The Book of Taliesyn is the second album by Deep Purple, released by EMI's Harvest Records in the UK (1968), The album follows the psychedelic/progressive rock sound of Shades of Deep Purple; however, there is a harder edge to several songs, beginning to show the new sound Deep Purple would introduce in 1970 with Deep Purple in Rock. Also, the original tracks are longer and more diverse than the ones on Shades of Deep Purple, proving that the band had expanded their creativity and ambitions when it came to writing their own material.

Interesting Fact : The album name was taken from a famous 14th century Welsh manuscript, containing certain poems attributed to the 6th century poet Taliesin. The title "The Book of Taliesyn" appears in the lyrics for the opening song "Listen, Learn, Read On."
