLY THE INNER RIDGE ON THE INSIDE OF THE LABEL IS TYPICAL OF ANY WARNER PRESSING.

    SECONDLY THE MOTHERS AND STAMPERS ARE NOT PRESENT AS THEY WOULD BE WITH AN EMI PRESS

    THIRDLY THE SMALLER CIRCLE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TYPICAL OF ANY WARNER PRESS

    WHAT IS ALSO INTERESTING ABOUT THE CONTRACT LABELS FOR THIS ALBUM IS THAT IS DOESN'T HAVE 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN' AT THE FOOT OF THE LABEL, AND ON AN EMI FIRST PRESS THE TITLE ON THE LABEL READS:- DEEP PURPLE (MADE IN JAPAN), WHEREAS ON THE CONTRACT PRESS IT READS ' DEEP PURPLE MADE IN JAPAN' NO BRACKETS SURROUNDING THE TITLE

    WHAT IS DOES HAVE TO IDENTIFY IT AS A GENUINE 1972 FIRST PRESS IS THE

    'GRAMOPHONE CO' RIM WORDING AND THE FIRST PRESS MATRIX NUMBERS ALL ENDING IN -1U

    FINALLY A PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE STICKER AND IT'S IMPORTANCE.

    DEEP PURPLE NEVER WANTED TO DO A 'LIVE' ALBUM IN 1972, BUT THE JAPANESE MARKET WAS SO DEMANDING THE BEGRUDGINGLY RECORDED THE SHOWS THEY WERE PERFORMING IN JAPAN AND RELEASED THEM INITIALLY ONLY FOR THAT MARKET. HOWEVER IT WAS DECIDED TO RELEASE THE RECORD IN THE UK, AND SO ALARMED WERE THE BAND THAT THEIR SOUND MIGHT BE TARNISHED BY THIS LIVE RECORDING THAT THEY ISSUED IT AT ONLY £3.25 AS A BUDGET RELEASE (MANY BANDS IN THE EARLY 70'S DID THIS) SO THAT BUYERS COULD NOT CLAIM THEY HAD BEEN CHARGED FULL PRICE FOR AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. HOWEVER AS WE ALL KNOW THE LIVE ALBUM IS ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED LIVE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.

    THE STICKER CAME IN TWO DESIGNS TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION. THE MORE COMMON ONE WAS A GREEN TEXT ON A WHITE PAPER BACKGROUND, AND THE LESS COMMON (THIS ONE) BLACK TEXT ON A GOLD FOIL STICKER
